-_-

You two!

 

[Nightz]

What in the world just happened? I leave work and everything is all fine and dandy. I get home an hour later and there's chaos. =\

 

[Fifty]

Hey, it's OK. If two people find the trading to be too un-sim as to want to stay in the league, then that's why we have two people on the waiting list. Problem solved. There's no chaos. Everyone can go about your week and gameplan for stopping AP and Turner. I'll be out of your way and Rors/FMT/CB/DM can get the new guys introduced.

 

[DMczaf]

I was never even told of any of these trades. WTF

 

[Rorschach]

Like I said, I doubt even Daw would approve of those trades. I don't think FMT did either. I think Smokey was already denied a Turner trade earlier?

 

[daw840]

Like I said, I doubt even Daw would approve of those trades. I don't think FMT did either. I think Smokey was already denied a Turner trade earlier?

Why the hell wouldn't I approve this? I will have two first rounders (one of which will probably be the first pick) plus Sproles, who is nearly as good as Harvin in KR/PR, and Rivers who is light years ahead of Jruss. A team can't win with only a running game. Taylor will hold me over for this season, next season I will have the best RB in the draft!

 

[Fifty]

I assumed that http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18560892&postcount=10320 meant that Daw had approved the trade, and I made another assumption in that they didn't post the trade until they had commish approval. Maybe I was wrong!

I remember back in S1 when FMT was firmly against Smokey trading Merriman, because he didn't want teams to change their core players too unrealistically. Then LT/Turner happens, and if this goes through, it just says to me that we've lost control of the semi-realistic trading. Cue Daw defending it and Smokey getting very very angry.

 

[Wellington]

So other shady trades are ok, but this one is not?

Weird.

Are you still busting my balls about the (comparatively minor) LJ trade? Or are you talking about another trade? Passive aggressive isn't my style in this thread, so please translate.

I didn't even approve of the previous shady trades, ass.

But hey, majority rules!

Everyone calm down...

Because AD is all your offense. You would do just as bad trading away your only viable receiver (Harvin) for a QB... who is he gonna throw to? Oh, I guess sproles... you got me there!

 

[Smokey]

It's not like you won't be able to gameplan to stop both of these RBs...

besides...I have JBust at the helm now..so who knows?

 

[Rorschach]

Everyone knows JRuss is great. I would love for this trade to happen because it fucks both of you up, but let's get real here...

 

[Striker]

Yeah, seriously guys. :\

 

[Smokey]

Everyone knows JRuss is great. I would love for this trade to happen because it fucks both of you up, but let's get real here...

I'm taking a huge chance.

But one I am willing to take for the spectacular backfield.

If all else fails I'll just put my backup QB from the draft in!

WTF? I didn't even specify which trade I thought was shady. Only asses I see here are the ones assuming things. You guys are the commishes, yet resort to namecalling.

I was joking... that was just the setup for "calm down." Please calm down?

 

[sableholic]

OK who wants brees let's get real crazy here

 

[Rorschach]

OK who wants brees let's get real crazy here

Brees for Pat White.

 

[Wellington]

I was joking... that was just the setup for "calm down." Please calm down?

Let's be clear, you edited the calm down in.

Just take my approach to these bogus trades - it still comes down to the guy controlling them, who are not as good a player as I am!

 

[sableholic]

Brees for Pat White.

That's highly unfair.... brees and my entire draft selections for white would be more realistic based on past trades

 

[Rorschach]

Let's be clear, you edited the calm down in.

I edited in like immediately after just to be sure no one takes it seriously. I use exclamations and outlandish comments, but people still don't get the message...

Ass! Your still trading me white right?

 

[Smokey]

hey pat white lit me up

JRuss I hear is pretty bad..but thats ok.. I'll just run split formation and i'll have the dual option of turner / ap to throw to in the flats in case things get rough.

 

[Rorschach]

Ass! Your still trading me white right?

For sure. I'll find a way to scramble with Brees.

 

[Somnia]

Man I'm enjoying this thread more than tonight's episode of Fringe :lol

 

[DCX]

- THe entire Falcons franchise is now on the block...

