Hugh 0ne Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The trade, as posted, is a fair trade. The commish who would veto this trade, sucks as a commish. I stand by my statement and it wouldn't matter if DMD was the commish. Brown noser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, as far as I know the trade is being reversed per his email and post in the forum. PS , didn't you like that song in the 80's "We are the World" ?

Menudo Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) If I was in any league that tried to veto a trade where collusion wasn't suspected, I would play out the season (maybe) and quit.

Grits and Shins Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Part of the art of trading is finding teams that have a need and filling that need. This would be my last year in that league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delusions of grandeur Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Take out the names and it's still a bullchit veto. As a Michigan fan I naturally hate TOS anyway. I tend to agree, and I vote that the trade should be vetoed just because his user name is "THEohiostate"... It doesn't even make any freaking sense. If you said THE University of Michigan, that would be fine, but you're not the state. You're THE university that loses big games to better conferences Na seriously, just because you're dealing form a position of weakness in need of a RB doesn't mean you don't have the right to get ripped off a little bit to gain some upside and at least a stop-gap there. (ETA: should have put "ripped off in quotes, because it's purely a matter of opinion who ends up on top in this trade by year's end) Edited October 19, 2011 by delusions of granduer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm vetoing this trade because myself and another team are currently contesting against TOS for the two first round byes in this league. And I like to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambo Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) To me it's about principles in the end, it's my damn team and my money paid to play , so don't mess with my rights to trade provided I'm not careless or throwing in the towels Yup, coughed up a decent chunk of change to play in the league and I'll be danged if someone thinks they can tell me who I can and can't trade. I commish my local and if that same trade came across the wires I'd rubber stamp that sucker without batting an eyelash. If I was in any league that tried to veto a trade where collusion wasn't suspected, I would play out the season (maybe) and quit.

theprofessor Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 BOTH league trade being objected too, please share your thoughts Slambo trades away Miles Austin to TOS for Garcon J.Battle I love my end of the deal , and while I think i did fair better based on name recognition and my own personal opinion , Slambo's team has no startable RB's at this time . A commish overturn is a little shocking to me. I realize I'm biased here, but Garcon is currently the #8 WR through 6 weeks of the season and the clear #1 in Indy and while I certainly think Austin will outproduce him the rest of the way, it's hard to think with a savy vetern FF player like Slambo offering me up this deal he didn't weight out the pros and cons for his own team The trade is fine and should not be vetoed but Garcon is NOT the clear cut #1 in Indy.

theeohiostate Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 +1 this league is now a joke - the trade is fine. This is really a great league , we have most of the original owners for 6 seasons and BM is a good commish , I think he probably had a bad day at work and slammed the trade before thinking. My hope is he'll get on today, see the posts and quickly realize it's not in the best interest of the league to start interfering with trades. In 6 seasons this is the only trade to ever be vetoed, and at $300 per owner to enter , I expect all our owners to have a solid grasp of their roster and manage their teams well. We'll see, either way my team remains solid , but I'd hate to have any animosity among this group of owners, all are great and responsible , respectful and insightful managers of their teams.

theeohiostate Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 as I check the rosters again this morning the trade went through, no need to bash the commish. I don't think BM knows how to reverse the trade on MFL , as I've always done the MFL set up etc..... , So I'm waiting for confirmation of his email and post directly to me before i reverse the deal. As it stands now, the trade is being vetoed and reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 it's just that one of my biggest fantasy football pet peeves is vetoeing trades. i do not even like the idea of trades needing a vote for approval (unless the integrity of the league is damaged). not trying to bash anyone, here. my other pet peeve is waiver wires on tuesdays, before the injury reports are solid. ww should be as close to thursday as possible. my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands now, the trade is being vetoed and reversed. Curious does MFL not allow you to set it up so that the Commish has to approve the trade? (That is how our league is setup on CBS.) If it does, and your league is not set up that way, does the commish really have authority to veto a trade (is it in your rules)? I've been co commish of my local league for 15+ years and we have NEVER vetoed any trade. But we have it set up for commish approval so that we does have that chance if the trade is totally bogus, and so that other things like draft picks (which are covered in a comment on the trade) can be noted for the future.
