On a totally irrelevant note, I really wish Beanie Wells was playing somewhere.

Having Beanie and Cecil on my team is something that I would not be able to resist. :rollseyes:

It's been suggested that people should be able to trade with the Drone team. I propose the following rule change (which requires unanimous B-League approval, as any post-draft rule should):

The Drone has a separate trading deadline of September 18. To trade with the Drone, you propose the trade on the board. If 6 of the 10 other owners post that they approve the trade, the Drone must accept it. If, before there are 6 approvals, any games are played involving the affected players, or any injuries occur, then the count resets to zero. Approval is based solely on whether you think a trade is of reasonably equal value and leaves the drone with at least a slightly more balanced and effective team; approval shouldn't be withheld for purely strategic reasons. Lobbying for or against a trade with the Drone will get you a stern look. Just propose, and approve, or not.​

(The reason for the early deadline is that the Drone can't protect its own interests. if the Drone turns out to be a 5-1 juggernaut, there's a strong incentive for the whole league to back a bad trade with an 0-6 team.)

So up or down vote on the rule (before anybody proposes any trades). Gotta be unanimous for the rule to go into effect.

Assuming my post in the other thread doesn't count, I vote yes.

i propose that Wil of everything football actually runs the Drone team if Wil has time..

why not show yourself in both leagues until the Drone is actually replaced....

No, no, Drone is Drone. How else will we know if we're better than the "experts?"

I always thought Wil was a football drone(in the terminator sense) anyway. You might as well just run it.

If that is the intent wouldn't allowing trades decided by the league be counterproductive?

I'm good with this rule.

My team in the B league.
QB: Tom Brady
RB: Matt Forte
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: James Jones
TE: Vernon Davis
Flex Montee Ball
D/ST 49ers
K: Steve Hauschka
Bench: Ben Roethlsberger
Bench: Golden Tate
Bench: Micheal Floyd
Bench: Kendal Wright
Bench: Robert Turbin

Not thrilled with my starting receivers and may shuffle that around. Also my starting running backs both have the same bye week and I do not have two starters to replace them both, so that's not good.

Looking at other teams, it strikes me that there is a lot of parity in this league.

Trying to follow this thread I some times find it confusing since some members are in two leagues.

I think he forgot to include Foster. For his sake, I hope it's not ominous foreshadowing.

I'm willing to look at a trade with you if you're interested.