DCX

 

[Striker]

For sure. I'll find a way to scramble with Brees.

I'll trade you Josh Cribbs for Breesus.

 

[Rorschach]

I'll trade you Josh Cribbs for Breesus.

Straight up or do I have to give up some picks?

 

[DCX]

Straight up or do I have to give up some picks?

Fuck you Daw for not telling me AP was on the block, i rather have him than over the hill LT Iverson. I would have gladly given you my first rounder and Ryan.

DCX

Sometimes you must inquire about players.

This is what separates the good GMs from the greats.

 

[Fifty]

Yeah, because if I had Michael Turner, and had run for over 300 yards in a game just a few weeks ago with him, I'd be on the phone to Min, trying to inquire about AP!

I know I traded for LJ, but that was after days of Matrix not being able to find a taker for him, and me wanting to do him a favor..plus he's nowhere near as impactful a back.

OK, I should really stop posting about this now.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Wow. That trade is bullshit. Jets are for sale.

 

[Rorschach]

I was about to post the rankings since I forgot last night, but then I noticed I didn't save it and I misplaced the stats. -_-

I'll post the half-assed redos in a tick.

 

[Lonestar]

I think I'm out. This is mockery level of bullshit.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I think we all deserve to know how this trade started, who submitted to who, who approved, and why.

 

[Rorschach]

I think we all deserve to know how this trade started, who submitted to who, who approved, and why.

Who started it? Probably Smokey as he has said in his post above. Who submitted it? No one to my knowledge. Who approved? No one to my knowledge. I checked with CB, DM, and Fifty. No one has knowledge of it. I thought it was a joke, honestly. FMT hasn't chimed in, but I don't think he'd approve this.

 

[Matrix]

I was actually in the game against Crow, losing by only 6 in the 2nd and it boots us.

Fucking blow out rematch time

 

[Lonestar]

Smokey, what can I get from you, for Brady, welker, and mayo???

 

[Smokey]

I was actually in the game against Crow, losing by only 6 in the 2nd and it boots us.

Fucking blow out rematch time

uh better do what we did.

start a new game and act like its the 2nd

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Well, if this is a joke, it should be in the trade thread, if at all.

 

[Rorschach]

Play the 2nd half only. I'm sure crow would approve.

 

[Rorschach]

I said that earlier, but it turns out it's not a joke in Daw and Smokey's eyes? I'm still not entirely sure anymore.

 

[Fifty]

Well, if this is a joke, it should be in the trade thread, if at all.

I guess the moral of the story is to not post trades until they're approved by commishes.

 

[Rorschach]

I guess the moral of the story is to not post trades until they're approved by commishes.

That's what makes me think it was a joke. Smokey always asks first. The premature ejac post and the thing about AD being a FB kinda sealed it for me as one.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I said that earlier, but it turns out it's not a joke in Daw and Smokey's eyes? I'm still not entirely sure anymore.

There should be consequences then. I think I have read a few times that we need to put trade talk in the trade thread.

I guess the moral of the story is to not post trades until they're approved by commishes.

Again, there should be consequences.

I propose that those involved lose trading privileges for the rest of the season.

 

[Rorschach]

Like I said earlier (it was probably ignored!) I messed up and deleted the info, so from 7 on it gets skimpy. Sorry, I'll have proper ones next time.

[1]

Bills (4-0) W4 – I guess I can't really take you down a notch for having a bye... or can I? Well, I could, but I'm lazy and you were already at the top, so there you shall stay. The Bills had a powderpuff game and a bye, but have the upcoming match of the week. Buffalo will face their, also undefeated, division rival, the Patriots. Trent Edwards is still the highest rated starting quarterback and has the 6th most passing yards per game in the league. The Bills are now second in sacks only to the Packers. I guess the Osi trade worked out. Although, most of those sacks were against the AFC East's personal punching bag, but you don't pick who you face. The defense has also allowed the 4th least yards per game and the least points per game in the league. They'll need to play another strong game when the Bills go down to Brady's house.

