Since this is a 1 player keeper, I'm about to send rg3, Shady McCoy, Denver D, and a 8th round pick for Aaron Rodgers. Hopefully the guy bites.

But he just made a huge trade where he traded three top 5 round draft picks and received 3 really good players (he's in playoff contention, the other guy is 2-6).

I told both owners that if he hasn't paid by this weekend, the trade will be voided. The other owner is NOT happy lol threatening to leave the league if I do that. We have 7 people on a waiting list to get into this league, so I'm not too worried about it.

Lesson to all...collect EVERYONE's dues before the fucking season starts, don't be a pushover like me

What I don't like is the draft pick trading...may have to eliminate that ability next season.

What if the owner without those picks next year leaves the league? Who is going to want to pay the dues without having those picks?

If Cam Newton score 26 tonight, the 3rd place team will lose and I'll be locked into second place and 1st round bye. I'll have a 2 game lead going into the last week. Would love to sew up a bye spot before the regular season ends.

I'm battling for a playoff spot. I have 2 ways of getting in, both are iffy.

1) Win and Owner B loses (best bet..although he's going up against a 3-8 team, I'm going up against an 8-3 team)

2) Win; Owner C loses, I outscore Owner C by 18 points in week 13 giving me the 'points for' advantage

Or I could start Ballard lol

I guess it depends on the league, though...We have a core group that has been together for almost 10 years, we have rules against doing this (lose future draft picks if you pull stuff like this, or if you stop checking your team and leave injured people in your starting lineup).

In fact my friend joked to me about starting his bench guys/benching his team so a guy can potentially leap frog me into the playoffs. I told him I would set his lineup for him if he tries that bullshit, and that goes for everyone else in that league.

It's a busch league tactic, and if the roles were reversed you would be livid. Don't give me this "i am still starting my bench" bullshit either. Anyone could easily pick up a bunch of worthless scrubs and say "i am still starting a lineup." It fucks with the integrity of the league, and opens pandoras box.
