Just to be clear, You think Frank and I reached out to Laura to keep her in the league by giving her another team to manage? Nope not at all. My assumption without knowing because I'm not hearing both sides is that it works out better for Laura to run a team that's less work to be managed compared to a rebuild that's going to take a lot of time. Which is why it works out good for both of you and which is why I think Frank agreed to it. Which all makes sense. But I think that should be the reason that's given if that is the case. Because I don't think it's performance-based that she gets the Giants. So I'm not sure exactly what it is if you want to enlighten me?

Ok I’m glad we were able to clear that up because that definitely was not what happened. It was pretty simple. I want a rebuild a team from ground up after 9 years with one squad and with talks about possibly allowing this during the season peaked my interest. Reached out to Frank…then began to look at possible teams that fit that criteria Why did I reach out to Laura: 1. Knew I would hear a response one way or another. Not everyone returns PMs 2. Bottom 5 roster If I wasnt getting a complete rebuild, I would never give up the Giants. Just want something new. That is it I really hope you can believe me that, this was all my reasoning. Nothing more

It all makes sense why you wanted to come to the Texans. And I think you'll do a great job and it's a great fit for you to rebuild that franchise that needs it. I'm not opposed to that. Yes will it make it more difficult for me of course. But that's the competitive nature of what we're doing I get it. It's the other half that I have a hard time with understanding why Laura earned and why she wants to switch.

Why Laura earned the Giants….I never thought it as earned or deserved….selfishly the Roster fit what I was hoping to acquire. It was because the Texans were a bottom 5 roster that I was after. The specific reasons as to my Laura said yes. She can explain when we agree on a rule that will allow this and future organization transactions to occur.

She can explain when we agree on a rule that will allow this and future organization transactions to occur. I think we just have different viewpoints on it. I see it as her having a bottom five roster shouldn't give her the opportunity to now compete for a championship for the next couple years with a top end roster. I mean there's one thing to having a struggling team but you're around. We went multiple years of invalid lineups, invalid rosters and no activity. Yes not the worst in the league but it happened. I'm not as willing to forget that as I think some other people may and that's fine.

I'm not as willing to forget that as I think some other people may and that's fine. Yes we will have to agree to disagree on this one. Where I am at, and I think most of the league is at, is that we like the idea of Switching Organizations after a decade with one roster. I am just basing that off of the comments and the people I’ve spoken with on the chat. But we all want rules in place that make it open and fair for others in the years to come. That is where I’d love to focus on. Blaine and frank got us going down that path with some ideas. Dan first mentioned a trade ban. Which I think is a great piece in any final rule. Let’s put our focus on finding a simple, fair, transparent structure. One team deserving of a roster could be yours or others reasoning to Veto. That is everyone’s right to cast the vote how they want. But lets first get the rule up and running and not letting our reasoning for a Veto stop us from agreeing to a Good Rule.

I have no problem with team switching. I originally suggested the rule how could I not be okay with it. The process is what my issue is.
