[USML Announce] Buddha

[Blocker, Mark B.]

See, Buddha, this is what I was talking about....and notice the transparent
sucking-up by mentioning his lone, nose-holding connection to Favre.  You
will see lots of this sort of disingenuous talk from Winick as the season
starts getting closer, except it will relate to baseball....

Our league members worry about all this, so they have for years been
planting false rumors that I am not willing to trade my players.  This is
false.  The Bombers are always open to trades and working the phones,
especially with fellow Packer fans.  

Buddha,
 
A full report on the predilictions of league members will follow shortly.
But this little missive by Mark Blocker must be addressed immediately.  It
is entirely accurate that Mark is always willing to trade his players.
Unfortunately, his trade inquiries are typically along the lines of "I'll
trade you Adam Riggs, Robert Person and Scott Schoenweiss for Alfonso
Soriano."  Sure, Mark will occasionally make a silly trade, like Ichiro for
a bum like Gil Meche, but you'll find those occasions to be incredibly rare.
I believe it is Andy Klein who summed up Mr. Blocker's trading philosophy as
follows:  "If its a fair deal - I'm not interested."
 
More to follow.

own Favre in both of my fantasy football leagues)
