First off i've been playing Fantasy Sports for 3 years now. Just Football and Baseball and I've not seen any REALLY stupid trades until now. Recently i've ran into an outbreak of dumbness and some underhanded attempts at winning a league.

Cheap Shot: A fantasy baseball league I"m currently in 5th but only 5 pts out of the lead (a very tight race)

Last week a guy next to last and waaaaayyyyy out of the race traded Tulowitzki(top 10 pick) for Adam Dunn (lowest .BA for a starter) to the 2nd place team. That trade passed... ok everyone was sleeping on that one no biggie... then at the deadline same two guys try to trade 3 top 100 ranked players for a guy who doesn't even start ranked 1008 and another 800 something... what? I lol and make a post the message area for everyone to veto and luckily they did.

Football foolishness: got a message today to vote on AP and Frank Gore for Marshawn Lynch and Mark Ingram. Now I know its technically possible that Lynch and Ingram could be successful but really? AP and FG for a dud and a rookie who will play in a share the ball with everyone offense?

This isn't even mentioning the trades I've been/seen offered... just the ones that were actually put up for a vote or accepted. You got any mind blowing ones you can share?

I don't know about baseball, but for football is it a dynasty League? If it's a dynasty league it could make some sense to the owner (not saying it's a good trade). For a dynasty he could fell FG is going downhill now, and needs RB depth so getting 2 young RB's with high upside for AP.....

That's the only way I can stretch that trade to make some kind of sense to the owner... But yea, stupid trade IMO.

no keeper or dynasty league just a one year deal on all accounts Mark Ingram would potentially have some value in a keeper/dynasty league... but yeah well even so .... doesn't look good but I will admit I could eat crow if Ingram turned out great still if Gore and AP perform to par its lopsided bigtime

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
