re: League owners calling for my head over a trade

I love when people come here and they don't get an opinion agreeing with what they believe, then they get mad. Always the best part, then everyone becomes an "idiot" according to them.

Hell, Romo went in the 7th in my 12 man
I was mistaken, Romo went in the 9th round in my league and I grabbed Ball in the 8th. We do 6pts for all TD's so Romo has more value than leagues that only do 4pts for passing TD's. But still a little early for Ball now that I have seen that muddied backfield.

Ball clearly has the most upside of all the Denver backs long term, even though i wouldn't touch any of them right now.
I took him for depth and to keep him if he's worthy of it next year. Hopefully throughout the season, Ball will emerge as the primary and I will get him for a 7th round pick next year.

That kind of trade vetoing would just make me not play with the wussy douches anymore, it's absurd
It is pretty annoying. I always have to put my trades up for league vote and there is always bitching. I can understand it though, people want to win and this makes them think someone is loading up.

Yeah, I'm not saying I'd want Ball, I stayed away from the Denver backs cause I figured it'd be a timeshare for most the year. But Ball was going ahead of Romo pretty much everywhere, can't really complain about that trade, particularly when QB is beyond deep this year and RB is thin as hell.

Which of course goes against the entire point of the veto. Not your fault they suck at drafting. Makes me glad both leagues I'm in have people that know how to draft properly and nobody was really that lopsided. Been in my 10 man keeper league for 5 years now, and never had a trade vetoed by anyone.

yea im the commish and we dont have a veto system.
hell one guy trade doug martin for mcgahee early on in the season last year. as long as its not collusion its good to go. these guys are just bitching to be dicks. apparently posting this over and over on the league chat isnt getting the point across.

This is year 19 for our 12 man league. I have never had a trade vetoed either, but people like to complain
Others have had their trades scrutinized too. Not sure if there has ever been a veto.

I'm trying to see how this would have been a bad trade if it happened early in season and how it fits into context of this trade in OP. Martin was an unknown last year and McGahee has always been a decent flex play and then if it happened after a few games even McGahee was producing as a RB2 last year until injury. It was till week 8 and 9 Martin became a fantasy stud really as he had 2 touchdowns and 0 games of 100 yards until that point.

Last year one guy (week before the playoffs!) Tried to trade Josh Freeman for Frank Gore stating "they put up the same amount of points so it's fair!"

I can see the potential reasoning behind the trade for both parties. It's still a crappy deal for the guy trading Romo this year. But it's a keeper league so you have to look at the potential value in later years.
However, as long as there wasn't collusion, it should be good to go.

Not veto worthy.... but in no way, shape, or form is his team improving. You can spin it all you want, but you are getting a top 10 qb for Denver's 6th or 7th option. You're league sounds like a bunch of bitches and you being pissy about people giving their opinions is a reflection of that.

Comparing player to player, it's pretty lopsided, but the league shouldn't have veto power to begin with. Tell them to eat a dick and manage their own teams.
