The Veto

There’s a heated dispute going on right now in one of the leagues I’m running. The scenario should sound pretty familiar to most fantasy football owners... Owner A agrees to trade with owner B but the owner C, the commissioner, thinks the trade is unfair.

Now before I reveal the trade and ask your opinions I need to make my stance on fantasy football trades clear. I think the veto should be used only in rare circumstances when it hurts the integrity of the league. Owners who had nothing to do with the trade essentially need the commissioner to step in and protect them in these rare situations.

Also, the owners current roster should have nothing to do with the evaluation of the trade. For example, I can’t stand when I hear things like, “Well that trade isn’t fair because now he will have the three best wide receivers in the league.” I have always felt that an owner should not be punished for trying to put together an elite roster.

With that being said I will mention the trade to see what you all think and then check back in tomorrow night with my opinion and analysis of the trade.

Owner A: Tomlinson, Buckhalter, Brady, Jacobs
Owner B: Gore, Berrian, Marion Barber, Brees
