Seriously, Donald Driver for Tony Romo? Look, I know the other guy is a skinny little white dude, but gimme a break. The league is only for 20 bucks. Are you going to strongarm people the entire season because you were stupid enough draft Favre as your starter and McNabb as your backup? At least offer a top 4 draft pick for Romo, for chrissakes. ---

Does your league or commish not have trade vetoing? The other guy didn’t have to accept the offer, did he? How can a trade be forced unless active cheating is involved? Is Polamalu in your Fantasy league? ---

Sounds to me like you need to find a league where everyone isn’t a gigantic wuss. ---

Meh, depending on the strengths of my team I could see myself being on either side of that trade. Romo is 8th best QB right now in my league and about 5 others are within a few fantasy points of him, not even remotely close to the worth of a top 4 or 5 draft pick (or even a top 4 or 5 WR for that matter). If I was desperate for a WR and had another good QB, I would go for it. A lot of getting a good trade off is figuring out what the other person needs…I am guessing the person trading Romo has terrible receivers and is desperate. Bottom line is the trade is lopsided, but I have seen so much worse. You are absolutely overreacting and seem to not really understand fantasy football. ---

When I was in second grade, at Hilo Union School, there was this fat polynesian bully who took advantage of my lack of pidgin skills and used the phrase “You like this?” to steal food off of my lunch tray. No, I don’t really like it, but “like” is not “want” and I’d eat it if you weren’t taking it away from me. Oh, this is about Football? [burps] Yeah, like a fuckin’ freight train, man!

Well what kind of food did you want but not like? In an unusual situation, when I went to elementary school, we had great food. The school wasn’t huge, and the cafeteria was run by this wonder old woman who made fabulous food for us. So I liked and wanted everything except stuff I basically disliked, such as vegetables, and definitely didn’t want. But our bullies were pretty lame, so this situation didn’t come up that often. ---

In Hawai’i, at the time, “You like this?” was used as “Do you want this more than I do?” 200 pound (well, I dunno how big he was, I was _seven_!) Samoan kid poking his finger in my rice got my lunch every damn time. Didn’t matter if I liked it or not, there was some basic misunderstanding with the words “like” and “want”, backed up by force. I was the **only** _haole_ in my class, and I learned a lot more from the kids that year than the teachers. So how about them Dallas Broncos? Or was it the Denver Cowboys this year? (spits, opens another lite beer) ---

Tough time there. Did they make malasadas there? The fried pastry. Its a Portuguese dish, but I hear all the time how they are popular in Hawaii for some reason. Yeah, how that game yesterday? The one where that thing happened to that team. ---

Wow. I know a lot of Hawai’ian Portuguese jokes, but I’d never repeat one here. Also: Yeah, I saw that, and when that guy did that thing? BALLS AWESOME! ---

So what’s the Portuguese connection? I don’t think they have luau’s all that often in Portugal. Do they eat paella too? The Portuguese kind with the crust. I still can’t believe that he got away with that! I’ve never seen anything like it before. Probably makes that other guy feel stupid about doing that other thing last time they played somewhere. ---

Portuguese were the target of many unflattering ethnic jokes. I wouldn’t post a pollack joke, or a nigger joke, a pilipino, or a portigee joke here. You know the best thing about the stuff that happened in that game there the other day? I’m pretty sure he was the guy who did that thing with the chick from that movie the other guy was in. Football rulez! ---

Yeah! Is she hot or what? Did you see her in that movie with that other girl? I’ve got to get hold of the unrated version. Oh wait, I forgot this was about Portuguese food. I like the chorise. It’s great with seafood, in soups, stuffing, all sorts of stuff. I need to stop looking at these food threads, they make me hungry. ---

Is this the same league that only has 8 teams and 6 of them make the playoffs? With only 8 teams, shouldn’t eveyone be stacked at QB? And besides that, Romo’s just slightly above average and Driver is still a good WR. Without knowing more, you just sound like a whiny baby. ---

Know what’s hilarious? Romo’s girlfriend made it to the Super Bowl last year via singing the national anthem, and he didn’t even make it to the playoffs. ---

HAHAHAHA! I was going to post the same thing. Christ, Superhal - are you trying to hit the stereotype of every annoying fantasy player out there? Do you bitch about every single trade that goes through that doesn’t somehow improve your chances of not finishing in the bottom 2? ---
