I will never understand why people will trade 1st Rd picks for 8th year players. It's just not a fair trade. Period.

This trade has been challenged. Please freeze the assets pending a decision.

You gotta be kidding me. Miller is a stud that can play several positions at a high level! Even in his 8th year and his retirement % is still at one. I don’t think I can be in a league that challenges every trade because someone disagree’s with the trade!! I have been doing this for a long time and would not consider a trade that wouldn’t help both teams!

There have been 28 trades since the 1985 season ended and only 3 trades have been challenged - one was by the administrator, which was reversed. Out of about 15 current and future 1st rd draft choices that have been traded since the 1985 season ended, only two have been challenged - yours being one of them. That hardly qualifies as every trade being challenged.

Figure of speech..........this trade should NEVER have been challenged!

The trade has been voided by the Trade Committee. The vote was unanimous.

$B$Dog$ has resigned from the league. Sorry to see him react that way.

Buffalo is now open to any GM who wants to switch teams.

We now need another GM to serve on the Trade Committee - better to have an odd number to avoid potential tie votes.

We now have three teams available in Paydirt. Please do your part to recruit players to the league. A full compliment of GMs makes for a more exciting and competitive league. Please also remember that it's only a game.

Owners contesting trades is ruining this league.

I think most GMs disagree with that view. But if a majority of owners want to change the league’s approach, we’ll do so.

I’m not in favor of allowing experienced GMs to take advantage of lesser experienced GMs. It generally results in a less competitive environment, which makes the game less enjoyable.

If you prefer another way of doing or no limits on trades, convince a majority and we’ll implement.

The irony here is that the GM who lobbied for the resurrection of the trade committee quits the first time a decision goes against him.
