Nice work PP. Good job getting Manning out of his"situation"
Thanks. I PMed him to be sure he'd be cool with it before I PMed TSE (as I would with any player). I really don't know much about what went on and I don't want to know. I should say this, though. Pulling off the trade wasn't easy (because of all the players involved:5 of mine for those 3) and TSE was very accommodating. If he hadn't been, I'd have never been able to pull it off (can't trade more than 3 players at once (or do 2 trades with the same team) and I couldn't cut the other 2 because I'd just redid their deals to get rid of their no trade clauses. So, he is trusting that I'll cut them in 4 more days and let him sign them).
Edit: sure not saying that makes him a hero or anything, but figured I should mention it. That said, if there's a further pissing match, the players on my team are always right in my book and will get my full support (in a public forum anyway).
The question on everyone's mind is did the trade improve your 'spirit of the game' score?Very interesting / ironic huh?
TSE says he doesn't agree with owners who have a ton of their own players because it is an unfair advantage...... and then he turns around and trades his best player to a guy who was only able to outbid me *because of* his large supply of players.

I think that argument is dead now from TSE.
I cant say I blame either of them though. Good luck to all parties involved.....
