    LOL. The guys in Bristol never saw it coming. Though, I hear that Adam Shefter tweeted it an hour before the GM's in Philly and Minny even knew.

    Hey bpk, I was wondering why it showed on the transaction history that you picked up Alge Crumpler, then you dropped him....the Chargers picked him up? If that was like a trade with the Chargers, thats cool.....I just didn't know if you meant to lose your new TE or not.....just curious. :thumbup:

    Any trades for Andre Johnson? I am still listening to offers, all offers...

    NO, the Chargers shouldn't have picked him up.

    The COmmish (SICK) was informed of the trade and has said he will remove Crumpler from the Chargers roster.

    If the Chargers GM sees this, please drop Crumpler.

    for everyone, a general reminder that if a player who seems too good to be true (like rated mid 70's or higher) is on the Free Agent waiver, please check the trade thread (1st post) before picking the player up. That can solve a few problems right there, since most trades are announced in this thread.

    Thanks all!

    (by the way, Bob, I actually do have another trade set up with Crumpler... but not to the Chargers)

    The Vikings sent Jon Runyan and G. Mills to the Tenn Titans in exchange for G. Mcrath and A. Crumpler.

    A subsequent deal has send Crumpler to Atlanta in exchange for thier 3rd round pick in this draft.

    Still need Crumpler restored to the Free Agency list so my trade partner can pick him up.

    ???? If you cut Crumper prior to posting what the TRADE is, or prior to it being COMPLETED and agreed to by other party, he is fair game? No?

    How would anyone know???? Why the secrecy?

    I was under the assumption that the trade was posted on the trade forum and then I went on a 24 hour shift with EMS and couldn't check the forum....then when I return from that shift, loss of power prevented me from checking the posts as well. However here is the result of mine and Bpk's trade.(I don't have info on w/e other trade Bpk may be working on.)

    From Vikings: Runyan, Jon RT / Mills, Garret TE ---> To Titans
    From Titans: McRath, Gerald LOLB / Crumpler, Alge TE ---> To Vikings

    Yah, I was confused with the whole Alge thing also. It looked to me like he had been dropped, added, dropped, and then picked up again, then dropped. then chargers picked him up lol. Hell, i almost picked him up.

    I know a few of us have made trades involving next years draft picks we should get a thread going to mark those so we keep track of them.

    All Trades should be POSTED and confirmed by both owners in this thread....then SICK would add the agreed to deal to 1st post in this thread to record the HISTORY.

    No secrecy. I announced it to the Commish, since only SICK can update the first post of this trade thread. I can;t update the first post.

    In future, though, in addition to notifying SICK, I'll just post it in the bottom part of the thread too in case he doesn;t get around to updating the thread before people take the players involved.

    Regarding the draft picks etc, I think it's a good idea for every GM to keep a text file of ALL their trades.

    I just sent Sick a list of ALL my transactions a few days ago, actually, so we can be clear. Hopefully he puts that at the top of this trade thread so we have one place to look for eveyone's full transaction history.

    As it is right now, it seems like very few people bother reporting their trades. That's not good. It'll lead to problems.

    So, we should all (including me) post trades here AND ask sick to update the first post of the thread.

    Also, I don;t think it would say much for us if we grabbed guys trade players just because they forgot to report the trade the first time.

    If people don;t know better, I think you honor the intention of the trade, for this to not be a cheesy league, imo.

    Now, if a guy REPEATEDLY drops players with NO trade announcements then he is a repeat offender and could become fair game I guess.

    As I see it, all trades must be reported to the COmmish/League office before they are executed in order to be official. I always make sure Sick is notified before I drop a player for a trade. That way I know he'll have my back if anyone interferes with the trade going down.

    I think telling SICK is the #1 priority, but posting it yourself on here too, in case he doesn;t have time, helps reduce Sick's workload since then he doesn;t have to pull players off people rosters. I shoulda posted the trade here myself to make sure people knew about it.

    By the way, you're right about the secrecy being pointless. I started replying to you with that "I'll tell you later" answer and as soon as I posted it realised it made NO sense. I SHOULD be announcing it!!

    THat's why a minute later I went back and edited the response to include all the details.

    Total brainfart. I am usually secretive about negotiations but since this deal was done, I should have just said so. Anyways, you'll see i updated that post right after.

    I think the reason my insitnct was to not reveal it was that I was immediately RE-trading Crumpler to the Falcons and didn;t want Bob pissed off at me for trading a player I got from him right away for a high pick. So, I was kinda feeling guilty about getting a good price for Crumpler when I bought him 'low' from Bob. Thus I wasn;t eager to immediately announce BOTH parts of the deal at the exact same time. I kinda wanted to give the two announcements a bot of space so it didn;t look like I was burning up the phone lines on both deals simulataneously. Which I was.

