XDA Fantasy Football 08!! - Off-topic

Hello Everyone!
I've taken the liberty of creating a Fantasy Football (NFL) league for XDA this year since I have not seen one at all and I thought what the heck, why not make one.
The league is with Yahoo! and it is a custom league. If you join you can see all the rule (points, playoff dates etc.) It is all very fair and the rules make for a great league and a lot of fun too.
The Live Online Draft is August 4th 2008 at 9:00 PM EST. I know the people on this site are all over the world, so If you really to join but the time is a bad time, let me know and I can talk to other people in the league to work out a better time.
If you would like to join, click the link below. If you have any questions PM me or send me an e-mail [email protected].
The MAX players is 16 so HURRY UP. KICKOFF FOR THE NFL SEASON IS SEP. 4th!!!

yes...major league baseball...since this is the off topic forum, and spring exhibition games are just days away!
I invite all baseball fans to talk about their teams, likes, dislikes, views on specific players
..as everyon can see from my avatar, I am an AVID yankee fan, and am fairly confident 2009 = 27
even if we 'bought' our team, its the yankees being the yankees, hate it or love it (i love it)
and NO I am not a fan because of there extensive pay roll or all-star lineup
Boooooooo! Orioles!

You are hereby expelled from Red Sox Nation and have 30 days to move out of R I .
Even with your " bought team ", I will make some predictions. Burnett will turn into the Burnett the Jays wasted millions on. Sabathia will wilt under the pressure and media glare of New York ( ala Randy Johnson ), Hal and Hank are just idiots and will never measure up to Dad, No matter how much money they spend.
Joba will never live up to the hype, too much too soon. Alex will be dogged and distracted all year by steroids and Madonna. We will see how Teixeira plays now that he is a rich man, set for life and really has everything to prove, but nothing to play for anymore. Posada is done, Matsui is done. Damon is done.
And Girardi won't be able to keep the circus together, like Torre did.
Watching the RED SOX in the World Series will be tough for N.Y. but hey they must be getting used to it by now. Go Sox

*tear*
nothing can be said on burnette and sabathia, except that ..YOUR WRONG haha...we will have to wait until the season begins, however, Burnette will be getting better run support which will lead to more wins, giving him better confidence, and check his stats, last year, 35 games 231SO 86BB, not so shabby, that 18w 10L will translate to 21-9, and sabathia, im going to say 23w - 7L
damon, done. this is true, cabrera will step up his season, if he doesnt then he goes bye bye, and he wants to stay in NY.
Matsui is still a quality hitter, if we already have a DH he will be a valuable trade option, perhaps up the bullpen. Joba has pretty much already proven himself. Phil Hughes, should take his job as set up man, unless there is a injury to the starting rotation. and Giradi has already done a hell of a job last season with the mess he was brought into
hank + hals dicks will never be as big as Georgey boy, this is true
and p.s I excommunicated myself from R.S nation a long time ago...born a yankee fan
..anything i miss lol

GAME OF THRONES fans here?

My new favorite show, and no, haven't read the books yet, so please keep spoilers to what we've seen over 9 episodes, with the finale this Sunday.
Anyway, thought I'd start off with a bang. If you know who died in the last episode, witness the greatest fanboy rage display of all time and the coining of one or more new memes/catchprases.
Warning! Foul, racial language, and also IMO painfully funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owf6D2vfZqM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
XD
Who's looking forward to Sunday?
I usually watch the latest episode on Monday night, along with Treme. It's my second favourite night of the week after Friday!
Game of Thrones didn't really grab me at first but i'm certainly hooked now. I'm sure as good as it is that it loses a lot in translation from the books though.
Game of thrones +1
Hell yeah luv that show
Ok, I have downloaded almost every single episode, but I was too stuck at studying to watch it. After seeing all these reviews, I definitely have to watch.
And for the benefits of out-dated people like me, no spoilers please.

