Lol, is that good or bad

Watching league members misuse/neglect their 5 IR I give them!

Inactive teams.

Inactive private leagues. (especially ones that put a 30 or less move limit on the league thus killing the league activity by the last two months of the season)

People who complain about an inactive league when it was a public league they joined (you gotta expect those to be SH*T)

Another...

Leagues that only have 4 keepers or less.

COMON! Anyone can come up with 4 solid guys! Usually, one team\'s 4 superstars are no different in value than anothers. It is like splitting hairs. Keep 8 or more and actually prove something year to year. Otherwise, you might as well redraft everyone. And if you are worried about one team dominating too much year to year, have a success based turnover system to keep it interesting.

Good for sure - like your short shots on players over there - well written and obviously knowledgeable. Hope to see lots of that from you here. I think there is a niche between where Matt, Angus, Comish, Justin and Dobber live with their features and where Eric and Dobber live with their Ramblings and Croaks. Ian\'s thing with the team analysis is in another dimension.

One more complaint to add to the list.

But first of all thanks to all the contributors to the Dobber forum. I come into the office on Sunday to get some work done and then I find myself having spent two hours on the forum. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

I have a bit of a rant on fantasy trading in my league – I am sure it is a common complaint. There are a few guys in my league who are always trying to make trade (side note: I don’t see why someone wants to trade their entire team every two months but to each their own). They way I describe the offers is that they are always trying to hit a home run with every offer. For an example I was recently offered Mike Fisher, Chris Neil and Jeff Hamilton for Marian Gaborik and Rick Nash. Well I appreciate they are trying to win the deal in my league those guys are borderline droppable depending on how bad your team is. I try to treat every offer seriously as there is no point in making ‘enemies’ by insulting their offers. I take the time to carefully explain how good I think Nash and Gaborik are and what my problems are with Fisher, Neil and Hamilton but offers like this keep coming.
It has gotten to the point where I don’t put anyone on the ‘trading block’ (we have a yahoo league where you can do that) because I get tired of stupid offers. Yet the weird thing is that these guys usually manage to make deals happen. I guess if you throw enough darts with your eyes closed you eventually hit a bulls-eye.

Anyways, I just needed to complain to someone and I think my partner is getting tired of hearing it.
