Because you're a prick? Or maybe you just didn't understand or forgot what I actually said? I don't presume to know what goes on in your head, and I'm not willing to make baseless accusations.

Also, I know what the handbook said, but even mission rules can override it. For example, I didn't have to be back to my appt until 1030 pm. What does the handbook have to say about that?

Can you not read? See all my previous posts in this thread.

but they still do a lot of it during their mission.

"a lot" is pretty subjective. I didn't do a lot of community service relative to the amount of proselytizing I did, and I imagine that's the case for a VAST MAJORITY (where have I read that before?) of missionaries. As per the white handbook- the set of rules for missionaries ok'd by the church leadership, also known as the "living prophets"- community service is not supposed to be a priority.

Yes, missionaries do a lot more proselytizing, that's why they go on missions - I'm not arguing that. However, I'm sure most missionaries also do a vast amount of service work for either their wards, members, inactive members, non-members, the community, etc, that add up after 2 years.

THERE ARE ****ING EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, Dave, I came down a bit hard. Forgive me, but you took a rather harsh tone with those offended by missionaries. You seemed to be asking for the empathy you weren't willing to extend to others, and doing so under false pretenses. If you were here now, I'd give you a big hug (if you'd allow me to).
 
You guys are ruining a perfectly good thread. Take it somewhere else.

It will be interesting to see what people do with Chris Johnson this year. Take him early and hope his holdout doesn't last? Pass him up and be the fool that didn't take him?

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be disagreeing with. I did more service as a missionary than I have since the end of my mission. I'm a run-of-the-mill selfish jackass. Duh.

Yep, these are definitely the type of threads that make me miss being a mod, wait...

As to CJ, I'm not considering him until the 2nd round. His probable lack of conditioning scares the hell out of me. He could easily pull a hammy in the 1st quarter of the season (assuming he plays). Much safer options that I prefer in the 1st round.
 
Also, just as a reminder to those in the league: Draft is tomorrow (Sunday) at 7:00 pm PDT. If you can't make it, make sure to pre-rank.

BTW, stay safe out there in NJ, salmon...looks like it's about to get brutal for the northeast.

Thanks bro. My basement was leaking from a couple windows but the French drain and sump pump did wonders. Thank God my power didn't go out because we had about 10 inches of rain. That doesn't sound insane but typically there's a 10:1 ratio of snow to rain so that's like getting about 100 inches (8.33 feet) of snow, though the density of the snow is what matters and this varies a decent amount. Anyway, the worst is yet to come for some people (not myself), not because the storm's still passing, but because some of the rivers are not going to crest til tomorrow. It's going to get very, VERY ugly for many, many heavily populated towns. I've seen pics where the water level has already consumed cars whole and yet it's still going to get much worse.

Also, what made this so bad was that we had already had a ton of rain this month. After yesterday, we broke the all-time record for rainfall in August. So the ground was just so saturated before the storm even began.

Psyched for this draft tonight. Though it cuts into my Curb and Entourage enjoyment.

Draft tonight, I watched the ESPN draft special and took notes, don't know how much good it will do me
 
Why does my team name appear not as it should? Change that **** cali before I frag you.

Edit: Nevermind, my team's still there. Who in the hell is this ***** Heidi?
 
I thought I had a pretty good draft

Qb- Brady, Romo
RB- A. Peterson, A. Bradshaw, M. Tolbert, R. Brown, D. Carter
Wr- Welker, Ochocinco, P. Burress, R. Williams, E. Saunders
Te- none yet
K- none yet
D- Philadelphia, Ny Giants

My plan going in was to take a QB in the later rounds, it just so happened that both Brady & Romo fell to me in the late 2nd and 4th rounds. I was happy to land both Philly and G-Men defense.

I have a lot relying on the Pats passing game- QB(though i have romo as a backup), starting two WR's. So hopefully they don't fail me.

At the end I was thinking about sleeper Rb's & Wr's and just didn't draft a TE or a K. I'll have to add them later.
 
I was very disappointed in myself. I kind of forgot to get a 3rd rb and ended up with **** there.
 
Vick
Gore, Deangelo, Hightower, Halu, Spiller, Woodhead
Boldin, Harvin, Amendola, Antonio Brown
Gates
Henery
Pitt

If Vick and Gates can stay healthy, my team should be very strong. Boldin and Harvin should be very, very big parts of their offense yet can't be singularly focused on by defenses because of their stellar running back play. Amendola is a great backup/3rd wr because he'll get a ton of catches (I'd guess 93 if he stays healthy) and Brown could supplant Ward by the end of the season he's doing so well in camp. Gore and Williams aren't sexy (though I predict Williams will be a top 8 fantasy back by year end) but if healthy, they're grinders and behind them I have a lot of depth. Henery will get most of what Vick doesn't and I'd be surprised if he's not a top seven or eight kicker by the end of the year. He could be #1. Basically, since this draft is free, I wanted to go for the home runs with Vick, Gates and Pitt's D and hope that consistent, high volume play around them comes in week to week.
