Congrats Mike! Welcome to the club. I may not have won the bagger bowl...but the toilet bowl is all mine!!!!
Thanks, I wasn't sure if I would pull it off or not. I have to give most of the credit to your Dad for drafting my team for me, who's to say if I would be in the same position if I had drafted myself. Is there any way he can draft my team for me again next year.
Congrats Mike, my big guys did not show up, you've been the top team all year, u deserved it
I AJ...the owner of AJ All Stars am electing to relocate my terrible team to a new location... next year we will be playing north of the border as the Canadian Casualties...
Due to circumstances some in my control some not, including but not limited to: a poor class of running backs, underperforming wide receivers and a tight end whose play wasn't so tight, not to mention "keepers" who had absolutely no impact what-so-ever. I propose a name change from Rowe's Pros to Rowe's Semi-Pros. Thank you for your consideration.
By no means am i attempting to ruin anybody's season or make this league no fun. I apologize if you think that is the case.
Ill quickly walk you through my reasoning...After starting my season at 1 and 5 my attention in this leaue and sole reason for checking my team was to add a kepper. For weeks I have offered bryan hyla the same players and other variations of my team for michael turner (keeper value). I have also offered multiple trades to garrard for brandon marshal. Niether player would budge. Odds are almost every team in this league has recieved a trade offer from me while garrard and bryan hyla saw the best deals. This league is extremely stingy and boring for a 1 and 5 team. ^ years and no major trades ever happen. I completely rolled the dice but see my team as better off. I have Jay cutler and the 3rd overall pick. Hopefully next year I can earn some of my losings back
Thanks for speaking out and telling us what you think. As far as being fair, its the league to decide, like you said everyone gets an email if a trade is agreed, if enough people think its unfair, than the trade does not happen. The trade went through 2 days i believe and not enough people did a veto. Obviously i agreed on the trade because i believed it was in my favor, I had to give up a keeper in Jay Cutler, a guy that is in the top 5 in QB's and #9 overall is also a keeper in the 6th round creates way more value to AJ's All-Stars than a Peyton Manning who can't be kept and isn't having the kind of season u might aspect. Than the second aspect of the trade in the RB's in Gore to Grant, Gore obviously presents more value to me, in point total. Grant is still the starting RB in Green Bay and still has some potential. So we have two parts of the trade which i believe were even. I probaly would have excepted this trade if it were offered to me. The throw in of Burress was just alittle bonus, he's not what he use to be or never lives up to the hype of #1 WR, he is only #25 in WR's, around 70 overall and with a subpar game in Week 9 likely to drop lower which equates to a #3 WR at best right now. Im just taking a more inside look on the deal, as i said i believe i got a better value thats why i excepted it. If anyone else gets a deal they think is in their favor i would expect them to accept it as well, because the league will vote on it and decide if its fair or not. I hope their are more trades in the league, not everyone will think they are fair, thats why everyone in the league has the right to veto trades, and if the majority thinks its unfair than it won't pass. I don't know what else could be done to prevent unfair trades other than what we have. If anyone else has any thoughts let us know
I don't say much in this league but the trade that just happened is a joke. The fact that if you looked at it in just a points value it doesn't even add up so I don't know what it matters if you even post the trade and ask what the other people in the league think. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't even draft my own team this year but the fact the that this trade just happened really makes me wonder if I want to be in this league again. I have basically been in the bottom half of this league the last couple of years but I have never thought of giving up and help load another team up for the playoff run. Sorry if I'm calling Matt and AJ out on this trade but I think it is crazy that it was even allowed to happen. I'm not just saying this this week just because I'm playing Matt this week either but I'm just saying something because I think if someone just doesn't care anymore about their team then they should just not bother anymore. Maybe I'm looking into this to much but unless someone can actually tell me that this was fair trade and actually show me why then I'm questioning this and please reply. If you can't tell by my message I think this is ridiculous and if someone wants to offer me a trade as ridiculous as this then I'm willing to think about it.
