eznark my internet's being a little crazy right now. Fair warning it might drop me out of the game! I restarted my modem, that fixes everything right?

 

[Sanjuro]

What is wrong with you?

I wasn't aware anything was wrong with me. What's wrong with you?

If you're going to treat him like a baby he may as well pout like one.

Pretty much. I'm not pouting. It's either I can make trades, or I can't. I've been told that I can't. No issues from me! Just going to go with stock.

 

[eznark]

^Same as every year. There is a chilling effect on plebes trading while the circle jerk will continue doing business among themselves on im.

lol, you on spotty internet and me testing wireless on the xbox for the first time. What could go wrong!?

Also, I'm using the Seahawks, FYI

 

[Sokantish]

It won't even connect to xbox live right now, I don't think it wants me to lose to the seahawks

 

[bluemax]

Luke, his tweet said there wouldn't me many, not that there would be none. Russell Wilson was the most obvious bump, imo. Kind of stunning he didn't get one. Donny hates skinny black people.



The last thing I want to do is give FMT pleasure

All will be well my child.

 

[LiveWire]

Are there cap penalties on trades? I think that's the case in the NFL, isn't it?

Yes, the signing bonus is always penalized.

 

[Rorschach]

You guys are children.

 

[Sanjuro]

You guys are children.

I've already made this observation. Getting too old for internet video football drama.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

No, it really wasn't. If Smokey and DCX can't trade each others' entire teams if that made them happy, then a statement of "there will be no trade restrictions for season 1" is a complete fallacy. Sanjuro is making a valid point.

Wow @ that trade, I offered more to Cola and he turned it down. Oh well!

Their trade happened before we reformed the trade regulation. Thus, it is not subject to approval. We said the trade was fine yesterday. Dont blame this on there being trade regulations moving forward!

 

[Sokantish]

Sorry eznark, looks like its not gonna connect. Good thing we aren't starting today

 

[eznark]

Anyone else want to play?

 

[Sanjuro]

Yes.

 

[Smokey]

A RUMORED TRADE HAS BEEN MADE

LARRY FITZGERALD HAS BEEN REPORTEDLY ACQUIRED BY THE MIAMI DOLPHINS

Dolphins give:
2013 First Rounder
2013 Second Rounder (via Indy from Vontae Davis trade)
2014 First Rounder

YOLO

 

[bluemax]

Also if someone could avatarize Messiah Wilson for me I would totally give them an internet high five.

 

[Trasher]

Ok this is getting ridiculous now. What is the official ruling on trades? I feel like people keep saying that they are fine, and then someone jokingly says they aren't allowed. Or maybe my sarcasm meter is just off, but I can't always tell when our commish's are being serious or not!

 

[Colasante]

The AFC East is there for the taking. I applaud the Dolphins' aggressive moves. Meanwhile the Cardinals will have a 75 rated QB throwing to a 75 rated WR, while being protected by a 74 rated LT. Welp.

 

[CB3]

I tried to go through it with sanjo last night. Nothing involved his trade, so if he doesn't wanna go through with it or any other trades, so be it. He is only potentially hurting himself.

 

[Smokey]

you guys should thank me for exposing the shadow councils "free trade" stance before we got to the season

It smelled like bs when it was said and when put to the troll test it indeed came back as bs

 

[LJ11]

^Same as every year. There is a chilling effect on plebes trading while the circle jerk will continue doing business among themselves on im.

hahaha

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Yes.

And what does it have to do with a trade you made that was grandfathered in? Or do you not understand?

Trash, read the OP

 

[CB3]

You say Shadow Council with a certain disdain. As if you weren't begging to be in it last week on aim . Hmm....

 

[McNei1y]

what the fuck did I miss

 

[Rorschach]

Yeah, but if not for the troll, we could have gotten some trades off before they shut it down. For example, fitz had already gone through. I just wanted a draft/off-season where there was free trade. That draft day would have been amazizing. People moving up in the draft to take some bust QB. TRADE ALERT: #3 has traded to #27! Who's he gonna pick?! Just like on Thursdays IRL. Remember when Denver traded up to get Tebow? olawd!

 

[Trasher]

First picture I saw. If you have a different one you'd prefer let me know.

 

[Smokey]

What does my application for employment have to do with me calling your bluff on a free trade market? Exactly, it doesn't!

As soon as the chance came up that fragile free trade clause was put to the test and exposed.

 

[eznark]

First picture I saw. If you have a different one you'd prefer let me know.

I'm guessing he wanted the awesome picture he posted?

You know I'm right, LJ!

 

[Sanjuro]

And what does it have to do with a trade you made that was grandfathered in? Or do you not understand?

It was part one of a multiple trade scenario, which I was told directly would not be completed.

I'm not bothered by it. It's just the absurd notion that you guys feel like nothing has changed.

 

[CB3]

I dare you to go back and find my first post talking about it. Go ahead. You can even find my subsequent posts about it. Saying id put it to a stop if people wanna be stupid about it.

 

[Rorschach]

Why didn't you just say that instead of beating around the bush?

Who denied it? I thought it was up to vote by like 6 people.

 

[Sanjuro]

Why didn't you just say that instead of beating around the bush?

I'm pretty sure I have already. Boy, you guys like drama.

