Welker and Gonzalez for a pu-pu platter of shit? Yeah, wtf. The other trade seems reasonable enough, but that first one is utter bullshit.

I traded my best running back to rudeguy a few weeks ago to repair our respective teams. Now I'm pretty fucked at running back and he's quitting.
Yeah, that Jordy Nelson included in the deal is shit. Even with Rodgers out I bet if I dropped him, no one would pick up from waivers the undisputed WR1 on a team like Green Bay. Also shitty is that Alex Smith guy that I included for the same rationale of being a replacement QB. Which was the stated reason for the trade which you didn't think was worth vetoing which included a QB lower ranked than Smith. And I've been trying to shop Jordy and Smith all day, including some offers which included a shit pu pu platter of guys like Jordy, Smith, and Jamaal Charles. Yep, Charles is a really shitty player also.
I think the minute you say you quit the league you shouldn't be able to make trades anymore. If rudeguy takes that back and says he's still competing then I have no issue with any of the trades. Otherwise both should be vetoed in my opinion.
Did you actually think that my trade offer was that unfair or is it just the principal of the whole thing?
And does anyone have actual interest in RG III, or is trading at this point pretty much off limits?
Guys I'm happy to try...just can't make any promises
Good stuff is happening but its very time consuming and stressful
That's good. I'd recommend you reaffirm the RG3 trade you accepted since there seems to be a lot of angst about it here.
I am fine with the trade. Rodgers is done for and I think my only other option would be trying to talk Kitna into a comeback
Great. Now is the rest of the league OK if I go about trying to trade for an upgraded TE, or do I need to run everything by y'all first so it doesn't get vetoed? Perhaps I can get a white list of players who aren't on the "shit platter" in your opinion?
Ill offer you all the guys on waivers for dez bryant and his bulging disk. THATS LIKE 500 PTS A WEEK FOR A GUY WITH BACK PROBLEMS!
Agreed. At first I voted to veto both, then went back to allow the fair trade, then flopped back to veto vote.
I'd prefer Rude try to update his team though, to keep things fair. Trading, no...
There's one every year...
Honestly I was busy yesterday and did not think it all the way through, but what should have happened is both trades should have been vetoed and Rude's account should have been locked. When someone announces they are throwing in the towel and begins selling off their team, that is the only option. As it was, people found the one trade to be more egregious and vetoed it because of that.

I understand that saying you're throwing in the towel and then trading a pile of your players around is probably not the best policy.
However, I am trying to help him upgrade his team by giving him a good QB (27 pts last night) as well as a meh replacement for his player in exchange for an upgrade to my team. If you guys are pissed cause I am competing with you and am working to make my team better, then that's a BS reason to veto a pretty fair trade.
Everyone already said it was the first thing. If rudeguy hadn't come on here and said he was quitting very little would have been said about your trade.
I feel bad for KT, I actually think he has the best team and it's 3-6.
The only reason I ask is cause 202 mentioned he went back to vetoing the trade and I was curious if it was because he thought it was unfair or because the standings were so close.
