I know we have talked about this before but we just had a suspect trade go down in my work league. Lynch for LBell, straight up. Never have voted a trade down before and I doubt I'll trade this one down but these are the 2 new guys we needed to make this league a 12 teamer and they are friends...............guess what..........the team getting Lynch is 3-0 and the team getting Bell is 0-3............there, now I feel a little better after bitching to you guys.

Now the commish just traded Dalton and Gates to the same guy for AJ Green and Vick. I think it is time to bow out of this league.....................

I'd drop everyone on your roster. What the fuck is the point if owners are gonna do that? Does it make them feel better? I don't get it, what pride comes from that?

^^^^^^
I had a similar situation happen to me last year. The last week of the season I benched my whole team giving my opponent the W, giving him the same record with a higher pt total and stole the 4th playoff spot. It actually felt better to fuck some dipshits than win the league.

It's a work league where you're in the supervisory position, right? So you kinda have to be adult about it. You could tell the commish this league isn't what you thought it would be and ask him to manage your team for the remainder of the season as he thinks best for the league. (That should suck all the fun out of it for them.)

Yes it is and yes I will..............be adult about it as hard as it may be. That's why I'm glad I have you guys to vent to. Funny thing is the last person in this league that still works for me gave me his notice 3 days agao. He is not involved. I made a couple of comments and now I'm done. I did tell the kid that is losing his players I would have given him Charles,DThomas and CJ?K for Lynch and AJ (I lied,lol). Bottom line: This league is full of newbies and I tried to help them where I could and actually help make it fun but unfortunately with this kind of crap going on these guys will probably just not play again. Bummer.

THIS is exactly why you should have the veto system.

Lynch for Bell is fucked up

Dalton & Gates for Green & Vick isn't nearly as bad.

The trade itself is shitty enough but with as many new guys that were in this league there are only a few really good teams and this guy was one of them. He is already rolling with AP, Julio, Cobb and Jordy. He is, oops I mean was a little weak at RB (besides AP of course).................

They may be doing it to beat "the boss." I'm not justifying their actions, but it's all about stickin' it to "the man."

So if you just happen to lose interest in this particular league (without making it too obvious), oh well. Sorry. That's all I got.

That was supposed to be a "School of Rock" clip... Anyway, all I'm suggesting is that you give the illusion that you don't care.... maybe leave a bye week player in while he's on his bye... or leave an injured player (out) in your lineup....

Their victory will be a hollow one.
