It takes 4. And wow frank, you're really quitting after week 2 and looking to pawn off your players...that is precisely what the veto system is for, so good luck with that.
I'm sorry I made a trade right before Brett Favre had a horrible week. I guess I should have waited for him to actually put something together so that no one would complain. It is Week 2 and everyone is making predictions about how players entire seasons will pan out.
Owen Daniels is recovering, and will be back to his old form. If not, then why is he owned in 98% of all leagues?
I also provided the #1 receiver for St. Louis in the trade. Nobody seems to notice that.
Favre has the ability to put up huge numbers. Cloninger wanted a QB other than Hasselback, and I provided that to him. I got a better receiver and TE, and he got a better QB, while at the same time replacing his TE and WR.
And if you really want to get technical, look at my bench. Demaryius Thomas pulls in 23 points in his first week back from an injury. He's a rookie, by the way, and one of my original draft picks. Looking like a starting WR at this point. I call that good planning.
Then we got Louis Murphy pulling in 21.5 points with Gradkowski at the helm.
I could have traded out my entire receiving corp, and still put up the numbers I did.
I love how ya'll are calling foul when I just put together a solid team...
And yeah, calling the league rigged is real funny. I MADE A TRADE. I didn't make 2 teams and pull the best players off of each of them. That would be "rigged." I put together a solid team at draft and made one trade, and now I'm cheating. This is ridiculous.

Why cry "foul?"
I did not veto because it is a fair trade. I never had the intention to veto. You have brett favre who just played the season of his life being traded to a sub - par drafted team. Just because his players do well in weeks 1 and 2 does not mean that his team will bode well later on in the season.
I think it's funny how every1 thinks 1 or 2 players will win the whole season for someone.
In that case, why doesn't one player (such as LT or AP in the past) always win for every league. I think every1 should man up and play like they are supposed to. It's early in the season adn there's no telling how players are going to play.
My favorite example is Pierre Thomas from last year. He was supposed to be a top 5 RB and got hurt. Was my 2nd round draft pick. I still ended up making it to the championship, after trading him for holmes (which was a great trade for me) and lost. I htink he finished around 30th in RB rankings.
Just goes to show, the winner is not the person that has one best player, it's the team that plays the best consistantly each week.
I am still looking for a RB btw

And this. D/ST's start with points and can then lose them, not the other way around. They get 10 points for allowing 0 yards (start of game) and 10 points for allowing 0 points (start of game). They can lose those points by giving up those things. They can also gain points with things as well. I don't think kick returns gains anything for a D/ST actually...I'm not sure.

I'm the League Manager. What type of discretion do you want? If two teams each thought a trade was perfectly even, then why would they even trade? If that's how its going to work, then lets work out a league where all the players are distributed each week as evenly as possible so that no one has an advantage in any game. That would be more fun.
And as the Commish, by the way, go ahead and try to pawn your team off, see how that works...

In my opinion as the LM you should not have taken that deal. If you win the league, which is pretty much a lock unless you suffer massive injuries, its just going to come back to how you pulled off this robbery. Pretty much takes any fun out of winning in my opinion.

its week two guys, granted that trade was pretty one sided and he was lucky most of us paid no attention to vetoing it (i know i didn't) but who cares! it happened i personally think other teams have a good chance in winning. you could make a good case for my team (considering i have santonio holmes coming back in week 4 and all i need is a decent RB) among others. i'm just glad i made it through this week with the matchups i faced. he does have a pretty stacked team now but i think what made the deal so one sided was miles austin being a part of it. just my two cents

btw, he's not even undefeated still so who's to say he's a lock!? everyone needs to just chill b/c anything could happen in a NFL season...he has picked up some quality players that noone else paid attention to as well if you look at his bench

No, tek, Laurent Robinson is the St. Louis Rams #1 receiver. Look at their depth chart. And that is nothing? I mean, the team throws the ball 40-50 times a game . . . that many chances makes a receiver on their team capable of a lot.
And you're right baker, I have picked up some quality players. Demaryius Thomas is owned in under 10% of leagues, but yet he's sitting on my bench after coming off an injury and getting 23 points. I'll start him any day of the week if he stays healthy.
And it's Week 2, and we've already decided that my team is a lock for the championship? A lot can happen between now and then...just keep playing...

Laurent Robinson: 4 Catches for 22 yards and 1 TD
With low level teams like the Rams and scrub players depth charts are fluid. #1 on the chart means nothing.
This has nothing to do with Rookie Wideouts that are on your bench, no one is complaining about that, its the pro bowlers you just stole. Go ahead and start D Thomas over Austin then this week....
Again, in most all leagues that trade would have got shot down.
