Meanwhile, you shouldn't be trading with inactive owners - even ones who've somehow been "following the league" without logging in for months - as it's always a recipe for trouble. As is making the same trade after it's been vetoed.

Add Yao Ming to my growing list of players I will never draft because injury. My list includes: Yao Ming Marcus Camby Tracy McGrady Baron Davis Peja Ron Artest Even if these guys have 3 or 4 straight healthy, awesome seasons the next few years, I will never draft them again.
I forgot to check my fantasy roster, forgot to start AI, and only lead Shake 5-4. One night after getting AI back in the line up, I'm 8-1. The balance has been restored.

Next time I want in, and I want in on the entire draft. I blame Master Shake for keeping me preoccupied with Dallas Cowboys discussion while the first 5 rounds were started.
