Wow, some unexpected drama on the league chat today. Seems to be a lot of that going around these days...
Anyway, first off, calling our league commish a snake or insinuating he's a cheater or protecting a GM is hogwash, horsepucky, bullcrap and other non-swear swear words. If you have qualms with Gustoon, I say good bye and good riddance. Or as Willie Wonka put it
"Good Day Sir! you lose! I said good day!"
Second, I like HKP from what I know of him, but that doesn't mean I always agree with his trade offers. For example, he thinks my QB is trash and tries to offer me new QBs every year. I like my QB and think he's a Hall of Famer, so we agree to disagree.
What Villager missed in this, and most of HKPs deals, is that 5th rounder. That's the golden ticket. The 3rd and 4ths can be risky and hurt cap. That 5th rounder could boom and then either he or the starter he replaces is on the trade block. HKP will snag up lots of 5th rounders, turn them into a handful of quality players to trade for better picks, and then turn them all into a high 1st rounder or two to keep his franchise humming.
I really don't know how he does it. But I don't care that he does.
When I have rebuilt teams from scratch and basically had a fire sale, I still never got as much out of them as HKP can.
So, anyway, hope everyone is doing well these days. Cheers.