Who denied it? I thought it was up to vote by like 6 people.

CB. Who immediately asked for Welker :jnc

 

[LJ11]

Any of you guys play Nier? Was at Best Buy and it was staring at me for $10, so I picked it up. Some seem to like it.

You know I'm right, LJ!

1% all over again.

 

[bluemax]

First picture I saw. If you have a different one you'd prefer let me know.

You know I'm right, LJ!

Yeah, I meant the one in the picture I hotlinked from Grantland

BTW, did you go to the concert at the pier last night? I had only vaguely heard one of the bands before but the whole atmosphere was really cool. Plus tons of eye candy.

 

[CB3]

I approved his trade. In aim and in this forum

 

[Rorschach]

I'm pretty sure I have already. Boy, you guys like drama.

Just trying to find out what's going on. I don't know.

CB. Who immediately asked for Welker :jnc

There's your problem. Talk about conflict of interest...

Well, 1 person don't have the ability to deny it, so...

 

[Colasante]

I'm honestly still confused by what the trade regulation is at this point. Can we at least have it be open and unregulated on draft day?

 

[CB3]

Ooooooohhhhh he isn't talking about the Fitz trade. He is talking about how I'd decline his Brady trade

 

[Sanjuro]

Just trying to find out what's going on. I don't know.

No worries. I'm killing time at work at least!

 

[Smokey]

Yeah, but if not for the troll, we could have gotten some trades off before they shut it down. For example, fitz had already gone through. I just wanted a draft/off-season where there was free trade. That draft day would have been amazizing. People moving up in the draft to take some bust QB. TRADE ALERT: #3 has traded to #27! Who's he gonna pick?! Just like on Thursdays IRL. Remember when Denver traded up to get Tebow? olawd!

This is true but I couldn't resist putting it to the test. I knew if I and dcx were involved we would see if they meant it and it turns out the cake was a lie.

Now nobody knows wtf is ok and what isn't ala back to M12

 

[DCX]

Yeah, but if not for the troll, we could have gotten some trades off before they shut it down. For example, fitz had already gone through. I just wanted a draft/off-season where there was free trade.

Remember when Denver traded up to get Tebow? olawd!

It can still be like that. As soon as the fake trade went up they started forming the committee. If they would have waited till the troll was over only two things would have happened: oh wow that was funny or oh wow we totally thought that was real and typical DCX style. Both options could have resulted in moving forward. Nope.

We got what we got and now its under the guise of that we need to you from yourselves. As you can see with phee, he gives no fucks and made the same trade now with voting.

The growing sense is we were never free to begin with. The committee was always there ready to take it all away whenever they saw fit.

It is what it is. Sucks for Cola..well no. He swindled someone else for the same deal so I guess sucks for Sanjuro.

DCX

 

[Sanjuro]

Ooooooohhhhh he isn't talking about the Fitz trade. He is talking about how I'd decline his Brady trade

Yeah. At the time, Brady would have been the only Patriot leaving. There was another possible player, but completely separate deal. The Brady/Fitz deals would have both needed to go through.

This is getting a bit backwards.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

It was part one of a multiple trade scenario, which I was told directly would not be completed.

I'm not bothered by it. It's just the absurd notion that you guys feel like nothing has changed.

Lol who feels nothing has changed? It's clear it has changed from open trades to needing approval. But your little multi team trade would've likely fucked you if your plan was to move Brady or fitz again just on cap hit alone

 

[Rorschach]

Brady is old. He should be allowed to get rid of that pile of shit.

 

[CB3]

So who's to say others won't approve your trade. Its not the first time I'd have voted no and it went through Anyway. If you wanna pout, pout. Don't try to blame it on me.

DCX

YOU specifically are one of the reasons we need a trade council in the first place. That no one really doubted that trade was real should tell you everything you need to know

 

[Mrbob]

The virtuous DCX exposing the "falsity" of the situation. Ironic.

 

[LJ11]

YOU specifically are one of the reasons we need a trade council in the first place. That no one really doubted that trade was real should tell you everything you need to know

hahaha

LT for a prime Turner, never forget.

 

[Smokey]

Then why get political with a statement like "trades will be free" if you knew in the back of your head it was a lie

FMT KNEW IT WAS A LIE!

 

[Sanjuro]

So who's to say others won't approve your trade. Its not the first time I'd have voted no and it went through Anyway. If you wanna pout, pout. Don't try to blame it on me.

I'm not pouting, I'm just explaining. It's kind of lousy that Fitz is now gone. Again, I'll just run with stock.

You are one of the commissioners of the league. If you tell me there is no way I can trade Tom Brady, then I'm just going to drop it. I'm not going to play this little game of complaining to FMT about mean old CB.

 

[DCX]

YOU specifically are one of the reasons we need a trade council in the first place. That no one really doubted that trade was real should tell you everything you need to know

It tells me that the troll was perfect! Lol

DCX

 

[LiveWire]

Who cares though? Did the NFL stop the Redskins from mortgaging the future for RG3? Or the Vikings for dooming themselves for Herschel Walker? If people fuck themselves on their salary cap they'll address it in-game. How does it affect you? What does it matter? Unless it's something like DCX cheating the cap, there's no need to get involved.
