Let me start off by saying that it should be clear by now that I really do like Foot. I think he brings a very unique view to fantasy and it's good for him to keep us more "by the book" guys on our toes, but since I do the recaps each week, it's probably a lot easier for me to remember some details about last season and I want you guys to remember some of the discussion that went on and some facts from last season. I went back and checked their posts from the last couple of years, as both OBX and Foot have been in the B league the last two years.

Two years ago OBX posted 106 times to the comment board which is a lot and he went down to 59 last year, but as we discussed before, all of the chatter was way down in the B league last year (possibly because Chef and Milk were gone), but 59 is still a respectable number. OBX had no incidents of starting players on bye or improper lineups.

Two years ago Foot posted 85 times to the comment board, also a lot, but last year he had 10 posts all year!! Yes I had to double check. Also, in Week 4 he started Marcus Mariota who was on bye, in week 7 he started Dion Lewis who was inactive, and in week 9 he started Larry Fitzgerald who was on bye. The discussion listed below took place after doing the week 9 recap because I noticed that Foot left Larry Fitzgerald in his lineup who was on bye that week. The last reply in this mini-thread (listed below) was by Foot on November 14th taken from the main MBBRL page. Foot posted 2 times on that same day on the Barbarians message board and then didn't post again the rest of the year.

Now this only takes into account posts on the B league discussion board as I checked the main MBBRL thread and both only had a few posts to it during the season. This doesn't take into account how active they might have been in other leagues or sports or threads or their contribution to the MBBRL as a whole. Do what you must with this information, but I just wanted everybody to have it since it's really hard to remember things from last year.

Okay has anybody heard anything from Foot lately? When I was doing the recap of last week I noticed that Foot had Larry Fitzgerald in his lineup who was on bye and right now he has Dion Lewis (IR), T.Y. Hilton (bye), and Adam Vinatieri (bye) in his lineup.

He was just on a day or two ago asking advice on an IDP trade question. Noticed that myself, he's been a little lax on his lineups, nit typical for Footy

He also left Mariota in on bye in Week 4.

One week there Micro went with CJ2K on bye and no K, but he's been pretty active otherwise. (No posting, though, of course.)

Our history is important and I think we need to keep as many original members as possible, but if he is not setting his lineup.....

He deserves oblivion. You simply cannot have an inactive player in a highly competitive league. It is not fair.

Yeah, the B league is falling apart with Foot doing whatever he's doing, Micro getting hammered..there may not be any concern for any active barbarians facing oblivion

Also, there is some precedent here as Foot went completely AWOL from baseball MBBRL at about midseason he year he played there.

Hey guys, don't worry about The Foot. I have had a bouncy year this year but I don't plan on ever going anywhere. You guys are all very important to me, I'll pick it up.

That is a doozie.

Seems like an awful lot to miss, while expressing love for this league. I knew he was slack on trade offers, but geesh. I don't get how you can ever miss out on starting your lineup, let alone three different weeks.

Maybe this decision should be left to the Barbarians. I hate to say he deserves oblivion, but that's more than a blip on multiple weeks.

I know that Sam, Joe, Lefty and a few others already know about the fantasypros.com website, but I haven't seen anybody mention one of the coolest aspects of the site. And no I'm not a paid spokesman for them, but really some of us should be as much as we mention them. Yes the lightning speed mock drafts and cheat sheets are fantastic especially since you can enter keepers, but the other thing that is really awesome is the draft assistant. Especially when you are doing slow drafts not online like the suicide and coma drafts. You can just open the draft assistant and manually enter each pick as you go. You can enter the scoring of your individual league (I usually just change it to 6 points for quarterback touchdowns) and it will keep track of who's been drafted and give you the entire draft board with the click of a button without having to enter it yourself into Excel or look back to previous posts. Plus it gives you the best available players (you can create your own cheatsheet for this or use theirs), and it will even give you the percentage chance that a player will be picked before it's your turn to pick again. Now obviously it's not foolproof, but it really is a great tool. I've used it every year we've done the suicide draft and it makes things so much easier. Once you start doing online drafts, you can link it with ESPN, CBS, Yahoo and several other sites and you can actually use it while you draft. For me it's a bit too much information while there's a running clock, but for other people it's a nice little feature to have access to. This year I know they went up in price, but I just created a new email account and did the $10.00 fanduel deposit. As long as it's a new fanduel account, they will give you a pro membership for just the $10.00 deposit.

Never tried the draft assistant, but I do check their ADP list.

I love the ADP on that site. I have also used the WSID a couple times when I have 2 people I want. Very useful site.
