Default Re: *Official Fantasy Football \"What Do You Think of This Trade\" Threa

[ QUOTE ]
I have a trade offer from a couple of weeks ago still on the table, where I was shopping Travis Henry after his two strong weeks in a row. I was offered Corey Dillon for Travis Henry straight up, but I didn't accept at the time, and the owner never withdrew the offer.

Should I accept this trade now? Standard scoring, 1 pt 10 yds rush/rec, 6 pts TD, -2 FL.

So I accepted the trade last night, and it already has three objections (four and it goes to the CBS Sportline Commissioner for review).

Also, the owner who originally offered the trade posted a message on the league's message board, stating:

guys vote this trade down. i offered it 4 weeks ago and forgot to take it down. now this guy accepts it. it is one sided and should be diapproved.

LOL

The fact that this owner was stupid enough not to withdraw the trade has nothing to do with it being unfair. Not that it matters, in my league, if you are lucky enough to actually get a quasi-fair offer, the odds of it not getting voted down are slim to none. I would respond to the owner who is telling everyone to vote the trade down, but I don't want to draw any more attention to the deal than there already is (if I can avoid one more veto by midnight, it'll go through). The only trade that went through this year was Cadillac Williams for Chris Chambers straight up, which was around Week 5 IIRC. That one got voted down too, but somehow the CBS Commissioner thought it was a fair deal and let it go through anyway.

Maybe I just picked a bad league this year, or maybe I should just stay away from these CBS Sportsline leagues. I've had great success in these leagues in the past, but this year has been an absolutely awful experience in all regards.

Also, if you guys recall, I posted about a team that added and dropped every available kicker so none of them would clear waivers, preventing another owner and myself from having an option at kicker for the week. I contacted Sportsline about the issue, and all they said was that they would look into it, but nothing was ever done.

Can anyone recommend a good FF service where you can play for money? CBS' leagues aren't that great of a deal anyway, considering how much they rake, but I've enjoyed the site in the past, but this year has just been terrible.

And to cap off my rant, I'm 4-5 this year, yet 2nd in points scored, 3rd in power rankings, with (of course) the hardest schedule strength by far, along with most points scored against. I'm two games out of the division lead (there is a three-way tie) as well as two out of the extremely deep wildcard race. The combination of dealing with the crap this league puts me through along with the bad luck I've had have made this FF season the least enjoyable one for me ever (this is my 5th or 6th year playing).

EDIT: In the time it took to write this post, the fourth objection to my trade went through. alskjdflkasdjflkasjaoweij
