To say this blogroom lately has been lacking drama excitment and more drama would be a gross understatement.
I sit back after a long- hot- hard day at work pour myself a cold frosty beverage and LMFAO.
Can it get any more fun than this I ask you? Lets take a look at the last few days in a nutshell -
SRM claimed that someone had anatomical male member envy and got his post deleted for challenging the PAC 10's biggest Homers - Now me I seen a little humor and tounge in cheek in the post -apparently some didn't.
B@O was roasted by me then he rosted Nique- sounds like a whole lot of roasting going on - I'm glad they both have a sense of humor and handled thier roasting with class and tact.
Ed Clinch claims Porn will lessen your manhood - Ron Jeremy disagrees- It's a double edged sword isn't it ?.
Speed Beagle claims the GGW Racing Team isn't allowed in Monoco - Damn and I love Playing cards.
Political talk is taking over the comment sections- you know who you are - I know theres an upcoming election and all but I try to keep politics to myself and who Im voting for-
Ok Im voting for Photogr there I said it and I feel better having said it.
The Reverend plays cards for money - man does that statement sound oxymoronic or what ? I really like the way this guy tells a story I felt as if I was across the table from him - I would have checked and waited to see what he raised then either reraised or went all in- Im good with two pair the full boat was the frosting on the cake.
The Dallas Cowboy Team page is sometimes the funniest page in all of this blogashere man It gets crazy in there.
All I have to say to you all is thanks for keeping me entertained and in some cases keeping it a little to real. ~ LMAO ...

Well today was the first day of kindergarden for my daughter and she was so excited- not because it was the first day of school for her- but because she found out that half of the Chinese Gymnastic team was going to be in her class !!
Hello ! ( Tapping microphone) Is this Thing On ?
The Argentina Team really dosn't understand basketball very well as shown in this picture they thought it was a love fest and you score points by the amount of hugs you give your opponent.
I can see the pain in Lebrons eyes. Ouch !
"Breaking News"
Usain Bolt was disqualified from any further Olympic games after they found he was using an illigal form of propulsion in breaking world records-Yes he was useing Flatus it is a form of nitrogen carbon dioxide and hydrogen oxygen and methane- yep he was running on #### power.
Cliff Lee gets the AL leading 18th win- the guy has a bionic arm-no really he does it was discoverd as he tried to pass through security and set every bell and whistle off in the airport -It took a security German Shepard to catch him after he took off running- hes listed in stable condition but thet say the dog will have a full recovery.
The Houston Texans full back Jameel Cook was caught with some ganja - it seems he was pulled over in his 2007 Mercedes because it didn't have a front license plate or registration sticker- Cook said that he was going to place the plate and sticker on his car-But he got high.
Disclaimer-I don't know for a fact if it is #### power that makes Usain Bolt run so fast nor do I know if the Argentinians really just like to hug people -Jameel Cook is inocent untill proven guilty in a court of law- Cliff Lee really does have a bionic arm.
Upshaw was currently the only player in Pro Football history to play in three Super Bowls with the same team in three different decades. In 1999, he was ranked number 62 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players.
He was an active member of the bargaining committee for the National Football League Players' Association (NFLPA) throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. He led the NFLPA in its unsuccessful strike in 1987 and through years of anti-trust litigation against the league, including a brief period in which the NFLPA became a professional association rather than a union, that ended with the union's acceptance of a salary cap in return for free agency and an enhanced share of league revenues for the union's members. Until his death, he was the Executive Director of the Association. In 2006 he alienated many retired players. 325 former AFL and NFL players receive minimal retirement benefits. When they attempted to have the league and the Association consider their plight, Upshaw responded: "I don't work for them. They are not union members and they have no vote."[citation needed] A campaign is currently being led by Ravens kicker Matt Stover to oust Gene Upshaw as head of the NFLPA. Kevin Mawae has denied reports of mass callings from players for Upshaw to step down.
Upshaw was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate fraternity established for African Americans.
In 2004, the NCAA Division II sports information directors awarded the first Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year award. It is presented each year during the weekend of the NCAA Division II Football Championship by the Manheim (Pa.) Touchdown Club.
On August 21, 2008, Gene Upshaw died. He had been fighting pancreatic cancer.[1]
My thoughts and prayers are with the Upshaw family and to all those who were fans and friends of Gene.
May he rest in peace

When I first started blogging I had no Idea it would last this long I thought it was something that would get old and I would get bored with it and then move on to something more exciting like online poker or competative drinking.
To my own disbelief I actually enjoyed writing about whatever was on my mind at the time- or whatever sport subject I felt like writing about or just doing the Monday Madness pics and recieving some great captions for the pictures.
I have been in the Fox Blog Room for over a year now and have made some really good freinds and have seen it all so to speak.
I have read some of the most brillient stories and some that were just gawd awfull - but thats what this place is about different styles and views-Which brings me to my points.
An Internet troll, or simply troll is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as FOXSportsBlogs or with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion .
Often, calling someone a troll makes assumptions about a writer's motives. Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities. Experienced participants in online forums know that the most effective way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore him or her, because responding tends to encourage trolls to continue disruptive posts — hence the often-seen warning: "Please do not feed the trolls" "PDNFTT"
Question ?
What exactly does said troll seem to gain from trying to disrupt a discussion and what exactly is their motavation?
Blogging code of conduct
I read Tim O'Reillys blogging code of conduct and thought it to be a great code to blog with.
The Blogger's Code of Conduct is a proposal by Tim O'Reilly for bloggers to enforce civility on their bloggers by being civil themselves and moderating comments on their blog. O'Reilly and others came up with a list of seven proposed ideas:
Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.
Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.
Consider eliminating anonymous comments.
Ignore the trolls.
Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.
If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.
Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person
I happen to blog for stress relief and found that there is evidence that it works.
Therapeutic Benefits of Blogging
Scientists have long known the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences. Blogs provide another convenient avenue for writing about personal experiences. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients and even speeds healing after surgery in other words blogging is actually good for you..
So Im just saying that blogging can be fun and enjoyed (as I do) and can be good for you while your doing it.
Hopefully we can all get along and keep writing and reading some really good thoughts from a great variety of bloggers and hopefully the trolls will get the message or get a life.
And remember "PDNFTT"
