Team A gets:

 

Terrell Owens

Jeremy Shockey

 

Team B gets:

 

Brett Favre

Edgerrin James

Warrick Dunn

 

Team A is mine, full roster in signature.

 

Team B has:

 

Carson Palmer

Clinton Portis

T.O.

Greg Jennings

Isaac Bruce

Roy Williams

Daniel Graham

Bucs D

Duece McCallister

Rudy Johnson

Felix Jones

 

The idea of the deal was that I was getting another top receiver to use as leverage to pick up a top running back since Addai went down with an injury and I had a lot of depth on my bench that wasnt being used. I've decided to start Orton. Team B had a more depth at receiver to trade and desperately needed a QB (Favre is in the top 10 for QB scoring) and a second running back since Jones, Johnson, and McCallister are far too inconsistent. Dunn and James have been scoring about ten per week. Trade was vetoed.

I can see no reasonable explanation for a veto of that trade. You need some more information and deserve an explanation. Did the Commissioner veto this on his own whim? Did other owners raise an objection? Is this a free Yahoo league?

 

Whatever the reason, it won't be good enough I can assure you.

 

I can't imagine continuing to be a happy and active owner in that league after this miscarriage of justice.

Sigh...yet another league where people don't get it. The only reason a trade should be veto'd is if there is collusion. Otherwise, I don't care how lopsided the trade is, there's no valid reason to veto a trade. If the league wants to run your team fo you, you should just hand over the reigns now and be done with them.

The league owes you an explanation from each owner who voted to veto the trade at a minimum. You just learned a valuable lesson - you don't ever want to play in a league with these owners again. If the veto stands, you need to get out ASAP. While I wouldn't advocate trashing the league as much as possible before you leave, I certainly wouldn't blame you for doing so.

Your team, your money, your decision. Period. No reason at all to veto this trade.

 

And don't want to hijack this trade, but if interested, there's posting in the advice column and I think it's one of those rare examples a trade should be vetoed. Titled "Unusual trade advice"

here's my free advice: stop playing in free yahoo leagues with idiots. their system is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. 4 "votes" gets a trade vetoed in a 12 team league. which, if you're playing with a bunch of tools, ensures that no trades will ever be allowed. save yourself the headache in the future.
