Axe Elf 0 Posted October 9, 2011 So I'm in this 12 team league where I own all 12 teams. This week, I picked up Ryan Torain from waivers, and then promptly traded him to myself for Arian Foster. If that wasn't bad enough, I turned right around and offered myself David Clowney for--wait for it--Calvin Johnson! I couldn't believe I accepted, but I did, and right away, I started complaining about how this was all B.S. and that I, as the commish, needed to take action right away to prevent me from stealing all of my entry fees and blah blah blah. Well, just to make myself happy, I put it to a league vote--not letting myself vote for the two teams involved in the trade, of course, and wouldn't you know it--I tied with myself 5-5 to allow the trades. So now I'm in the unenviable position of having to decide the matter myself, but it seems kind of like a conflict of interest to be deciding on a trade in which I am both of the parties involved. I think I'm leaning toward a veto here, and I know how difficult it would be to prove that I colluded with myself, but I have a feeling that this is as close as it gets. I'm just afraid that I'll quit in disgust and leave many of my teams with what amounts to a bye in the week that they play me, which wouldn't be fair to me either. What say you?

GridironGuzzlers 3 Posted October 9, 2011 This is a clear case of collusion. You should kick those members out of the league, and, as commish, take over their teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackjohn 31 Posted October 9, 2011 You, as the commish, are the only owner to make a trade that others think s unfair. So it's all good. On a side note. I traded Eli for Vick to a newb 2 weeks ago. The commish thought that was unfair. We talked and went over the roster, he suggested that I give the newb D. Henderson for J. Stew. So I did. Moral of the story is: let the owners trade. If you have to ask if it's collusion it probably isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man_of_Leisure 0 Posted October 9, 2011 I was in a similar situation several years ago. I can tell you that no matter how you resolve this issue, the league is doomed. Save yourself the impending drama and fold the league immediately. Refund all the fees which will give you a tidy sum of money. The good news is that you can take that money and put it to good use. I've got a friend in Nigeria that is decended from royalty and is due 30 million dollars from the government. He needs about 1.5k to pay off the government and release the funds. If you can help him out, he will give you 15% of the money released. Please send the money as soon as possible, time is of the essence. Kimbo Whataskammer 154 Oil Field Rd. Nigeria.

Axe Elf 0 Posted October 9, 2011 You're only padding your post count because Bill Gates is donating 5 cents for every post you make to a little armless legless goatless orphan in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen. In fact, all of you need to reply to this post five times, or something bad will happen very soon. No really. This isn't like all the others. THIS one is true! Just listen... Hugh Jardon failed to reply to this post five times, and he tripped on a crack in the sidewalk when he was walking home. He fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did he smell nasty, he died. Now make a wish and scroll down...

jrbdmb 28 Posted October 10, 2011 You obviously need to go out on your front porch and punch yourself in the face 10 times (once for each of the other members of the league) in front of your wife/gf, children, and mother. Optional advanced punishment is to do the nasty with offender's wife/gf in front of the kids/mother / neighborhood (if she's hot of course). Then go back inside and reflect on the error of your ways.
