The roundatble game in the WWE forums is out of control. Not because of the actions that have taken place, but because of the people. Some people...actually two people claimed that I got out of hand when I made a fake petition to remove Qfrodri as GM. I was attacked with the claims of me being ridiculous and not having a life. On the other hand, no one else had a problem with it. The reason I bring this up is because Cpman and Spideynerd have this miniature feud going on in which CPman created a fake account. While Cpman was partially wrong, Spideynerd blew the situation out of proportion. Now CPman is on the verge of getting banned, the Wrestlemania discussion thread is closed, and now we are going to be swamped with moderators. All of this could of been avoided if Spideynerd realized that this is a GAME, and dealt with this in a mature fashion. For him to go on a rampage and try to get CPman banned, an act in which he will most likely succeed, is pathetic and senseless. If this was an attack on Spidey's life, or him as a person I could understand, but it was an attack on his character in a game, something that Cpman admitted to. I am actually surprised that people are willing to take simple matters, and turn them into a catastrophic problem. Win, lose, or draw at Wrestlemanina I don't think I will continue to participate in a game where the most immaturity occurs with people being unable to separate a game from reality. When you play a video game with a friend and he says he is going to shoot you, do you call the authorities? When you play monopoly and someone makes the joke they are going to rob the bank, do you call the authorities? When you are playing a roundtable game and someone make a fake account saying he doesn't like you, why would you call the authorities? Am I comparing apples to oranges? I don't think so. What make's matters worse is the fact that this is the Internet. If you are offended by what goes on online, perhaps you should stick to socializing with people that you can see face to face. People where you can tell their emotions. Socializing with people where you can decipher sarcasm, from seriousness. It is hard to do that online, unless you have been around someone for a long time, in which you have grasp on what their personality may be like. If all of this should be judged by a wrestling forum; it's like judging someone at a football game. He's in the stand yelling, cursing and throwing a fit when the game is over he is a completely different person. Those of you who are willing to do something as pointless and senseless as that, should realize that internet socializing is not for you.

I've decided it's time for another blog, since a lot has been happening lately.

I am just ready for the school semester to end. College life is great and all, but can be stressful at times. I am just happy I am majoring in an area that I enjoy studying, but maintaing good grades, and stable friendships can be harder than it appears in. Especially when you have to be the "go to guy." The guy that is the responsible one, don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. It sucks getting a phone call from a drunk friend at 2am in the moring asking for your to pick them up at some unknown location. It's especially hard to decipher the location when the words are being slurred, and the non stop giggling doesn't help. Ahh the things I do for my friends.

The semester is coming to an end, and professors seems to pile on the course load at the very end. I just recieved my research paper grade back. The topic was finding Christianity in Harry Potter. My rough draft was 5 pages, and my Research and Argumentation Professor said it was too thin. So I managed to make it into a 11 page research Paper. Glad to see my efforts panned out, seeing as I got an A-. Now she wants us to rewrite the papers, and fix grammatical errors, and add finishing touches. But this time she want's us to put the tracking on. Thats different , as I have never had a teacher tell me to use that. It should be quite the experience

Speaking of research papers. My American Govt professor decided that she wanted our final Paper to be on the Economic crisis that we and other nations are going through. All is fine, but she wants it to be 8 pages single space. Word to the wise, think twice before majoring in Political Science unless it's something you really want to do (like me )

My teams look real bad this year. The Rams players are always injured. And it appears as if we don't compete at all. That the only excuse for having a 72 point half time defecit, cummulative, over a 2 game span. The spurs have a legitimate argument. They are really banged up, and 2 of our biggest scoring threats, Manu Ginobli and Tony Parker, are out. No one should ever count the Spurs out. I think history has shown us that. All the other teams can have fun now, but the Spurs usually get the job done when it matters the most. So for now, I will take the back seat, and enjoy my role as the butt of all jokes. Just remember Karma is bi..h!!

Holiday season is fast approaching. By far my favorite time of year. I love the cold weather! Yes even in Florida it gets cold. It just sucks that it doesn't snow. Thanksgiving is less than a week away, and that means FAMILY! Family will be coming in town. They ask so0o0o0o0o0 many questions and most of them revolve around school. They usually repeat questions over and over again. Other than that, it's usually good getting to see family members. With Family usually comes drama...unfortunately. But at the end of the day, it's all laughter and joy. I guess that's why it's...Family!

*Speeps two cents: Enjoy life, and don't get down about things. Acknowledge that their are problems, but don't beat yourself up about them especially when the ball is not in your court. There is an answer to every problem. You will eventually find it. Sometimes the best answers are found, when you are not looking.

Thats all for now. Until Next time

Cheers, Speeps!

