At the center of controversy of 80% of trades you will find the MMCB. At draft day they moved what "8 out of 12 league members would have picked #1 over all " (Source anonymous) .The leagued cried for their head "they should be voted out" "they could have got more" "JD has the best team in the league" "worst trade since Murphy" I can go on but you get the idea. To everyone's surprise the MMCB started off 3-0 behind the the strong core of Aaron Rodgers, Rob Gronkowski, Emmanuel Sanders, and the emergence of players like Tyrod Taylor, and Chris Johnson put them in the conversation of championship caliber.
Making their first trade of the season and certainty not last, the MMCB made a trade with the rookies sending Andre Johnson and Rashad Jennings, in return they would receive Doug Baldwin. A small move they did not upset he core players, just a minor tweak. Looking at the trade now MMCB still hold both players where the rookies cut Andre Johnson and hardly ever use Jennings. Vereen still serves as a Flex/bye week filler as does Baldwin.
Next the MMCB had to address their growing weakness at RB, so they contacted an old friend in Chris Ivory. After a few days of going back and forth with Vonteego Cross, both teams came to terms and decided to swap Eric Decker, Collin Kaepernick, and Luke Kuechly, in exchange for Chris Ivory, Nick the league bitch Foles and Paul Posluszny. Looking at the trade now zero of those players are currently on MMCB, where Vonteego Cross still has Decker and Kuechly. Ivory served hes need to help stabilize they roster RB needs but would soon be shipped out. Posluszny cut, Foles traded, Ivory traded.
After these two traded the MMCB started to lose steam and had to shake up the roster, the team was still scoring between 150-160 per week but wasn't getting the job done. One of the owners wasn't to happy!! On going talks with Hail Mary to the Kings for about 3 days about a much coveted player going on a historic streak of 30 Pts per game was wanted BAD!!! He was ready to go all in and send what ever he had to to get this guy. The other half wanted no part of this "if you think it will make the team better by all means go for it" And that's all he needed =).
Who would have thought that the MMCB could be at the center of ANOTHER mind boggling trade. This time only one person was on the side of MMCB "We were wrong about the Luck trade we could be wrong about this one too" (Anonymous) " You could have got more" "you got Raped" is still a popular one. But in reality could they have??? Everyone claims that a team could have got more but I will give an example later where that was proven false.(1) The MMCB sent the core of Rob Gronkowski (a guy they spoke so highly at the start of the year) Emmanuel Sanders (Peyton Manning's go to guy) Nick the bitch Foles, and Joseph Randle in exchange for arguably the leagues best keeper and maybe #1 overall RB, Matt "bye week filler" Cassel, Brandon Lafell and Ryan Matthews. What were they thinking on this!!!!
(My Belief) The Broncos will look to run the ball more, resulting in a dip in production from the already dreadful passing game of Peyton Manning and a guy who falls off at the end of the season. Gronkowski will always be gronk, but consistency wont be there, much like the saints of the past, the Patriots just have to many mouths to feed, one day they can pound the ball into the ground with Blount or Lewis, the next week they might just want go pass happy with Gronk, Lafell, Edelman, and little Amandola. Foles is ehh he was irrelevant, and Randle I felt he was going to lose his job. Lone and behold he did. Davonta Freeman not only has keeper appeal but is the main weapon in that offense and will continue to be as long as Julio Jones is being double teamed. Cassel = Foles, Matthews is the wild card, this year he goes from good game to bad game, his good games are when he is given the opportunity to play, his bad is when Demarco is being fed just because. Ryan Matthews is the best weapon on the Eagles going forward and I see Chip getting him more involved. Lafell was just gravy added, I love having a weapon in the Patriots offense.
The fantasy gods are looking over the MMCB, after agreeing to a trade with the Romosexuals, they agreed on sending Aaron Rodgers, Vereen and CJ2K in exchange for Arian Foster, and Tony Romo. The MMCB loved it, they would have to tank a few games too wait for Romo but to hold the fort down Foster would add they extra 20 pts a game to a team that needed it. The league wasn't happy with us finding a loophole, so they thought they were slick and did the trade. After hours of arguing their point, the league was still in a uproar. The trade committee VETOED the deal and that was that. A few hours later I re-proposed the trade to the Romosexualls. It sat in the cue for about 45 min, then i withdrew it. I thought to my self id rather wait till Monday. Last 2 min of the game, Foster goes down and hes out for the season. Blessing in disguise, the MMCB loved it.
Finally, to address the glaring hole at WR, MMCB go out and get their guy!! MMCB and DTA agree on sending a Packer to a Packer fan. Randall Cobb for Chris Ivory and Tavon Austin. This trade doesn't need much explanation, DTA needed RB help and MMCB needed a WR. Trade makes sense for both teams. CJ2K has proven to be legit so sending out a Flex guy in Ivory made sense to get a WR2 in Cobb, double points for tds with the combo of AR and RC.
(1) Some backlash prior to the trade again, "I could of got more" "I'm selling Rodgers to cheap" " I should be getting Robinson or Calvin back". So MMCB did something they don't normally do, they took the advice of the people and put him back on the trade block. Taking offers for about 4 days, MMCB started to ask for more, they contacted at least 6-7 teams, not a deal was to be made. Most responses were ''were under valuing the players we want' "were asking for to much" "my QB's are better or not that much worse" one team came pretty close but the extra piece they wanted didnt bode well for MMCB so they decided to keep him for a playoff push. Moral of the story "You have to run your own team. I try not to listen to the peanut gallery. There is a reason why everyone does a trade. Its to make their team better in how they perceive it" (anonymous). Couldn't have said it better my self!!!!!
Never count out the MMCB, each year they makes trades that make people wonder WTF were they thinking, and each time it ends up working out.They may not watch sports, but who needs to watch sports when the FF gods are looking over them!!!
