TimHauck 3,307 Posted October 4, 2008 Who the heck actually uses the trading block? In all of the leagues I've been in, a trade usually happens just from someone proposing something and maybe a counter offer or two will happen. And as someone else mentioned, if you're in a league with people you know, just talking to them is usually a good way to initiate a trade. Yes, if I'm the one proposing the trade, sometimes I do offer something that may favor my side a little at first, just in case he does accept it, but I'm still definitely open to counter offers and would probably be willing to give up a little bit more. I hate people like you who are like "My team is perfect why would I want to trade anyone?" You should constantly be trying to improve your team through trades and the WW.

You little people can't grasp the concept! I enjoy trading, but what I have issues with is being pestered by someone who is not going to give me a fair deal. The annoying trade guy has no players I want since his team sucks. I am serious in saying that he has nothing and he has repeatedly offered me his scrub bench players for my studs. If I get an offer once or twice then it is not annoying. However, when the same moron sends me one sided trades that benefit him 8 times during a 14 day period then he is "The Annoying Trade Guy" and he should be ignored. Just allow the trade offer to expire or make the guy withdraw it since clicking reject only encourages him to offer a different trade just as one sided as the first. P.S. I use the trading block in my leagues. It has a purpose and it is a signal that you are willing to trade certain players and what positions you want in return.

That is pretty strong considering how you do not even know me. You make alot of assumptions in your post. Where did I say I don't try t improve my team? Where did I say I do not pick up guys from the waiver wire? I think you hate me because I ignore your lame trades and you can't steal my good players.

Pimptaddy 0 Posted October 4, 2008 I don't even want to read through all the responses to see if someone has already done it, because whether or not it's already been said, I call BS. Despite your claims to the contrary you're neither intelligent enough to have a 4-0 record (unless it's your League of Extraordinary Retards that you, your sister/wife and your imaginary croonie play in) nor do you possess an IQ greater than your hat size, which is probably unnecessarily large based on your high opinion of yourself. So quit stroking yourself on the board and get a life. If you were really as obscenely intelligent as you claim to be, you'd let all those trade offers just sit there open, then wait until one of the players he's trying to get off you goes down for the season with an injury, then accept his trade, that would teach him...but...he, like the rest of probably knows your an idiot and not bright enough to think of that. I was unaware fantasy football was a thinking man's game. Anyone with basic knowledge of the NFL can succeed at fantasy football. I was under the impression, that I would meet little resistant to my bashing of the annoying trade guy. It has become clear that most of the people on this board are in fact the annoying trade guy. Morons here try to take advantage of others by sending one sided trades and as you stated even trying to cheat with a trade when a player gets hurt. I do not cheat and I do not employ shady tactics like you. P.S. I have a 200 I.Q. and make more money than you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, yes people who constantly try to trade scrubs for studs are annoying, but if you're playing in a real league, you shouldn't see many of those people. But if you get offered a trade that favors the other guy, what's so wrong with making a counter offer? You hate me? Really? That is pretty strong considering how you do not even know me. You make alot of assumptions in your post. Where did I say I don't try t improve my team? Where did I say I do not pick up guys from the waiver wire? I think you hate me because I ignore your lame trades and you can't steal my good players. You're right, I don't know you, and I don't post here often, but I just noticed that you claim to have a genius IQ, and the previous person who said you have no reading comprehension skills was right...I said I hate people LIKE you, although if I did know you I probably would hate you anyway. P.S. For someone with a 200 IQ, I'd think you'd be able to reply to my post with a single post, but instead you needed two, and insisted on quoting my post twice as well. I also hate the grammar police, but since you insist that you're a genius, in your last post you said you "would meet little resistant." LOL. Unless you're from India, that's not a typo, that's an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Me_2006 14 Posted October 4, 2008 1. The annoying trade guy does suck. There's nothing worse than seeing you have an email regarding a trade, getting a bit excited for 3 seconds, and then seeing that he's "doing you a favor by trading Hasselbeck for Romo since you already have TO." I just let the trade sit there until it expires or he cancels it, and if one of the guys involved in the trade on my end goes down during the week, I rush to the laptop and pull the trigger. 2. Are you guys really arguing with Pimptaddy? He may not have a genius level IQ, but he's apparently good at getting everyone worked up. Who on here honestly thinks they're going to change his mind about anything or impress anyone by bashing on him? Is he annoying? Hell yes. He can be a total ######. But it's easier to just ignore him than have a 3 page thread at the top of page 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pimptaddy 0 Posted October 4, 2008 OJ is innocent and I am ashamed to live in a country that would persecute this kind man. He did not kill his white ex wife and that little short, weak white guy nailing his wife. He is innocent and of course he did not steal memorabilia with his gun. O.J. is a good man and he deserves better from this nation. It makes me sick to see him go to jail when he should be out having fun and living life. O.J. is just misunderstood and he deserves another chance. Free O.J.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
