Just thought I would share a recent trade that is pending league approval:
Chuck trades
Brian Westbrook RB
1st round pick
2nd round pick
to
Mikey(that's me) for
J. Walker WR
1st round pick
2nd round pick
Fine by me, even though I think chuck's getting hosed.
Why is Chuck getting hosed? He's getting GB's top receiver and is moving up in the first round - not to mention he's stacked at RB and will eventually have to release some. So why not make a trade to put yourself in a better position?
As for me, I needed a viable #2 running back and now I have one. I had 3 WRs I was happy with so eventually I would have had to choose which one to release. This helps us both out.

Yep Westbrook is a great loss but I can't keep everyone.
farg Mikey, he'll just have dreams about chugging their poles.
Mr. Chillout...I think I can sweeten the deal. Let's talk. 8)
I just noticed that on the rosters that the trades have been made? I thought it needed 'league' approval?

I just realized I had Jamal Lewis and Shaun Alexander....so all of my bitching is for not. Sorry.
Assuming J. Lewis doesn't end up behind bars. :D
shtein! :o:boom
I forgot about that! :boom
Anyone got a running back? :'(

I think it is highly unlikely though, they have a phone call from 3-4 years ago where he supposedly said yes to a question asking him whether he wanted to purchase ye-YO. Apparently he never bought the ye-YO, never tried to sell it, never possessed it, etc.
I just don't see him getting anything beyond either probation, or a very short sentence and community service.
yeah you sloppy fargers, i havnt seen any league approval of the trade yet. :evil the league may have to punish the offenders for their lack of patience in league transactions. 8)

Mikey told me in a pm that he pm'ed you about the deal and said he got the OK. He then proceded to pm me again to tell me to chance my roster. It's all Mikey's fault, I never trusted that guy much anyway. :P

:o is that so?
This just in! Brian Westbrook has filed a grievance against Chuck and the CFFFL. According to reports, Westbrook and Sgt PSN had been given permission to negotiate a new contract prior Mikey's involvement in any possible trade discussions for Westbrook. Westbrook has been adoment in recent weeks about wanting to play for Sgt PSN's team and said that he will refuse to sign a new contract, take a physical or show up for camp until his hearing is heard. ;)

Karma time! :D
I im-ed MURP and didn't hear anything back so I assumed that the trade was ok. I updated my roster and the draft board and im-ed chuck to do the same.
Don't be haters cuz we came to an agreement. If the rosters, etc. were up on Yahoo and allowed trades right now like they do in the season, none of this would even be being discussed. That and there's really nothing going on until this weekend...

So, if you IM'ed MURP...to chug his pole, and he didn't respond...you would assume that he said, 'fine sir chugalot', do your thing'? ???
You sick farg!
Do I detect some jealousy ;D
Bionic doesn't even ask. Sometimes he just shows up where I work and is eagerly waiting under my desk for me to arrive.
i never got an IM from ya Mikey! :P
honestly the trade is fine by me, but the trades in the yahoo league dont go through until the commish ok's them. Thats the way that works. You must think they are automatic because im such a good commish i make them go through quickly. ;)
Man....I know I im-ed you cuz I told Chuck I was going to and immediately sent it over your way. Maybe it got lost 'er something... :-\
I'll make sure I IM you twice in the future for precautionary reasons ;D
Would it be possible that this "alleged" IM was sent a few weeks back when there was some board trouble and quite a few posts and even a couple threads were lost? Maybe it also affected the messaging system. ???
I just looked in my "sent" folder and mysteriously it's not there....
man, this has me confused. maybe I'm going senial.
So, just for consistency's sake, what is league approval? Just the commish's approval or approval from all of the owners?

lol...I can't take any question from you seriously until you explain how Mo Lewis is taking up a roster spot as a RB on your roster. ;)

The answer to that is quite simple really. He's an idiot. :D

You forgot to mention that he's also a pole chugger
I see both of you working in 'cohoots'. Spin control can be a lethal weapon. The fact that you both have Mo Lewis high in your draft charts is more than obvious. That said, at the right price, he is yours. 8)
And you need to be working in cahoots (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=cahoots) with a dictionary. ;)

That coming from the Midwest's spelling champ. ::) :flipoff
technically i have to approve it since i have to actually go in there and change the rosters around when the time comes. Of course, if the majority of the league wants to reject a trade because it is ridiculously lopsided i will certainly reject it. they cant be official until the league is open at yahoo anyway.
