[quote name='KasterDB']I appreciate the apology, but I also appreciate you seeing a weird score line and wanting to know what's up. Obviously, next time take a look at the stats first 
[/QUOTE]
Yeah man, it's no prob. I think the main point from my perspective is, as long as you aren't a flippant asshole while playing me, you can run your team however you want.
EDIT:
Actually, I'd like to make that proclamation to the entire league. I will always play to get back into a game, regardless of how much I'm losing by. Again, my mindset is, it's a video game, and you never know what can happen. So I'll keep trying to score TD's to get back into a game. So, I'll never expect anyone playing me to take your foot off the gas. If you want to, that's cool, but I won't expect you to.

Statements like this are fine as long as you understand there is a league policy on this. We just talked about it the other day. If you're up by 3 scores in the 4th quarter, you're expected to run the ball and chew clock. This doesn't mean you can't throw to pick up a 1st down and keep a drive alive. But your offense should be drastically scaled back at that point.
And when the clock ticks down to the point that you can run it out (ie. under 2 minutes), you're expected to do that as well. We've had the "it doesn't bother me, bro" argument before. But people are still expected to follow league policy.

You can't pressure us because one of the players you're trying to trade for isn't eligible to be traded until we advance to Week 3. You won't hear anything until then.

lol does the committee need me to come back to help put trade thru or say no on them since im always around.
or maybe make a committee of people that are around more. nothing against the committee but trades would move faster if the people that are around more was on it. just an idea and its not a slam in anyway. the reason im usually always around is well in the army and ur infantry if ur not training and ur not overseas ur on ur phone bullshitting. but once i get out im going to be pretty busy since im opening my own bussiness

Sorry, I value intelligence and level-headedness on the committee more than "got nothing to do". Even without you, we've actually got 6 people on the committee right now...which is why sometimes I don't even need to vote. Honestly, I think these trade proposals got overlooked because people were sidetracked having to defend the merits of the committee and talk people out of their conspiracy theories. Staying on topic and keeping things relevant would serve us much better than switching the committee around.

Texans 4th round pick in 2014[/QUOTE]
Trade Rejected
The committee didn't think enough was going back to the Giants in this one. Mercilus is a solid prospect, but Walter is a bit old for a mid-tier receiver, and comes with a pretty hefty price tag. A suggestion of bumping that 4th round pick up to a 2nd round pick was made by one member.

im not sure if ur trying to call me dumb or everyone thats not in the committee dumb. just becuz people have nothing to do at works doesnt mean they arent intelligent maybe they get there work done so fast becuz they are so smart so they have extra time. and u keep bring up the fact the i mentioned one opinion that did make me feel worried but i never said once u guys are all in on it together or anything like that. even said im not trying to stir anything up but it seems to ur trying to. by questioning people intelligence all the type.

[quote name='FrankySox']I'd absolutely love to get into this league. Looking for a reason to pick this up next week for 39.99. I'd happily take the Colts. If I get in I'd be ready to play this Sunday.[/QUOTE]
The Colts have a bit of a different looking roster. Andrew Luck was traded, but the Colts got Eli Manning instead. There was also a trade with Atlanta that the previous owner agreed to right before he bailed, to acquire Michael Turner and Asante Samuel for Reggie Wayne and Vernon Davis (who was acquired with a 3rd round pick for Coby Fleener and Vontae Davis).
But what I realized last night is that EA took away another feature from the website. I can't move players like I could in Madden 12. So, without having a new owner for the Colts, that trade can't be put through anyway. I'd hate to take away those players from a new owner...but the trade was agreed to and approved and was supposed to be put through before the draft. But the Colts owner never showed up, and then he quit like a day later.

One thing I've noticed that EA did get right this year is how the schedule changes accordingly after the first season. In Madden 12, the first two seasons had identical schedules and then they finally changed in the third season.

I didn't say anything that questioned anyone's intelligence. If you inferred that, that's your business. I was simply stating what committee selections are based on and showing that we don't need different committee members (as you suggested...but yeah...not stirring the pot). In all honesty, I'm exhausted by responding to your posts. You can say you're just "trying to liven up a dead thread", but it's distracting and consuming time that could actually go toward addressing league matters. I'm done responding to it. It's easier to just ignore you at this point.

its ur choice to respond im not making u type. its only distracting if u let it be. i simply put a simple suggestion out there thats all it was and u no blew it up to more than wut it was. people were complaining about getting trade thru quicker so i suggested an idea wouldnt that be a league matter?
I think we should just leave it where it is. It seems both of you take what the other is saying out of context, or not the way the other was meaning it to come across. I don't mind the banter sometimes, but when both of you get going and start arguing it's just annoying.

i do agree this is a fair choice but a choice the falcons owner may not like.
i still believe this could have been avoid though if we put a squatter in place to put the trade thru when the colts owner acted like a dick and just bailed after making a deal. but in others thoughts he could have just not cared knowing that he was leaving and took the trade. theres really know telling.
