that is a amusing jackass though. your one of my favorite players to have in a league. I love all the trash talking and stuff, makes it more fun.I'm the jackass of my league.The guy who offers Vernand Morency for Peyton Manning.The guy who sends an e-mail to the whole league when I crush an opponent.That sorta thing.

Me too!! God I love it.
You two need to get a room! No blowhards in any of me leagues - we all just have fun but know one takes it too seriously.yes, i'm it
It's the only way to be....
yes, i'm it
I don't care much for the kind of guy who would offer Morency for Manning just because I'm always afraid if someone sends me enough BS offers one day I'm eventually going to accidentally hit accept.As for your other things I'd much rather be in a league with someone like you than a bunch of dudes who never communicate or get all sensitive when talk a little smack. One real personal peeve of mine is league were no one ever responds to my trade offers. I'm the kind of guy who will write a story with my trade offer and I hate it when all anyone does is just reject the trade with no comment or counter.I'm the jackass of my league.The guy who offers Vernand Morency for Peyton Manning.The guy who sends an e-mail to the whole league when I crush an opponent.That sorta thing.
I'm with you on this.I wish there were more trades in my league. In the past 5 years, there have probably been 5 major trades, I think I was involved in 4 of them.Anyone know of a format/league type that encourages more trading?I don't care much for the kind of guy who would offer Morency for Manning just because I'm always afraid if someone sends me enough BS offers one day I'm eventually going to accidentally hit accept.As for your other things I'd much rather be in a league with someone like you than a bunch of dudes who never communicate or get all sensitive when talk a little smack.

could not agree more. only in my league, they don't even decline, you just never hear back. you're left wondering if they even got the email, or if they've even seen the site lately... and of course, if its someone you really want, it ends up bottlenecking your other deals. people who don't communicate with anyone really need to be replaced. i'm lobbying for that in one of my leagues because those people are tools and i hate them.so yea, i'm the jackass of my league.
We have a ton of trades in our league. I think it's mainly because we limit the number of cuts each team can make over the course of the season. It's a deep league (16 teams, salary cap, blind bidding, 2 FLEX, PPR) and each team gets only 5 cuts. Owners have to find more creative ways to improve their teams and cover byes&injuries. Limiting the cuts not only encourages trading, but makes the cuts themselves a valuable commodity. Trades are often completed for cuts, cap dollars, draft picks as well as players. It also helps that we've all been friends for a long time and there a lot of outside communication throughout the year.Back on topic: Our (message board dominating, bringing his personal life issues into the league, overly serious/sensitive, extremely short-fused) jackass retired this past season. I kind of miss him.
My biggest pet peeve is guys that try and sell their trades and write a bunch of nonsense to accompany their offer. What are you going to tell me that I don't know? Let the offer speak for itself!
Don't know what service you use, but on RTSports (and probably on others), there is an option in the preferences to list "latest activity" on the main page. This allows everyone to see when each team checked in last. It has helped keep everyone in our league active for fear of being the guy that hasn't even looked at his team for a week (not that it was a problem before - it's a very active group, but now everyone stops in every day if for nothing else, to avoid the harassment).
You too, eh ?I'm the jackass of my league.The guy who offers Vernand Morency for Peyton Manning.The guy who sends an e-mail to the whole league when I crush an opponent.That sorta thing.
That's one of my favorite lines.The Bad CEO said:My biggest pet peeve is guys that try and sell their trades and write a bunch of nonsense to accompany their offer. What are you going to tell me that I don't know? Let the offer speak for itself!
At least they are rejecting. Mine go completely ignored. I decided to not cancel any offers this year to see what happens...I now have 3 out of four offers still there since the preaseason.
It's the other guys fault that he now doesn't have a qb to start. DJA says the other guy didn't even need Harrington, and he has lost all respect for the other owner and will screw him in FF or anything else, any way he can. He calls the PDJA (see below) on Sunday to complain, only to hang up on him furiously after being told 'You should be a better gm.' 
The fact that they actually put the effort into making an offer and give you the "extras" is good IMO. If you don't like the "extras" ignore themMy biggest pet peeve is guys that try and sell their trades and write a bunch of nonsense to accompany their offer. What are you going to tell me that I don't know? Let the offer speak for itself!
Brilliant post. Well done.I've identified 5 different types of FF jackasses. Feel free to add more or share your experiences with a particular brand of jackass.1. Rapist Jackass -- This is the guy that will always try to blatantly screw you when proposing trades. We have a couple of RJA's in my league right now. They'll propose trades of like Kevin Jones and Farve for LJ, Vanderjack and Vince Young for Chester Taylor, or Buckhalter and Kennison for Tiki, and tell you with a straight face that it's a good deal. RJA's are very annoying, and if your league is overrun with them, there won't be much trading.2. Trash Talkin Jackass -- These are the funnest of the jackasses. They'll talk smack. They'll make fun of you, your team, and your mother. TTJA's are notorious for 'outing' other league owners who are allegedly having sexual relations with one another. And if you lose to a TTJA, you can bet you're going to hear about it for at least the rest of the season, and probably for close to a year. I'm guilty of being a TTJA.3. Wafflin Jackass -- A WJA is that guy that can't make a decision. Indecision isn't an just an option for them, it's a way of life. WJA's commonly discuss and agree on trades with other owners in casual situations, yet when it comes time to pull the trigger, they get scared and back out because they can't make up their minds. This is the type of jackass where you can offer LT2 for Brady, and they hesitate saying they need to check their backup qb's bye week first.4. Dumass Jackass -- My personal favorite. The stereotypical DJA is a horrible gm, and has a bad temper too. If they can blame any of their numerous mistakes on someone else in the league, you can bet your house they will, as they have to protect their huge ego because they have convinced themselves that they're really awesome at FF. We had a great DJA moment in one league last week. DJA has Culpepper and Carr as his only qbs and both are on byes. So in typical DJA fashion, the DJA waits until Sunday morning to pick up Harrington, who is the only starting qb left in free agency. Of course another owner picked up Harrington on Friday to mess with the DJA, so now the DJA is enraged.
Wait.You trade alot and work the waiver wire and - according to you - don't rape the other people you trade with (and they keep trading with you) and the commish is angry because you win alot?
That's a good sort of jackass though. You people are fun -- and I like watching you collapse midseason as I run bye.I am the jackass of my league and I LOVE that title
Hey thats me...we have first come first serve ww, and every year I always keep a spot on my roster that I can use to pu a rb, qb,wr, even if I do not need them.1st thing I do is try to trade them...I have even been known to play them against the owner that should have made the pick.Our league is only 6 years old, (I'v won twice) and sitting at 5-0 now.Maybe I should change my ways.......not

