does it show on my team?

I play fantasy football to make a profit, plain and simple.
I like gambling, I like football, it's a perfect combo for me and the motivating factor to not only beat my friends in a competition, but to also take their money while doing so.

Bro, that's all fine and good, and I love to trade, but I have to agree that for me, the MBBRL leagues are special. All of 'em.

We've been doin' 'em, what, 12 years now? Maybe more?

@MilkSpiller22 is maybe a little behind with the MBBRL Dynasty Baseball league, but I gotta tell ya: It's the only baseball league I really look forward to every year.

Not to be some rah rah goombah, but everyone who is in an MBBRL League should be proud that they are.

wasn't trying to say any of the MBBRL are bad cause they don't have money involved, or that my level of involvement is any less without money being involved, if that's how people are taking my comments

No. Some guys know how to balance it. Its rare but I applaud you, Jeff. Plus youre very active in all the free leagues. Your passion for FF shows in a good way.

The guys chasing the money arent here in any of the free leagues. This is a great group here.

I didn't take it we all know Smoke rules

Nah, I'm not taking your comments that way.

You're one of us.

Just taking a moment to say how much I love the MBBRL.

I will take it a step further…

If there is a deadline it will benefit the rebuilders more because there is more urgency for contenders to get a deal done.

As it stands now you can wait as long as you want. Don’t have to worry about getting quality depth in case somebody goes down because you can deal any time.

The deadline hasn't sparked a wave of trades in the leagues that have them. Most average two trades in the month of December. That's fine, because each league has it's own make up of members. Have a dozen trades in December in my league without a deadline but that's due in part because the members love trading. D2 has no trade deadline yet not a lot of trades in December , two to be exact, that's including the latest one. I do like trades to happen more often, it's source for chatter among members and adds some excitement to the league. Our leagues here are more conservative but that's fine also. A deadline for D2 really won't have much of a impact either way, so if we have one, so be it.

How many playoff Trades have been made in this league?

This the only one I am aware of

Deadlines create urgency. I was fully prepared to send out a bunch of offers at the end of the regular season when I was asking about the deadline.

Then I was told there wasn’t one and I lost the feeling of need to make a move. So I didn’t.

The playoffs provide the urgency if a team feels it has some weakness it wants to address. No deadline needed.

 

[TREFF]

I dunno, they strike urgency in me once the playoffs start, i feel kinda dirty proposing trades.

Hell i waited until an hour to 30 minutes before kickoff of the first slate of games this week to clear my roster in preparation for next year, in the hopes that they wouldn't clear waivers in time to be claimed, just because I didn't want it to appear as I was handing out free stuff to whomever had the higher waiver priority.. knowing full well what i was cutting was absolute crap that probably wouldn't interest anyone anyways.

But that's me and my mindset

And of course I finish clearing, get on here, there's the message from Barilko about needing QB's...lol..shit, maybe could've scored something for that trash? Oh well

 

[HaroldSeattle]

In these leagues they would, much as I would like to move some vets but I didn't send out a single offer. Our leagues are pretty conservative that adhere to how the league was fashioned many many years ago. It's what we know. The newer leagues do things differently. I don't always approve TBH, but I do like all the action taking place in the playoffs but it's not for everyone or for every league.

 

[Barilko]

Let the hoser who opened the door with the trade offer chime in
Though I know I can never word it as well and concise as many of you

(Honestly I love reading your honest thoughts and analysis you all do a fantastic job Congrats)

1st off “T” did start by stating no rules have been broken so we do know he accepts the result without a whimper

The Xmas day game really had me worried about Wilson scoring and thus I had to make a decision, had the game been on the weekend then I may have had more news about hurting Hurts

Now prior to the playoffs maybe I should have considered the possibility and prepped then, however at that time there is no way I move a 1st to maybe back my Qb

in hindsight I may have got something done at a smaller cost and received a lesser Qb ( I blame that slip on too many leagues and so little time)

Now back to “T,s” (let me assume) point

It does and can open up a can of worms and to me the (I think implied) questioned can of worms would not be a worry in this league with you all very fine gentleman and upstanding players

If collusion is read as part of the can of words
I’m 100 per cent confident that would absolutely never take place here

If I misread any part of the can of words or misinterpreted it I do so without any ill / negative intent, as “T” and any and all of us are certainly welcome to state an opinion whether popular or not

With all my above ramble being posted. I for one am glad this came up and we can determine what is the popular choice moving forward

I have no prob with a trade as it is Dynasty and sometimes we need go all in who knows I / we may never get back to the Final (Tough Crowd)

With the Xmas day scenario (Thanks NFL) I arrived at uh oh how do I go all in…thus a lower seeded team did inherit a 1st round pick which would not happen with a forced pre playoff deadline (at least in my case anyhow)

I quickly searched the rosters and thought hey Allen/Mayfield well maybe my 1st and Wilson will work as even though Mayfield has become a pretty top notch late bloomer he would be expendable as who benches Allen

To my surprise the deal was excepted…. As stated above we all have opinions on a deadline but my being the trader aside I do believe this is a very acceptable scenario and again I don’t move the 1st a week prior to the playoff. ..yet a lower ranked non playoff team did get to deal for a 1st

Meanwhile KC D and Kelce vs my sunk Collin’s has me hoping Mayfield absolutely blows up and I don’t expect it he just better top Wilson

Sorry for the rant and mostly… Good Luck T

 

[HaroldSeattle]

To my surprise the deal was excepted

Mostly due to utter lack of interest on my players on the trade block this season and the desire for additional 1st round picks. I've rode my roster to the championship game two years running and now age has caught up with my roster. It's difficult to move those player 30 or near 30 in dynasty. This roster will join my other rosters that are in rebuild mode only have one roster in the championship this season.

 

[Chef99]

Actually, I thought it was a good trade for both sides.

And of course, it was completely by the book

So...If we want to rewrite that book, is it poll time?

I'll be honest, at the moment I'm really not sure how I would vote.

 

[Chef99]

Trade Block updated!

One more before the New Year?

 

[Barilko]

Congrats "T" Well done Sir

ultimately I must bow to the Master

I gave it a shot but McLauren's stinker and the Cardinals Connor scam was too much to overcome....

Not counting my chickens until they hatch.

But you definitely have KOTF locked up. Congrats on that!

I’m filing official protest if he doesn’t get another
