Team C trades away Lesean McCoy & Calvin Johnson to Team B for Benjarvis Green Ellis and Joel Dressen


Was that when BGE was tearing things up and McCoy was not getting the ball consistently (Can't recall if this occurred in the same year)? If that was at the same time, then it doesn't seem that far fetched of an offer, depending on their relationship.

I once had a league where my trade was vetoed when I was giving up a top 15 D and a RB#2 for a RB#3 and a top 15 D because I had a bye week issue. The Commish vetoed the trade bc it didn't appear fair. I just coincidently was playing against his Bro-in-law, if I win that game I eliminate his bro-in-law w 2 weeks until playoffs. I appeal and it goes to a 3 person panel (the commish and his 2 bro-in-laws).

I lose appeal, win game, all 3 people kicked out next season.

Wouldn't call it tearing things up. They were both doing about the same as far as production. It's the Calvin Johnson (who set records that year) for Joel Dressen that made it obvious what they were trying to do. They tried to give me the same excuse about BJE and McCoy, and i told them "fine, just trade those two then, why do you have to throw in the 2nd leading scorer in the league for a droppable player?"

I left out that they tried to do a McCoy/Calvin for Dressen/kicker the day before, then tried to rationalize the BJE/Dressen for McCoy/Calvin.
