A big trade went down in the Brown League, I hope you are all were sitting down when you read about it.
daUCBcat gave up Tim Couch , Brian Griese and Tim Biakiabutuka to Connor's Dawg Pen for Fred Taylor and Keyshawn Johnson.
Felix Theonugraha the owner of da UCBcat wins the NGFFL "Golden Fleece" award for 1999. I read the comments on the message board from Ernest Jackson, the owner of Connor's, explaining his rational behind this trade.
WAKE UP Ernest, you made a BAD trade! Keeping 3 qb's in a 5 player keeper is not a wise move. Ernest has Charlie Batch who should be a cabable fantasy QB next season and beyond! Fred Taylor has had a rough season but he still will be a top ten pick next year. I'd take my chances on Taylor over Timmy B. any day!!! Keyshawn will have Vinny back next so he wil be a top 30 pick next season.

Neither of these teams are in the hunt this year so I do not think any collusion went on here. I think by the comments Ernest made, a trade like this should not even be considered to be voided. Felix got a nice Christmas present early!

In the Rooney League,
Molino FFL traded Jim Harbaugh to Four Horsmen for Bubby Brister
Neither is a fantasy force and both are lucky to be getting a paycheck from the NFL.

In the Rooney League, the same two owners completed another deal
Molino FFL traded Eric "Zeigler" Zeier and Richard Huntleyto Four Horsmen for Brian Grieseand 6 FA dollars.
Bottom line, Molino is desperate for a QB! However, Griese may not help much until he returns from an injury.

Finally in the Brown League,
daUCBcat traded Jets defense to Atlanta Jackhammers for Denver defense
Edge goes to the Jackhammers for getting rid of the team with psycho Bill Romanowski!

In the Halas League,
Weapons of Love traded Todd Peterson to Brigantine 69ers for Richie Cunningham
Nothing to say on trades involving kickers!!!

In the Halas League,
Wayne Fontes traded Brett Favre and Lamont Warren to Kiwi Air for Drew Bledsoe and James Stewart
If Fred Taylor keeps up the Isaac Bruce impersonation this year with his hammy, this trade will benefit Kiwi Air. James Stewart is currently #2 in rushing yards in the AFC and he will produce as long as Taylor is out. Bledsoe is having a great year with Terry Glenn healthy and at this point is very close to Brett Favre. Bledsoe has 1261 yards and 6 td's in 4 games while Favre has 925 yards and 5 td's in 3 games.
I give the edge to Wayne Fontes on this trade only because of the status of Fred Taylor.

In the Rooney League,
The Titan Traders traded Byron Hanspard and E.G. Green to Class Dismissed for Jamal Anderson, Thurman Thomas and 7 FA$.
The trade between Titan Traders and Class Dismissed was a classic example of what us fantasy baseball players call a "dump trade". Todd Zola the owner of Class Dismissed and I are in a fantasy baseball league called Harry Carey Memorial League(yours truely is the proud 1999 Champ) so he knows what I am talking about. Quite simply, it is a case of one team building for the future (Traders) and the other making an all out run this season. Steve knows he has little chance of success this year so he is trying to build for next year. In dynasty or keeper leagues, this can be a wise move to look at the future instead of sulking and doing nothing in a losing season. The trade helps both teams. one this year and the other for next season.

In the Halas League,
The Weapons of Love traded Mike Alstott, Keenan McCardell and Morten Andersen to Kiwi Air for Tony Martin, Dedric Ward, and John Kasay.
The trade was made before the injuries to Thurman Thomas and Fred Taylor, but even before these injuries this trade surprises me with Weapons of Love trading away depth at RB in Alstott while adding WR's to a more then adequate group of Reidel Anthony, Chris Calloway, Kevin Dyson, Mikhael Ricks and Bill Schroeder.
Kiwi Air helped his RB's by adding Alstott. The only sure RB he has is Dorsey Levens. Ricky Williams has a ankle injury and now a possible elbow problem. His other RB's are James Johnson, James Stewart, Charles Way and Jonh Avery. He did not get hurt trading away Martin and Ward. He added McCardell to these WR's, Derrick Alexander, Terance Mathis, Rob Moore and Andre Rison.
I refuse to comment on the kickers except it was one lefty for another lefty! (Remember, this was analyzed a couple of weeks after the trade)

In the Rooney League,
after Trent Green was lost for the season, Molino FFL went shopping for a QB. He was in desperate need of a backup for Steve Young. He went and traded with Boston Swarm Jim Harbaugh for Bobby Engram. This is a trade that should remind us all of those beer goggle, bar closing times when we looked at women differently...........
It wasn't pretty but it had to be done!
