LOL at the "must be collusion to veto" crowd


We can say "must be collusion to veto" b/c we would never be in a league with these types of morons making terrible, lop-sided trades.

Sure. I've had commish veto power in a league with hometown friends for like 4 years now...I don't think I've vetoed a trade yet. But obviously this guy is in a league with such a moron, and I think vetoing is preferable to just letting it happen

I don't care if a kicker was traded for Lynch...if there is no collusion, a trade should never be vetoed. Let the shitty manager learn from his mistakes.


frick that. I'm not in the business of wasting a fantasy season to teach an idiot a lesson.

If it were week 8 and one team was out of the playoff picture, then yes, maybe you could veto it. It's only week two. Lynch hasn't lit the world on fire. Let the trade go thru.

Because it is early in the season, and because of how the first 2 weeks have played out, Terrance Williams is borderline. And because I have any pause at all, I think ultimately I would let it go through.

A kicker, however, is a no brainer immediate veto.

You hurt the league by vetoing, but you'd quit? How is quitting not hurting the league?

just never veto anything

Pretty much. If I play with people I suspect are cheating, I won't play with them again.

If its serious enough to "not play with someone again", I'd think it's serious enough to fix in real time. Then don't play with them again.

I always revert back to the league constitution. If the bylaws say a trade can be vetoed simply because people in the league don't like it, then you have no recourse and have to go with what the bylaws say. But if the bylaws insinuate something fishy should be going on rather than stupidity then the trade should stand.

I don't have any issues with vetoing trades when collusion or cheating is likely.

Yes. You are wrong. Invoking "the sake of the league" does not make your cause more righteous.

Williams has more fantasy points through two games than Lynch.

When Chip Kelly shipped Foles to the Rams for Bradford, no one vetoed that even though it was obviously insane.

You thinking that you know more than the team who wants Williams is what is wrong. Veto power was never intended to allow the league to crowd manage individual teams.
