Yahoo Fantasy Football League

If you need more people, I'm looking to do a few leagues this year.

Here is the problem, there is no chance the majority of owners will follow the true rules for a trade to be vetoed. Just because you feel a trade is "lopsided" doesn't mean it should be vetoed. Only if two owners get together and make a deal to strengthen one team donut can win. This can also be assisted with a trade deadline. I have had my own experience where the other owners tried to veto my trade because the felt I was getting ripped off. I started off that season 1-4 and was trading with a 4-1 team. Luckily I had a good commissioner who vetoed the veto and let it go through. Well I went on a 5 game win streak after that and missed the playoffs by .2 points. So my point in all this is nothing will ruin a league more than self righteous owners thinking they can determine who is getting ripped off in a trade.

I will join the league only if gabe gives himself the only trade veto power and only uses it if two owners are proved to be cheating.

Allright. I can do this, and I promise to be impartial about it obviously. I wont veto due to fairness, only collusion. My definition of collusion is somewhat subjective, but as long as both teams can give good reasons why they did the trade it is good enough for me.

You can always reserve a spot for ER20 since he's across the pond.  Always a competitive player.

I think I will do that, I am pretty confident he would sign up.

Same.  Especially since its a good list of active members.  

[ravens__]

You can count me in, provided there is still room. Always a competitive league this one.

Naw I hate Yahoo. I don't like ESPN's but I can at least deal with theirs.

[CalvinSmoke]

[gabefergy]

What about nfl.com?

[Gordo52]

What about nfl.com?

Nope. That's probably my most hated. Flea flicker is my preference.

What does fleaflicker have that nfl.com doesn't?

[Yatagarasu]

More customization

[Yatagarasu]

But nfl.com shows highlights of your players scoring.

[Yatagarasu]

If you're going to use fleaflicker, then might as well use all their feature to the max and fully customize your league because any of the free host sites will do fine if you want to be in a casual league.

Sooooo much less clutter and is just a lot more comfortable for me. I don't care about the crappy "fantasy experts" opinions, rankings and other Mumbo jumbo. I like my site that's fast and easy

I just ignore that stuff generally on nfl.com.  Been with them since the beginning!

People will vote a trade down if it is horribly imbalanced and cant be justified. This happened in a trade last year which I assume is what Sizzle is referring to. There was no "evidence" of collusion, but it was so one-sided it didnt make sense and if I recall correctly there werent good reasons to justify it from the owners.

I traded the #1 scorer in all of fantasy that year (RG3). It was lop sided but it wasn't collusion and nowhere near as savage as the one you pulled.
