miket and tecwrg are not guys who would ever collude. That is why every trade either of them has ever worked out in any of their worlds were worked out in the open, on the World Chat screen for all to see.

That's right, isn't it, guys? You aren't hypocrites.

Sez the alias, who has no credibility here while he (a) owns no teams under the posting ID, and (b) refuses to identify who he/she is an alias of.

Also, with the Rule 5, there are only 2 teams involved in the transaction. The team losing the player in the draft have forfeited his rights to any compensation (beyond the $$ he gets for having someone drafted) by not using a 40-man spot on him.

The owner with the first Rule 5 pick has "exclusive rights" to any Rule 5 eligible guy he wants.

It is two owners "colluding" to make a trade whereby a particular player is not made available to the other 30 teams. Just like a sign-and-trade.

LOL. Everybody will see you didn't answer the question.

EDIT: Everybody will also see that you proceeded to derail the thread (below) into stupid, irrelevant semantics. Well, if you and miket are losing the debate over the original issue (surprise, surprise) that's probably the best you can do, change the subject. Some idiot will probably post pictures, too.

FWIW, I've noticed that you fall on the "I don't see a problem with it" side of every "Is this collusion?" thread.

Do you consider anything, other than an owner trading with his alias, as collusive?

Sure, as I just referenced, if Owner A gets the benefit of Owner B's superior advanced scouting, I would see that as collusion.

As far as your irrelevant comment, if you fail to see any parallel at all, it's just willful ignorance on your part.


Nope. One player is under control by a specific team vs. one player is on the open market.

Just to put it another way, maybe the guy picking first isn't interested in the R5. Maybe he's not interested in said player. Maybe the guy picking 2nd is interested in the player. He no longer gets his shot at him because the guy picking first has been coerced into picking the player he desires.

Right?
