Can't help but wonder

When is admin going to do something about the complete knucklehead who has the Baltimore team? By the trade vote results, it looks like I am not the only one who is sick and tired of his nonsense.

I would agree with that assesment....and based on the Percentage of owners voting to overturn the trades,it seems as if the same owners who are voting to veto the trades are Still trying to trade with Baltimore and aquire those players who were returned to Baltimore....Hmmmm....i think that would qualify as a "Conflict of Interests"....Stll,it is just a game..no hard feelings,and it is within the Rules of this Great Game,so we''ll just keep pluggin'away and Hope ABE Administers justice

And I am not sure what is meant by this statement:
if i have a trade reversed in any league, i always try again. and if someone elses trade is reversed, i try to offer more than the previous owner did.
with the number of teams he has traded with it's obvious that there is no collusion involved here. the guy is trying to rebuild his team with younger players. he should be allowed to do what he wants unless he is getting nothing of value in return.
also i never use the trade reversal process as a strategic option. any trade i vote against, i would do so if i was in 1st place or last place. i don't appreciate the insinuations.
in my last deal, i declined his offer and sent him MUCH more than he wanted for Saunders so it wouldn't go to a vote. it did anyway.
and i think he last deal with DET was fair as well but it's up for a vote too. i didn't even have a chance to vote on that one to let it stand as the voting link didn't appear for me. all i get is the protest screen.
i don't know what's going on, but i hope we don't have to go through this until the league reboots.

Calling the BAL owner a knucklehead and pointing fingers at certain owners isn't going to accomplish anything gentlemen - except bad feelings.And I am not sure what is meant by this statement:

I wrote that comment that you posted...it was not meant to be anything but an observation...if an owner accepts a trade offer,he must feel it improves his team,or he wouldn't accept it....i was just pointing out that the same owners(possibly) who are vetoing another team's trades are possibly the same owners who end up with those rejected players..if the trade offer for that player is Fair the second time around,there is no problem...if it is not, then the second owner shouldn't be upset if owners vote to veto the trade..as i said before,it is just a game....not a matter of serious nature and should be handled as such...if there is a trade that shifts the balance of Power,it only lasts until the next draft,and then everyone is on the same page again,so it is not that big of a deal

If This League Lasted Five or Six Seasons,those trades made by Baltimore might make sense....the young guys he is getting probably won't improve enough to be a positive Factor by next season...i'll be surprised if Baltimore is more than a .500 team next season...without knowing the owner,i would bet that he Hasn't been at this long enough to find out that improvement comes very slowly when you don't have any mentors

perhaps he's using this as a training exercise in rebuilding?
let's see if either of his last two deals go up for a vote. one of them was worse than either of the last two that went up for a vote.
but i'm not protesting either of them.
on a lighter note, i hope everyone had a joyous, safe, and happy new year.
we didn't drink this year for the first time i can remember. and it's also the first time we didn't have anyone over that i can remember.
we watched 'the fairly odd parents' and spongebob with our kids all evening.

i won't argue your assessment of the owner, but everyone has to learn before joining the pay leagues.perhaps he's using this as a training exercise in rebuilding?

i'm with you,Bundy....I'm not going to question the Baltimore's owners'reasons....maybe this is just a training ground session...and i won't protest those trades either...makes no sense...there are really no impact players involved any way...and I'd Like To add My New Years Wishes of Good will to all the owners in this League

I'm just learning the ropes playing around with some rebuilding ideas before I join a pay league. Don't understand why my trades keep getting protested if its making your team better why should it matter who I trade for??
