All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Steelers Notebook: Davenport agrees to 2-year deal
Friday, March 02, 2007
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-gazette
The Steelers signed backup running back Najeh Davenport to a two-year, $2 million contract yesterday, paying him the kind of money that should put him high in their plans for next season.
Davenport, who would have become an unrestricted free agent, received a $405,000 signing bonus, a salary of $595,000 this year and $1 million next year. He is entering his sixth season in the NFL.
The Steelers signed Davenport to a one-year contract after their first game last season when Green Bay released him. He eventually became their backup to starter Willie Parker after Verron Haynes was injured at midseason. New coach Mike Tomlin has stated a preference for using two running backs, something that is becoming a trend in the NFL.
Davenport, 6 feet 1 and 247 pounds, gained 221 yards on 60 carries last season and also returned kickoffs.
In a twist that could scuttle a proposed trade to Tampa Bay, Jake Plummer told friends he plans to retire from football rather than continue his NFL career in another city.
The Florida Times-Union reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with former Ravens tackle Tony Pashos. "As long as the physical checks out we'll sign him today," coach Jack Del Rio said. Pashos will be installed as the team's starting right tackle.
ESPN Radio reports that the Broncos have agreed to a deal with Daniel Graham on a deal that includes a $10 million signing bonus.
Mike Shanahan has been looking for a quality starting tight end who can block for a long time. Denver uses two tight ends sets extensively and Tony Scheffler will still be a big part of the passing game, but Graham could get on the field more in the red zone because of his blocking. His fantasy potential goes up, but don't expect Graham to be a TE1.
CHUKWURAH TO BUCS CONFIRMED Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune (see, Roy, it's not hard to give credit where it's due) reports that the Bucs have landed linebacker/defensive end Patrick Chukwurah. The deal is for five years, $5.5 million.
A powerful run-blocker with the ability to pick up the blitz, FB Ovie Mughelli was signed by the Falcons during the first day of the NFL's free agent period on Friday.
Mughelli (6-1, 255 pounds), a second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press this past season, was an unrestricted free agent who had spent his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens after the club selected him in the fourth round (134th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft. Terms of his contract were not disclosed.
