Do I need to give this owner the flick? This is the reason I hate giving noobs first shots in my leagues
Your call.
He's gone all season long without a punter even though multiple attempts have been made to make sure he was aware. He is still logging in every day so I have to believe this is intentional.
My opinion is an owner actively doing things like this is worse than an AI run team.
I would say anyone who's logging in, and not responding to a commish's messages, no matter the reason, get's the boot. (Unless we're close to going under 15... but we look OK right now).
