I actually like this approach, provided you don't have a team in the league. If you do, it's still workable, but can get hairy - trust becomes even more important then and problems could arise. You could be using perfectly honest judgement in your decisions but the perception could be that your decisions are tainted by training to do what benefits your team the most. |

I generally like this approach as well, but have had one bad experience with it. In a fantasy football league, I had the commish reject a trade not because it wasn't fair, but because it "made my team too powerful". He pretty much stated that he rejected it because I was his main competition for the league title and he didn't think he could beat me if he let it go through. I waived my entire team immediately after that conversation... |

That's why I like having a commish that doesn't have a team involved.
Thanks, VPI! |

Nonono... it's only the initiator of the trade. You'll have players in a trade that have not been shopped, but someone from the trade on one side must be available. This will almost always be the "centerpiece" of the trade, from what has occurred practically. To be honest, though, it is SMARTER to shop everyone. That way, you get the most for your guys. |

Well considering my record and my ":void"ing of one of my own trades (I made the offer as a joke and Cringer took it - shocking me and eventually I reworked it to be more even DESPITE most owners saying it should stay) I think I have my fraternity's trust BUT my point is the comissioner must have the right and ability to do what is right (ive used this when having to do rewinds cuz im not the best at computer-ness).

Yeah. I wasn't questioning your honesty, just pointing out that there is always a danger that other owners may wonder if a commish's decisions are influenced.

i agree, which is why WIG should never be making even"iffy" trades, OR just hand the reigns over to someone else and simply be a GM...then wheel and deal, under the league rules, til he's blue in the face.

Agreed. If you have a team and you're the commish, you are held to a higher standard than others.

You ain't seen nothing yet.
Just wait until I send Conti and 6 first round draft picks for Thad. |

The funny thing is he talked about "rewriting the record book" before that game. I had no idea that's what he had in store. That gameplan seemed like a good idea at the time.... In a more on-topic sense, this is why i'm incredibly grateful we have a non-owner as Commissiioner. |