[2]

Eagles (5-0) W5 - The Eagles are surprisingly winning with the best rushing offense in the league. Westbrook has taken the team on his back with the most yards among non-asterisk runningbacks. Their potent offense has posted the second most yards in the league and the 4th most points. They are also leading the league in turnover differential and interceptions. It seems as if the vaunted East is firmly in the Eagles' grasp, but it's too early to tell. The next two weeks feature an inconsistent Bears team and an also inconsistent division rival. All signs point to this train keeping a full head of steam.

[3]

Broncos (5-0) W5 – The Worst 5-0 Team Ever™ comes off a week where they took out the previous season's AFCW division leader. The Broncos have beaten 3 good teams in their great start and 2... teams. They seem like the real deal with the fifth most points in the league, the fifth most rushing yards, second best turnover differential, the third highest rated quarterback, fourth best running back, and third most interceptions. *phew* The Broncos take on their second division rival in a row next week and then follow that up with a trip to New York to face the Jets.

[4]

Buccaneers (3-1) W3 – The Bucs started off shaky, but haven’t faltered since their first week loss. In the last two weeks, the Buccaneers have taken the division lead from the Saints and beat up on the Steelers for good measure. Has Josh Fraudman actually taken the Buccaneers out of the DMball era? The young quarterback is now top 10 in yards and has the second most touchdowns of all quarterbacks. Antonio Bryant has 4 receiving touchdowns already. The defense isn’t the stingy defense of old, but is still producing plenty of turnovers. Tampa is leading the league in interceptions. The next two weeks see the Buccaneers taking on two struggling teams.

[5]

49ers (3-1) W1 – Jack English couldn’t manage a win against the Broncos in week 4. Hell, he couldn’t manage a touchdown in regulation. In Arizona, he had a forgettable game, but he got the W versus the Cardinals. The 49ers are in full control of their division at the moment and look to cement their status next week versus the Seattle Seahawks. Will Jack English manage to get back into the top 5 quarterbacks list?

[6]

Ravens (3-1) W1- After a loss to the lowly Raiders, the Ravens took out their frustrations on their fellow AFCN team, the Bengals. By doing so, they have also taken the lead in the North. Boldin only has 2 catches for 28 yards since moving to Baltimore. Their bigger acquisition seems to be Larry Johnson who has apparently overtaken the premiere back duties from Ray Rice. The KC bigot already has 82 after one game. The fourth best rushing attack in the league gets even better. The Ravens take on the Falcons next and then host the Bengals for what will probably be another shellacking.

[7]

Patriots (2-0) W2 http://i50.tinypic.com/11weolt.jpg

[8]

Packers (3-2) W1 – With the sudden fall of the Vikings, the Packers look in control of the NFC North.

[9]

Jaguars (1-2) W3 - The MJD-less Jaguars have leap-frogged the Colts for the division lead and they already own the tie-breaker for the division crown. :Manningface

[10]

Chargers (3-2) L1 – The Chargers temporarily lost control of the division, but something tells me they’ll re bound against the lowly Raiders next week! At least the Turner trade worked out for someone…

[11]

Saints (4-1) W1 - The Saints couldn’t take out the Bucs, but they showed they still have the Panthers’ number with a close victory. DREW BREEEEEES didn’t fare too well in that game, but everyone has one of those games, right?

[12]

Giants (2-1) W1 – The Giants fell to the Cards, but there’s no shame in losing to an NFC Best team. They did come back and win a squeaker over the Vikings, but they’ll be looking to blowout the Redskins the following week. I WONDER THEY’LL DELIVER ON THAT!

[13]

Raiders (3-1) W1 - http://i47.tinypic.com/f797q.jpg

[14]

Steelers (3-2) L1– The Steelers lost a game to the Bucs and the division to the Ravens in one fell swoop. They can take care of business in week 8 if they want it back. Don’t worry, Pittsburgh, Flacco can’t scramble for shit!

