OK, so some of you guys have commented on the fucking retarded trades in my work league. I was just gonna let it go and try to win out (6-1). The more I think about it the more I get pissed and now I'm thinking of tanking the 3 weeks where I play the cheater-teams. The guy I play this week made the Freeman,Randle and BBoldin for Brees, Gore and Rice trade. Then the stupid motherfucker (sorry) trades Brees for Romo (that I can live with) the drops Romo (that is where I have a problem). So I'm thinking of posting something like "There you go, you wanted to win so bad don't let me stop you" or some shit like that. Last year this league was fun and competitive but this year we have been bitten by the collusio bug. No money involved BTW. So, yes for tank and no for beat his stupid ass. Thanks.

no.

Tanking only gives him what he was cheating for in the first place. He does not value competition, he wants to win by any means necessary.

I say the only time you consider tanking is if your opponent would knock the Artificially Enhanced Team out of the playoffs with a win. (And of course you'd tell AET in advance that was what you were going to do... and then you wouldn't do it.)

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

No.

Personal Note: I'd probably be just as bothered by this and consider tanking the season as well. But after doing this for as long as we have, we realize that there are no guarantees in FF. A stacked team doesn't always translate into a championship. Often, the ball bounces a different way. Injuries happen. And at minimum, sometimes when the "stacked" team needs just 80 yards, they get 79. There's still plenty of season left. Hang in there, Sam. I know you're a "gamer" and those kind of individuals grind it out.

Awesome! My mission: To fight against AET's in all leagues, big and small!

My answer is no- and I would just not return to this league site ever again-let it pay out without you.

Thanks Joe. Gonna keep going. Half of the league is still trying without cheating so I figure I should do my best. If I knock this guy off this week he will be 3-5 and pretty much out of it....................

but did u call them out on collusion
I called out a couple of other trades but decided to shine it on as obviously it hasn't helped. So with Lacy's game last night I'm up 8 with his Stacy to go...................not a good feeling about this one.

BTW, here are the trades that have been made in this league in case anybody was wondering.

Lynch for LBell
AJ Green for AGates
CJ?K and Edelman for Megatron (mine)
Freeman, BBoldin and RRandle for Brees, Rice and Gore.

Now that Megatron is going off I'm feeling guilty about the trade I made but dude made the offer to me. As he is a friend I offered TWill, Dola, James Jones or Ben Tate instead of Edelman but he wanted Edelman. His throw in was Tony G (his choice). At least in the 2 weeks he has been able to use CJ?K he has gotten pretty much his best RB production of the year.

That's only 80 total yards and as he is a good part of the passing game I would think he comes close. Hell, IF the Rams get it close to the goaline he might even punch one in.
