[u]TRADE/FREE AGENT RULES:[/u]

1) Trades: Both teams must post the agreed trade in the weekly thread. I will then examine the trade, and if I think it is an unfair trade, I will veto. If both teams would like to "challege" my veto, we will hold a league vote, and I will need 2/3 majority to overturn my veto by the end of the sim period. If I am involved in a trade, Zellbridge will act as commissioner, and examine the trade, and we will follow the same path. If Zell and I trade, it will automatically be put to league vote. If a trade is approved by the league, it will be processed directly after the league is simmed. Week 6 trades, it will be processed right before the sim, since that is the deadline.

[u]PROPER TRADE REQUEST FORMAT:[/u]
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Trade with (Team you are trading with)
(Team) Gets:
Player A- Position, Rating
Player B- Position, Rating
Player C- Position, Rating

(Team) Gets:
Player A- Position, Rating
Player B- Position, Rating
Player C- Position, Rating

2) Free Agent Pickups: Any player who is out for 3 or more weeks, may be replaced by a free agent. You must pick up a free agent from the same position. Only exceptions are if the free agent would be used in another capasity, and please explain that in your FA request post (IE- Your tight end gets hurt, but you want to replace him with a WR, because he is your 4th string WR, then you may pick up a WR). Zelbrige will gather and evaluate all free agent requests, and on about the last day of the sim period, he will send me a PM with all free agent requests. After the week gets simmed, I will process all free agent pickups, so NO ONE should be touching the free agents, regardless of the situation.

PROPER FREE AGENT REQUEST FORMAT:
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Free Agent Pickup
Injured Player: (Name- Position, Injury Length)
Adding Player: (Name- Position)
Dropping Player: (Name- Position)

These rules will be posted in the main part of the thread EVERY WEEK. If someone doesn't follow these rules, you get 2 warnings. 3rd warning, you're booted. If I have to get to a third warning, there's something seriously wrong with you.

As a common practice, please update your rosters before playing your games. I checked to see if my rosters were up to date, and they weren't, and I know that out of date rosters can cause issues while playing.

Schedule is up at the top, and everyone is good to play when you're ready. Only 3 HvH games, and 9 owners play the XBox, I'm hoping we can roll through this week pretty quickly, or at least try to.

Damnsammit, my availability is in my sig. Sat, Sun is bad for me this weekend though.

I am available all day today, after 2 pm eastern tomorrow, and all day friday. Unsure about weekend as of now.

I'm either playing my NCAA game vs Bill Bonney tonight, or I'm playing vs the Colts. Manning vs Manning. Peyton won for the real Colts and for SpyNavy. Maybe 3rd time's a charm

Not if I turn over the ball 4 times again

Everyone...I have a interview that could possibly give me a job that would change my life...so pray for me, and if you dont pray then wish me luck...i need all the help i can get. I will play my game when i get home from the interview and then I'm packing for my quarterly drill trip. busy week

Why the Hell should I pray for you if I'm not getting a percentage? ;p

Seriously, I've been in that boat, so best of luck man.

Also, The Great And Mighty Cowboys look to continue their undefeated streak against the lowly Bears. Thank God I'm playing the CPU and not one of you guys.

I took over the Eagles you still have me down for the Cardinals

speaking of which...you interested in trading Vick and your starting HB for Rice and Bulger?

Nope gonna keep Vick for now.

Also, i think i did well on the interview...but now, I have to pack for my flight in the morning...i will be flying through snow all day...no fun....but I am taking my xbox with me so i can get my weekly games in...

Got my game in...player of the game was CB D. Foxworth. 2 tackles and 2 Int, one for a 82 yrd td return. Flacco was stinking it up. QB rating of 62.4 but thanks to some key stops by the defense which also had 4 turnovers and a number of sacks, the Ravens were able to come through smelling like roses.

To the 49ers I proposed a trade

Team: Ravens
Request: Trade with 49ers
Ravens Gets:
Frank Gore- HB, 95
Troy Smith- QB, 70

49ers Gets:
Ray Rice- HB, 90
Marc Bulger- QB, 74

Sorry about that, that is now fixed.

49ers owner quit.

Bonney, when would you like to play? I am available anytime today (thursday), or during the day on saturday, or anytime on sunday. I work all day friday so that's out.

ello there ... i would like to make an appointment with "TheCounselar." When can you play?

Got mine in last night. Much like the real Texans, I have no secondary. At least I know what I'm drafting next season.

Alright, well let's go right now then?

I will check to see if you are online, if not then tomorrow would be fine with me, anytime after 5pm CST.

Sunday night 9pm est?

WTF is up wit kick returns? I'm playing my game against Chicago, and I just lost a fumble despite holding the right button to protect the ball. (BS!) Also, I can't seem to get fair catch to work at all. I hit the Y button, but my guys ALWAYS take off running, they NEVER fair catch it.

Ugh ... This just sucks. I also STILL can't run to save my life, while Forte is going wherever the hell he wants to. Any advice? I'm seriously getting frustrated here.

Omega and I played our game tonight, and I squeaked by with a 38-35 win. Things looked good for me, up 28-7, but Omega didn't quit and actually had a 35-28 lead with about four minutes left in the game.

Payer of the game was Antonio Gates, with six catches for 226 yards and three scores. Honorable mention goes to rookie Ryan Matthews with 20 carries for 167 yards and a score.

Wow, thanks to some non-stop blitzing late in the 4th quarter, I had back-to-back pick sixes. One by Jenkins and the other by Ware. That, combined with a 176 yard receiving 2 TD performance by Miles Austin, I was able to stay in it and win 44 to 37.

The bad news is I lost Felix Jones for two weeks with an abdominal Tear.

Man - I still have a looooooong way to go in this game.

I'm getting to bed now. Friday, 5pm CST works for me.

hold Y to get them to fair catch it. Also, it seems that with some of the updates, turnovers are bound to happen. I can force at least one kick off fumble every game and it seems that some defenders are good at striping the ball.
I am in Wv for guard duty, so I am not sure when I will have free time, but if you would like to play another scrimmage game, we can. I will see if my bro has his headset or not...if not, then maybe we can txt or call each other to chat during the game...send feedback and whatnot.

I'm ready when you are. I sent you a friend invite.

Rams defeat the Raiders. Player of the Game for St. Louis, Stephen Jackson. That guy is a tank.

This game can be such absolute sh*t sometimes. Leading the whole game and in the last two minutes Jake Delhome turns into Bart f*cking Starr.