I love doing song parodies, cutting wrestling promos, and spoofing TV shows and commercials in an effort to (in wrestling terms) "put myself over" on my opponent. I stay away from getting too personal lest anyone get too upset. It must work; I've been the "Smack Daddy Champion" four of the last five years.
sounds like a boring league!You two need to get a room! No blowhards in any of me leagues - we all just have fun but know one takes it too seriously.yes, i'm it
EXACTLY... trashtalkguy is funthat is a amusing jackass though. your one of my favorite players to have in a league.

, but our jackass guy is harsh and abrasive and won't trade with anyone 
... then calls people dumbasses and idiots when they complete trades or someone has a matchup blowup on their bench that they missed 
... he's always calling the commish a cheater when he makes a trade 
. He's the guy who always gets knocked out of the playoffs by the guy that started 0-4 or the guy that squeaked into the playoffs .EVERYBODY hates that guy.
My biggest pet peeve is guys that try and sell their trades and write a bunch of nonsense to accompany their offer. What are you going to tell me that I don't know? Let the offer speak for itself!
However, it pisses me off when people don't respond to trade offers. I don't usually write any comments with an offer, though.
sounds like its more of a personal thing rather than anything he's doing substantial. Sounds like your a little jealous of the visor wearing Owner, maybe he has a better team, making you feel inferior, better record or just plain confident or is it possible he looks better than you wearing a visor? Regardless, if you are the commish do something about it for next season.and again thank you for Clinto Portis
This really is a great breakdown of the types of jackasses. I've found the best way to combat jackass type 2 is by being extremely polite, articulate and insightful. They hate that more than anything. All the type 2 jackasses in my league get really riled up the more I don't play their game.I've identified 5 different types of FF jackasses.

Someone already said this.
And it wasn't funny or relevant than, and it isn't funny or relevant now. Even though it was a great movie.
I hate owners who think all their players are worth double their actual value. My best friend is like this. Trading is impossible with him.
