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!
When you hear the New England Patriots are accused of sending a spy to videotape an opponent’s signals, do you think, “There is no WAY that would EVER be tolerated on a team coached by Bill
Belichick?”
Belichick’s career as a Hall of Fame coach is quickly being overtaken by his career as a Hall of Fame jackass.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
If this is all just a big misunderstanding, all apologies to Belichick.
If not, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needs to go all Pacman Jones on Belichick, who is a repeat offender when it comes to the crime of sore winning and sore losing.
I've been saying for years that the Pats win through mostly trickery. This doesn't surprise me one bit especially in light of Belichick's habit of bringing in cut players from teams he's about to face. I also love how their o-line gets to hold a lot so Tom Brady can have time to make a BLT sandwich before tossing the ball.
where's NE39. Maybe he can shed some light to these allegations.
"No thanks, justa. Now back to the Bills. Marv should start taking notes from Belicheck on how to have a winning franchise. I mean, who doesn't want to be division champs like the Pats are. Not trying to beat my chest, but we are the model of success."

What is to say? It is what it is. Attempting to steal signals is pretty common in the NFL, but the Pats took it way too far and got caught. They will pay the penalty. Nothing much more I can add to that.
This doesn't have much acual effect on the season, but it obviously is embarrassing to the organization. It hurts long-term, because they are going to lose draft picks.
As for your calling me out, I don't have any real other affiliation with the team other than being a fan, so it isn't like it effects my everyday life one way or the other.

That isn't fair, Bling. You never heard anything from me about the Pats being a model franchise or doing things any different from any other. They are talented and well-coached, but I'm not one to think they are different.
