[vent]This is more of a vent then anything else because I have been flat out accused of cheating and it is something that I have never done in all of my years of playing this game.[/vent]
Most of you know that I have been wracking my head against a wall about trading my number 1 pick. See the transcript of it here.
So this morning I get offered a deal I dont think I can turn down. This was offered to me. I trade my 1st rounder (1), my 8th, 9th and 11th for his 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th (He picks 2nd so I would have 4 in a row for rounds 2-3 and 4-5). I toss and turn all day about the deal because I really dont want to trade Arod and his production but I feel like I have to take it. I accept and this is the email I get

Now regardless of whether the you feel the trade is balanced/unbalanced, this was offered to me and there is absolutely no collusion going on. In the constitution the only reason to overturn a trade is collusion. I wrote the guy back and told him not to come so there could be an open spot in a league if anyone is interested (semi kidding, hoping I dont need you)no way.
Russ, in the constitution you set up online (yes, I read the whole damn thing), you put in there that trades will be reviewed for collusion, and then put that the comittee that will do the reviewing is you and you alone. Well, this is collusion of the highest degree and I am vetoing this trade. There is no way that anybody but the guy running the league has a shot at winning when that guy has 2 picks in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th rounds. And on top of that, that gives you 4 picks in a row at the end of the 2nd and end of the 4th. There are a ton of guys out there at every position that are just as good as each other, so losing a first round pick to get multiple picks in those rounds ensures you will win the league. This is completely unfair and this trade cannot go through.
I am also going to save you the time of writing a retort syaing that you feel its fair and the trade is final because I don't intend to check my email again until just before I go to bed or possibly when I wake up in the morning. If this trade is not vetoed, have fun reconfiguring the schedule and payouts because you will have yourself an 11 team league.
