wsucougar08 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsucougar08 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 No explanation given yet. Learned through word of mouth with a few other players in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm74 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 No explanation given yet. Learned through word of mouth with a few other players in the league. That is disgusting. Collusion is the ONLY reason to veto a trade ...ONLY..I would quit that league if i were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyOne Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hell, I think you're paying too much for TO Can't begin to see why a veto, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If I made a trade like that and they vetoed it. I would sabotage the league for the rest of this season and then quit. Seriously, that is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkillebr Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Not worth a veto. You may be paying a little much for TO but based on your rosters, it isn't a huge issue. No trade between two informed owners who are trying to improve their team should be vetoed, even if others don't agree with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 All of those guys suck this year. So go ahead. TO prolly has the most potential out of all of those guys. No clue why anyone would want to give up TO like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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.

isleseeya Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That is disgusting. Collusion is the ONLY reason to veto a trade ...ONLY..I would quit that league if i were you. This is my take as well collusion or dumping are the true valid reasons for use of Veto imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 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.