40-0 at halftime....47-3 final score. One would assume that thats the final score to a NCAAF game. In reality that was the score to a NFL game. Yes the National Football League, the league where players go to play a game they love, and try to win a championship. So who was a part of that 47-3 debacle? Well the St.Louis Rams and the New York Jets. The Jets ran all over the Rams, imposing their will from be beginning to end, quarter to quater, minute to minute, and the Rams in return let them. Why do the Rams suck well there are many culprits.

(1) Front Office
The Rams front office is filled with people who don't care about the team and know nothing about Football. Our Owner Georgia Frontierre died shortly after the Rams season ended last year and she left the team to her son Chip Rosenbloom a film maker in Los Angeles. Chip has stepped in and has already shown more interest into this team than the President and GM. He's made moves such as firing coach Scott Linehan, hiring Jim Hasslet, and taking the personnel power away from our corrupted GM and President. Our President John Shaw, has not been in attendance to a St.Louis Rams game in years. In fact, he has not done much for this team. Shaw is busy worrying about his retirement plans, and other funds. Where do the Rams rank on his list of priorites? One would assume somewhere closer to the bottom. So with the President MIA, all the power lies in the hand of our GM Jay Zygmunt. The man responsible for releasing Isaac Bruce, Kevin Curtis, Shawn McDonald, Grant Winstrom, and the drafting of Adam Archuleta, Trung Candidate, Trev Faulk, Damione Lewis, Brian Allen, Milton Wynn, Jimmy Kennedy, Dejaun Groce, Dan Curley, Shane Walton, and Tony Hargrove. All within the last 5 -7 years. Half of these players are sitting at home, and others are on teams but low on the depth chart, yet Jay believed that these players were the future of the Rams. Zygmunt was around during the Rams superbowl win, but he does not get credit for the moves made around that time. Those were decision of our head coach Dick Vermil. Over the last years the Rams has made good draft moves, but once again no credit goes to Zygmunt because those were decision of VP of personnel Bill Devaney. Zygmunt is a lawyer, that knew nothing about Football, yet he's running the place? He fired Mike Martz....DROVE Mike Martz out of St.Louis because Martz didn't want to be his friend and always butted heads with him on Personnel decisions. Zygmunt did various acts to get Martz out of St.Louis. Vermil, wanted Martz as his successor. Everyone knows Martz is an offensive genius...meaning he does nothing on defense. What do the Rams do? we sign Larry Marmie to fix our defensive problems (WHO?) Martz gets an infection and has to leave the Rams, leaving Joe Vitt as interim head coach. What does Zygmunt do, he bans Martz from talking to players, and coaches, and helping Vitt gameplan. He was not even allowed to return to work. After the season Martz was fired. Say what ever you want about Martz, he was a good coach, and lead this team to playoffs after playoffs and took us to the Superbowl. He was very different in the way he handled his timeouts and challenges, but at the end of the day, the Rams were winning. Martz gets fired, and Zygmunt hires SCOTT LINEHAN? Why? because Linehan would go out and grab a drink with Zygmunt. Fact is Linehan was not ready to become a head coach even though the team went 8-8 in his first season. That was in large part to the guys that were here in the Vermil-Martz era. Linehan and Zygmunt then does a house cleaning getting rid of guys like the doughnut brothers (Adam Timmerman and Andy McCullom) great guys on the offensive line and true leaders. Kevin Curtis and Shaun McDonald. Two young, up and coming WR's. Isaac Bruce our future Hall of Fame WR, Ryan Pickett, who is currently doing wonders on the Carolina Panthers defensive line. Brandon Chillar who is a starter for the Green Bay Packers at Linebacker. In return we brought in Drew Bennet to fix our WR issues? (Has been injured every year since he got here, has done nothing and we are paying him 30 million dollars) and a plethora of free agents to fix our offensive line? (too much to name in the Linehan era) Point is the Rams in 2008 are suffering from decisions made in the past. We have players starting that doesn't deserve to start, much less be on a team. Our offensive line can't hold a block. When our QB takes the snap, a D-Line man is usally in his face. Our offensive line gets so many penalties. If has been like this for years. What do the Rams do? we sign Jacob Bell in the offseason...and drafted rookies in late rounds. The Rams can get this thing turned around but in order for that to happen. Our front office must be a completely different one. At some point players has to be responisble for what happens on the field. But when you have a dysfuntional front office, head coach changes, coordinator changes, and position coach changes every year, there is no stability. The problem lies with our front office.

(2) Front office- See above!

*I just seriously needed to vent after that horrendous loss.

Randyspeeps must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Randyspeeps possibly have for not rating a single film?
