BOISE-- This probably goes without saying, but MuffMan1977 has a lot to say about ethics.
A member of the Fantasy Football Alliance, Amanda 3-0 Bennet(t) recently received a text message asking if she would be interested in acquiring TE Antonio Gates for TE Kellen Winslow. 3-0, knowing MuffMan to be wily, began to investigate. When asked about MuffMan's character, an anonymous writer said, "I don't know him very well. I would say he was forgetful more than anything. He was always leaving work on the printer."
Muffman, upon being asked about his interest in Winslow, said, "I'm doing you a favor by offering a favor. You have no tight ends."
Muffman, bestower of favors, Muffman, most benevolent of them all.
Off the record, MuffMan had more to say."Plus," he added, " "Kellen fills out his uniform nicely."
Why was Muffman so concerned about his tight end? Wasn't he more concerned about the whereabouts of NumberThreePick Darren Sproles? After some waterboarding, some interesting new information came to light. "I don't want [Winslow]. I can't cut gates. I need someone I can cut."
Muffman, shepherd of 3-0's hopes, dreams and fantasy football aspirations, cannot (incidentally. INCIDENTALLY) cut Antonio Gates. 3-0 pointed out, quite rightly, that Muffman apparently did have something to gain from the situation. Muffman responded, "We're helping each other, which is the point of a trade. Win win. It's fine, I'll keep Gates, you keep Winslow."
3-0, sensing a crisis situation, tried to assauge Muffman by telling him to propose the trade anyway. "Too late," he texted. "Winslow will be good for you." See also: "I gave you a chance. you tried to spin it so that you were doing me a favor for giving you a good tight end for your really bad tight end." Notice Muffman turning on dreamboat Kellen Winslow and on his friend and protectee, 3-0.
This, from the very same person who claimed that using any sort of handout with projected fantasy statistics is cheating. In fact, The Muffman argued that using projected stats (and perhaps the internet in general?) is "essentially the same thing"as using a word engine in online scrabble.
How will this situation play out? To be determined. According to Muffman, "There are eight other managers, someone else will want him." Alas, will these cheaters want him? What if these cheaters all refused to trade for Gates, thus destining him Muffman's tightend forever?
And what about 3-0? She feared Muffman would be icy forever.
But of course, there's always more snake oil to sell.
"Do you have any running backs you are willing to trade for Antonio Gates?" -Muffman, circa five minutes ago.