    So, yeah. guilty as charged. :P Unfortunately it lead to me confusing you guys!

    I'm just lucky no one can fire me as the GM. lol.

    One final addendum to this snafu....

    the reason I picked crumpler up and dropped him again was that after I picked him up, I saw ANOTHER guy I wanted to pick up but my roster was full. I knew I was dealing Crumpler to Atlanta anyways, AND that I'd announced it to the Commisioner, so he WOULD get to Atlanta if I dropped him.

    I dropped him again so I could get the free agent from the wire before I lost out on him just to 'protect' crumpler before giving him away to the Falcons.

    I didn;t want to lose a chance to improve my roster just to hold a space on it for a guy who was already traded.


    Sorry bout the confusion, dudes. My bad. I'll be MUCH more careful to clearly post all trades on here from now on instead of just telling SICK.

    Everyone knows, ya don;t trust SICK!!!

    ;) Kidding. It was my poor communication, bud. Even though I did what was necessary to make it official, I did NOT do what I should have to help everyone in the league know about the trade.

    Still, you suck, Sick.

    Besides, it's hard for ANYONE to keep up with the amount of trades I make.

    (working on three more right now, actually. NO joke.)


    And, by the way, the Vikings would like to announce that they have send DE Ray Edwards to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for RB Brian Westbrook.

    PLease add that to my list.

    Have another season like this one and Ragnar said he'll see about that one.

    [​IMG]

    Yep, I already do this just because. So far I've made four trades: two with Baltimore, one with Seattle, and one with Minnesota. That makes me a lightweight compared to the BpKs and BigDogs of the world. :lol:

    Well, right now I have a TON of B-potential Linebackers. I'm looking for one or two studs to sprinkle in there... especially one at MLB.

    Hey, Crappy... I'm still interested in Ingram if we ever sort out a price!

    Calling Romeo now to get his butt moving. Maybe he was demoralized by his loss to the Lions and is despondently avoiding the message board for awhile as he licks his wounds?

    He is at least semi-active lol, he gets on and posts and you can obviously see this. He just doesn't get on 24/7 like some of us!!! And if you don't get on, EVERYDAY 15 times, then you will have a hard time seeing/reading/knowing about all of these backyard, secretive trades, that aren't announced and posted here, until AFTER they have been accepted. Thats just the way it works, with how this trading process is set up. Dropping and adding. Confusion galore.

    Certain friends of people here get the benefit of the doubt, and others...not so much. People keep wanting to boot him, yet he has posted here enough, and has been very easy to schedule games with. Last week, someone quit half-way through against him! I would be more worried about that if I was the commish. Not someone active on the FA wire, trying to make his team better! I just let him know about Alge by the way.

    I recommend everyone SUBSCRIBE to the THREE key PS3 MADDEN LEAGUE threads....(Season2, TRADES, and CONTACTS).

    CLICK THREAD TOOLS - SUBSCRIBE TO THREAD - INSTANT EMAIL NOTIFICATION


    Any changes or new posts will keep you updated via EMAIL.

    Its quite helpful to know when new info is posted, even if you dont sign on to the site.:up:

    Somewhat agree.

    I did send him a PM two days ago, though, and he obviously didn't get it.

    HOwever, his email addy is in the contact info, so we should use that to contact him. It's true that not everyone comes here daily, and for those people we need to use their additional contact info.

    We asked for it. They provided it. It's up to us to use the Contact List now.

    The only 'outside' people I would have an issue with are those who don't give us contact info.

    ^ see ya......silly over the top and pointless.

    1) Whether you want to trade or not, your obligation as an OWNER in the League is to know whats going on in the League.
    2) Improving your Team only works if you know what other Teams are doing and why FAs are available (since we allow for MANUAL trades after week 6 - one of the rules)
    3) Riping into each others is a no-no; insider or outsider....its a quick ticket to an exit
    4) And I wager, the BOOT comment was not kicking you out of the league, but a SWIFT KICK IN THE PANTs as a quick one liner joke from the COMMISH (if you signed a guy and he was removed by Commish, dont resign him)
    5) Riping into the COMMISH about what his JOB is? Bad idea
    6) All Owners are treated equal, and given the benefit of the doubt...its about COMMUNICATION and as an owner doing everything you can to STAY in touch with the league
    7) Thats your JOB
    8) Bye Bye - don't need ya