Great Series. HBO kills the networks. True Blood, Curb Your Enthusiasm............
By far my favorite show of all time. After the season finale tonight I will be picking up the books and hopefully finish them before the second season starts.
Noooooo. No spoilers here, but all I'ma say is, they do a good job of gainin' hate for the Lannisters. Grrr, go Stark!
THE KING IN THE NORTH!
Wow. What a finale. Can we time travel to 2012 Spring already please? I am tempted to say much more but for now I'll leave it at this: must. read. books. now.
I haven't been this amped for a new season since 24.
Best death of the season was definitely the golden crown.
My stepdad just bought me the 4-book paperback box set for a present. He's so cool. Now I'm racing people to be ready for book 5 which gets released in a few weeks. Damn, I hope it doesn't ruin watching the series..."you die, and you, and you.." ;-)
Love this show!! so sad the season just ended, cant believe we have to wait a year for season 2

Anybody on this Forum in the Military?

Like the title states... I'm pre-enlisting into the Marine Corps next summer, and I've recently gotten into XDA. I figured I'd try to find anyone else on this Forum in/joining the Military.
I almost signed up to the British Army when i was 16 and have always regretted not following through with it. In my work i have a lot of colleagues who are ex-military and they're all great guys. Every one of them deserve the utmost respect for serving their country.
If it's what you want to do, don't let anything stand in your way! Keep us updated with your news and hopefully in future you can tell us stories about your Boot-Camp and Tours of duty!
I'm also in the process of joining the USMC. I'm just waiting for my backround check to come in but its been two months already .. I think its because I had to put in a waiver but hopefully my waivers go thru ..

Waaay too old now!
I'm sitting next to a retired Ghurka atm and those guys are fearless. Most of them serve for 20 years or more and have seen combat all over the world. One of them, who is a serving soldier, is currently under investigation for cutting the head off a Taliban fighter.
Who needs guns!
Edit: I'm 'Thanking' everyone in this thread who is serving or joining up. It's the least a civvy could do!
I was in the USAF, 4 years, best experience of my life.

When the military are used to police the civilians in their own country you know that something is wrong! Any soldier that raises a weapon to one of their own deserves everything that IS coming to them!
Good luck my friend. The people will always triumph in the end, be patient!
I deeply believe in Karma. Not as some supernatural, occult force...just that everyone has everything that's coming to them! Live your life as a good person and good things will come your way. Live your life as an evil bastard and that's how your life will end.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. What goes around, comes around. Pick your metaphor! The good will out...

There's no politicaling going on around here! So how's everyone finding their HTC, Widows Mobile phone anyway.....?
Edit: It's a shame that there have to be divisions, borders, territory, politics in real life. We are all one race and we all share the same planet. XDA is my favourite site because the things that bring us together knows no boundaries. I now have friends all over the world, all good people, and like the other 99% of the worlds population we all want the same thing! A long and fruitful life and good health for ourselves, our friends and our families.
In a forum of 4 million members i would say that XDA OT is the place to come to find friendship, understanding, respect, fun, sadness, joy, and laughter. We have member aged from 14 years to 60 years, from every walk of life, from every nation. We don't fight, we don't hate...we laugh, we share sorrow and we spread happiness. I would be a lesser person if not for the people i surround myself with here. I learn with these people, i share with these people...these people are my family!*
*The mods are especially awesome!
I was born in the military. My mom was in the Army and had me right before her Unit was deployed to Grenada or Panama or some place back then. She had the choice of signing me over to the custody of the US or get out of the military. My mom was born in the military, too. On one of the Naval bases in Hawaii. My grandpa was in the Marines. I got accepted in high school but backed out when a mess of things happened and none of my family wanted me to enlist, but rather go in after collage. Got rejected when I was 23 for enlistment and again when I was 25. Too much trouble making when I was a kid. Maybe we'll get in another world war and open the draft again. I'll join then, they won't reject me then.

You literally just pick players that you think are going to do good during this upcoming season. Each week you face off against somebody, and depending on injuries, or bad performances, or ect. You edit your team with your bench players, make changes, add free agents.

I'd do $5, I'm sure you could get 20 people to pitch in just $5
Make the money optional...you wouldn't have to redo it..just keep track of "donations" in the OP. If you don't put in, you can't win the pot.
And I would be in for $5 too.
