Fantasy Football Interlude

I'm in several fantasy football leagues and before the betting for this week gets underway I have to share this gem of an exchange I had earlier today.

For the draft in this league several guys got together at Mr. Pig's house.  I knew all the guys there except for one.  This league starts one tight end and no flex.  I drafted in the 10th spot, out of 12, and before I made my 5th round pick I checked spots 11 and 12 to see if they had QBs or TEs.  They had Jimmy Graham and Gronkowski, and the 12 spot had Cam Newton.  The two guys I wanted were Matt  Ryan and Aaron Hernandez.  No-brainer right?  Take Ryan and Hernandez will be there on the comeback.  So I take Matt Ryan.  Pick 11 conceded that he would have most definitely taken him, so I thought I was about to win the league right there with a stud TE.  Then 12 spot picks Hernandez!  And he already has the #1 TE - Gronk.  There is no way for him to play these two guys together, ever.

So, today, I offer Percy Harvin for Aaron Hernandez.  He doesn't decline or officially counter-offer, but instead sends me a message that says "I'll trade Hernandez for MJD."  Since he didn't counter, and thus decline, my offer and it's still sitting there, I know he's considering my Harvin offer.  I'm going to do a little bullying and threaten to pull my offer to try and force him into action.  My response is here:

Subject: Clown Trade, Bro

Are you insane dude?  Your backup tight end for my #1 running back.  You are being unreasonable and I no longer have interest in Hernandez if you are going to bring that bush league b.s. to the bargaining table.  If you let Hernandez sit on your bench you are not maximizing the potential of your team and hurting only yourself.  I offered you a nice WR1 who has great upside.  If you don't like Percy Harvin then we're not doing business.  I could have low-balled you and offered you some garbage trade but I had enough respect for you to make a serious offer.  You know I want Hernandez but I'm not so attached to obtaining him that I'm going to hurt my team.  If you get a better offer take it because Harvin is as far as I'll go, and I think Harvin is more than you'll get anywhere else because the trade today involving Bradshaw and Lafell is like the first trade, maybe ever, in this league.  Accept my offer within the two days it's available or feel free to decline it, but you should know that it's the only one I'm offering and this conversation is over.    

Update - next day
He doesn't reply but instead offers me a trade with Hernandez for MJD and the message says "I think it's a fair trade Hernandez will be top 2 or 3 TE."  MJD led the league in rushing last year and he's offering me his backup TE.  He is obviously a fucking moron.  I won't in any way be responding to him.  He still hasn't officially declined Hernandez for Harvin.
