Yesterday I was traveling to Minneapolis for business (hence no rant) and at lunch I was checking my personal email. What do I see? Two fantasy football trades proposed from the most inactive manager to another team. Put it this way, he was that inactive that he still had Peyton at QB. Now I have to give a shout out to a colleague of mine (Heyoo JOE) for alerting me that some collusion could be going on in the next couple days. Sure enough, he was right.

The main controversy heated up when I saw the inactive manager giving away MJD for Joe Flacco and Percy Harvin. Why would a manager who cannot make the playoffs trade a top ten fantasy running back for a mediocre QB a subpar receiver to a fantasy division leader? The excuse, he was trying to play spoiler to teams trying to make the playoffs. Well, he has Hassleback at QB who is having his best year since 2007 and if you’re trying to play spoiler, you might want to keep your best player. Bottom line, trade conspiracies happen, maybe not often, but when you see it, VETO!
As I mentioned I was traveling yesterday and once again I found myself sitting in the cab for five minutes at the curb at the airport. Why might you ask? Because it took that long for my credit card to process! Chicago cabbies need to take a note from their New York Brethren and get up to date machines in their cabs. So if you are planning a trip to Chi-Town any time soon, carry some cash or you might find yourself waiting in the back of a smelly cab.
