Trade to announce: RNATB gives up Ray Rice and Braylon Edwards Overly Sentimental gives up Mike Sims-Walker and Willie Parker This seems pretty strongly stacked in Overly Sentimental’s favor and I’m not quite sure what the motivation is for RNATB. Would you mind explaining it? ---

Yes. I clicked the wrong button and didn’t notice until I opened this thread. Um… can I request a take-back? ---

Alright, but make a post in the league forum or send Overly Sentimental an e-mail to explain, since I don’t know if he checks this thread or not and I want him to know why I’m rejecting it. ---

I’d like to make sure he’s okay with it before you reject it since he’s sort of getting screwed. ---

Well, if it was a mistake, no harm done. He’s not losing anything except the feeling of “HAHA AWESOME HE ACCEPTED IT FOR SOME REASON” But tell me when you have it worked out, I’ll leave it pending until then. Or if you feel like being punished, I can hit accept too! ---

I have achieved my rightful place in the league. The only game I lost was by about half a point, so a few more yards and I’d have been undefeated. ---

Trade to announce: SenorBeef gives up Jermichael Finley and Darren Sproles It’s Not Rocket Surgery! gives up LenDale White and Brent Celek I noticed that when I accepted a trade, a popup came that said “are sure you want to accept this trade? Once accepted you can’t cancel it” How did you manage to accidentally hit that button also RNATB? 😛 Btw, I’m loaded with receiver depth. I’d be willing to trade one or two for a good defense. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > I’d like to make sure he’s okay with it before you reject it since he’s sort of getting screwed. So… the accidental trade went through. I didn’t approve it. Apparently if you remain idle on the issue it’ll automatically go through after a waiting period. Did you talk to him about the issue? ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Btw, I’m loaded with receiver depth. I’d be willing to trade one or two for a good defense. WR depth? I’ve got Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Marques Colston (1st, 3rd, and 7th – and the latter two are trending upwards). On a related note, my \*best \*three RBs are Julius Jones, Leon Washington, and Reggie Bush (24th, 33rd, 37th). Anyone want to trade me a RB for a WR? ---

> [@VarlosZ](#): > > WR depth? I’ve got Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Marques Colston (1st, 3rd, and 7th – and the latter two are trending upwards). Yeah, you’ve got good starters. I have depth - I have 7 starting quality WRs (some borderline) - Welker, Roddy White, Driver, Mason, Breaston, Massaquoi, and Maclin and only 3 spots to start them in. Okay, so Overly Sentimental has agreed to reverse the unintentional/unfair trade mentioned. RNATB, could you just propose a trade reversing what already happened and then I can approve it? That’d be less of a hassle than having me drop the players (so they didn’t exceed the team capacity) then reassigning them to the teams since yahoo’s commissioner roster management sucks. ---

I probably clicked “accept” and then just saw “confirm” or whatever and didn’t read the “are you sure?” stuff. :smack: I thanked him privately but I wanted to thank Chuck here in public cyberspace too, since he was under no obligation to reverse the trade (and I told him no hard feelings either way). ---

Wow. Within a couple hours of putting Moss, Colston, and Andre Johnson on the trading block, I had four offers, at least one for each. As terrified as I am of watching a Brady/Moss resurgence from the outside, I couldn’t pass up the chance to get Michael Turner, who by himself should be about as valuable as both of my RB slots to this point. Yes, I’m the guy who puts some credence in his overuse issues, but he’s still scored 6 TDs in 5 games, and Atlanta’s good enough to get him more than his fair share of goalline carries the rest of the way. Plus, there’s a legitimate chance that he’s just off to a slow start and will begin ripping off 150-yard rushing games again in the second half of the season. Note: I had a chance to do this trade for Marques Colston instead of Randy Moss – was it stupid to offer Moss instead? The motivation was the schedule. Moss doesn’t have a particularly tough slate of pass defenses, but it’s not an easy slate, either, and in Weeks 14-16 he’s at home twice and at Buffalo once – scary weather. Colston, on the other hand, has a very cupcake schedule in general from here, and only has one potentially bad weather game (@ Washington, Week 13). Also, Colston has already had his bye week, unlike Moss. ---

I probably would’ve kept Moss because the ball gets spread around too much in the NO offense whereas Moss is consistently amongst the highest targetted receivers in the league. The schedule somewhat mitigates that, but I’d still take my chances with Moss. ---

Colston always gets looks, though. The _other_ N’awlins wideouts are the ones who disappear from time to time. Lookin’ at you, Lance Moore. ---

Moore has been hurt. In his first game back he put up like 75/1. ---

He only missed the Buffalo game though. He was active for all the other games- had 2 catches against the Lions and one against the Jets. ---

So, assuming I forget, someone be sure to remind me at season’s end to go back and check on the relative production Randy Moss, Marques Colston, and Michael Turner from Week 7 on. Actually, looking back at trades in general is something fun that almost never gets done. ---
