       Agreed.  I'm not liking this whole idea of trading picks a year
       before they occur.

       So what day would be ok. This is how some teams can help
       themselves. I still think that when the 13 season over then u
       should be able to trade picks. Sometimes u can get a deal done
       with adding picks in it.

       Smurf, I want the bottom teams to improve and compete.  Ask any
       of the others in the Circle; I normally champion causes that
       would help do that.
       But it's not my job to help them.  It's not my job or 82's or
       Iowa's or Boris' or Dave's job to help any one team.  It's our
       job to protect this league.  This league once had 20 teams and
       we've had to consolidate twice almost 3 times.  Teams that are
       devastated by neglect or foolishness or taking too many chances
       with prospects or distant picks are hard to get new people
       interested in and even when people are, it takes a long time to
       build it into a contender.  We have had a lot of turnover in
       this league, and they aren't necessarily people who were
       quitters or bad owners, but people with jobs and families and
       health issues and other interests who had to give up their
       teams.  As one of the guys that has to go out and find new
       owners, I just feel that trading picks too far into the future
       isn't in the best interest of the league.  Obviously there are
       some long time owners who've witnessed what I'm saying who agree
       with me.
       I see no real issue with guys trading next year's picks to
       better their teams.  I've done so myself, but not until we're
       into the season.  And advertising to acquire next year's picks
       to better NEXT year's team smacks of tanking.  Sorry.

       If u think that I have ever tanked a team on purpose. Then I
       shouldn't be in the league and I will run this yer out then give
       up my team   That will give u a year to get someone new. I have
       never asked for favors to help my team
