Vanity is my insanity 0 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Tony Gonzalez is available for a fourth-round pick. Help a brotha out. As for waivers, tonight is NOT the deadline to have our list set on the ESPN site, correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drater 155 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I believe it's tomorrow night but don't quote me on that, it says waivers will clear "Thursday" Looked it up, it's supposed to 3am EST Thursday. http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/content?page=fflruleswaiverwalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vanity is my insanity 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 To megamovie: can you ask if I Can Have Roeth is interested in Jacob Tamme? I think he owns Dallas Clark. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernSteeler 183 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hey guys, just wanted to make sure some of you know I am on vacation right now. I will be back in town on Monday sometime. I have a couple of trade proposals sent to me, so just wanted to make sure people knew I wasn't ignoring them, just don't have much access to the net. I will get back to ya'll when I am back. Cheers Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drater 155 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hardesty last year, LeShoure this year...I'm destined to trot out nothing but RB4's and RB5's in this league forever it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbs4 104 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 That's a tough break and probably worse than an acl tear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vanity is my insanity 0 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Awful news, and worse for our guy Drater. I might have to stick to wide receivers in future rookie drafts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernSteeler 183 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 That is really bad news for the young kid. I am back home now (which sucks), trying to get caught up on FF news. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kanter112186 17 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sorry drater. I thought of you when I heard the news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drater 155 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks guys. I'm gonna have a hell of a time picking between Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson at 1.01 next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
megamoviejohn 493 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 When I saw the news I instantly thought of this league and what poor person drafted him, of course it would be you! This injury hurts big time. You also have Crabtree who keeps getting hurt..and Stafford... and Thomas... I really hope the injury bug leaves your squad man. That is just horrible luck. That's such a great young team if they'd just not get hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southernSteeler 183 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 When you propose a trade on ESPN, does it show you as conditionally dropping your players? Am I doing something wrong? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vanity is my insanity 0 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) No one wanted Tony Moeaki? I guess I'm the only guy who likes four tight ends on his roster. Edited August 10, 2011 by Vanity is my insanity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vanity is my insanity 0 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Vereen/Garcon for Julio Jones? So to move up from 1.12 to 1.03 all it took was Pierre Garcon? I assume the 2012 first or second is included.... I know this isn't PPR or a money league and both are rookies, but that's a lopsided trade. Drater, I think you need to deal Vick soon if you want to beat Roeth for No. 1 2012 pick. Maybe I'm overrating Jones. Plus this is a blockbuster considering I Can Have Roeth is carrying Kareem Huggins, Demetrius Williams and Joshua Cribbs on his roster. Is he even watching the wire? Just thought I'd ask.

Vanity is my insanity 0 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Maybe I am over-reacting... it's just hard to watch one of the consensus top 3 players in the draft who's receiving rave reviews go to our best team for two non-starters (on his team). That's all. Edited August 11, 2011 by Vanity is my insanity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
megamoviejohn 493 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 It's Vereen/Garcon instead of Knox since Knox was demoted and Garcon is in a much better situation than Knox, and a 2nd Rounder. I didn't take the trade lightly and tried finding the most "even" fair trade I could. Here is a link for people to see if they think I tried to steal Julio. http://www.dynastyleaguefootball.com/dlfor...f=6&t=20253 That alone shows how different people view Julio. I was told to offer Knox and Gronkowski. I was told this trade wasn't enough from one guy and I was also told I was overpaying from more than one. I seriously tried to find what would be considered a fair trade. I don't take trading lightly because I always feel someone is out to get you so the last thing I want to do is trick somebody into trading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

megamoviejohn 493 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Damn people I don't know what to say. I went outta my way to get advice on a fair trade that people agreed with. I even offered a "better" receiver in a much better situation then what I was told to offer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right then I knew he doesn't know what he's doing. I kinda feel like you were trying to offer him the fairest deal but that would also not damage your team at all. Again, I could be wrong and totally out of line. You've got him. Edited August 11, 2011 by Vanity is my insanity Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again, I could be wrong and totally out of line. Just thinking out loud, people. That was an overstatement. He's not that ignorant. I think he's built a nice team since he's taken over. But that was also advice someone said I should try which I'd never offer because it's a ridiculous offer and he doesn't need a TE. I'd of offered him whatever advice I was given. Which I also believe are very knowledgeable people just like here on roto. Knox and Gronk or Knox and Garcon Vereen, Knox and a 2nd round pick- "Yes you might be overpaying" Knox, Vereen and 2012 1st. "That should entice him but is probably an overpay on your end" Starks/Knox/1st - "may be a slight over pay" I then change offers from Knox, because I have heard news that Knox is having troubles, to a "higher ranked" player in Garcon. I think I made it clear in my opening statement on the other board I didn't mind "damaging" my team to acquire Julio. I waited for responses and started offering deals as they came in. I truly had no clue what to offer for Julio because he's a rookie and has done nothing in the NFL. It's why I asked for advice, to avoid this.

Luck hasn't played a down in the NFL yet but how many teams would take him on their team right now? It just irks me because your the one structuring the deal for him and it doesn't sound like he's had any input, whether it's Knox or Garcon, it seems like he's taking whatever you deem fair.

megamoviejohn 493 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 He's had plenty of input. We've been discussing this trade by text for 2 weeks. He turned down my Starks offer which is why that thread got created in the first place. I'm sorry I won't divulge my texts to please you. This whole process would of gone a lot smoother if Roeth had internet but he only has access at the library and nobody wants to go to the damn library during the summer. He was wanting to move for Knox/Vereen/2nd 3 days ago but couldn't because he had no internet. It turned out to be a good thing for him too because right after news came out of his struggles and then demotion making that trade mute. I up the offer to Garcon/Vereen/2nd and he accepts. My goodness people, try and work out the best possible trade and can't please anybody. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
megamoviejohn 493 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) And how can you say "doesn't sound like he's had any input" when you weren't part of this trade (even though you sent a comment saying MAKE THE TRADE on the other site. He's been shooting me down over various offers since we drafted. It's not like I got this team by tricking people into trades. You're the only person I've traded with since we began this thing. And you're not being a dck. We are discussing a trade. Edited August 11, 2011 by megamoviejohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