[15]

Cowboys (3-2) W2 – Wow. The Cowboys’ potent offense put the hurt on Tennessee. With such a potent offense, I bet there will never be a time when they get the score run up on them. Keep on truckin’, Dallas!

[16]

Jets (3-2) W2 – Franchize couldn’t take care of business against the Packers, but they take on the lowly Dolphins next. Unfortunately, that will be followed by a visit by the Broncos. I believe, Franchize! Make us proud! …ugh, I think I’m gonna throw up…

[17]

Colts (2-3) L1 – Don’t worry. Maybe there will be more cpu wins in you future!

[18]

Bears (2-2) W1 – The Bears are the Packers’ only competition this season, but they have a habit of sucking ass. I blame JPout. How can your team rally behind a leader with sandy vagina? Now, I’m not one to fault a person for their handicap, and SV is a serious condition, but people should know their limitations. He’s already accomplished enough. Now is the time to go and spread awareness about his affliction to the masses. Write a book, tour some campuses, do a few talk shows, etc. If we all pitch in, we can put an end to SV in our children's lifetimes.

[19]

Panthers (2-2) L1 - The Panthers kept it close against the Saints and beat up on the Skins to maintain .500. Maybe they can make some noise this year? Next week is their biggest test when they face the division leader. Take out Freeman and get a free tote bag!

[20]

Browns (2-2) W1 – The Browns defense seems legit, but is it enough to compete in the North? Probably not. Prove me wrong!

[21]

Seahawks (2-3) L1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA

[22]

Redskins (2-3) W1 – So… how ‘bout that Morrow… JCamp is all kinds of disappointed to be out of a Redskins uniform right when this potent passing attack hit DC.

[23]

Falcons (1-3) L1 – Last year’s Falcons are hiding in there somewhere, right? Maybe we’ll see them again before the season is done. Or maybe we can just blame it on the NFCS curse. No one knows it was broken last year, anyway.

[24]

Chiefs (1-3) L2– The Chiefs hit the bye with two straight losses, but now they face some chump team called the “Brancos” or something. Never heard of them, so they must be crap. Oh, wait, it’s the “Broncos”?! The third team on this list? Shieeeeeeeee… I mean… uh. Stay positive, KC! I see good things in your future. Like a Dwayne Bowe trade to Oakland! I believe!!!

[25]

Cardinals (0-3) L3 – “wow #3 vs. #25 coming up FMT is going KILLLL me guess i shouldn't even bother showing up.....

(not)” Next time, listen to the rankings. They’re here to help!

[26]

Rams (1-3) W1 – A win! One step closer to NFC West gold. Next thing you know, you’ll be enjoying golden showers in the San Francisco Bay! Suck it down, 9ers!

[27]

Bengals (1-3) L3 – I’ll go out on a huge limb and predict a win for you next week. Thank me later.

[28]

Lions (1-3) W1 – Thank heavens for Dane Morrow. The Lions are no longer the bottom of the North!

[29]

Texans (0-5) L5 – Fuck it, go deep! Wait, that’s not working? Go deeper!

[30]

Vikings (0-5) L5 – I heard Favre was thinking about coming out of retirement before week 7. He decided to stay home after he saw his favorite target was out for a better part of the season.

[31]

Titans (0-5) L5 – Man, you have a tough schedule… and it doesn’t let up any time soon… Silver lining: you didn’t move down the list! There’s something to hang your hat on. Whatever the fuck that means…

[32]

Dolphins (0-5) L5 – It’s not time to tank yet. That’s week 7 talk! Then, you can load up on more picks and get even less wins next season! Eventually, you’ll have no wins, but like 5 top 5 picks on your starting roster. Worked for Al Davis…

They can't trade anyway... this is the last week to trade. Personally, I don't think it's fair to make up a rule like that on the spot and punish someone who committed the offense before the rule was in place.

I do think riling everyone up was bad form, but I don't know what we could do about that if they were really serious.

I understood the posts I read earlier in the week that said to keep trade stuff out of this thread. These guys ignored that and took it even further. Bad form, indeed.
