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!

This is Our Starting "Hard Hitting" Safety on Facebook...
Donte Whitner Is thinking about deleting my facebook page :-( feedback please
Somethin about that just doesn't sit right with me... While I think it's cool a player is having that much fan interaction...it seems like he takes a lot of stupid fan comments way too much to heart.
Whats everyone think? Quite frankly I hope he deletes his Facebook account because it always seems like he's fishing for compliments and affirmation from fans anyways...dude needs to stop caring about what random people on Facebook think about him and just take care of his own business.
Re: This is Our Starting "Hard Hitting" Safety on Facebook...
Sounds to me like he wants his ego stroked! I think he wants to hear people say....."Please Donte dont do that we love you".........ego needs to be stroked is my guess!
Re: This is Our Starting "Hard Hitting" Safety on Facebook...
Maybe he's been advised (by agent, management, or whatever) to ditch it, and is looking for a reason not too. Most likely he's looking for some ego stokage though.
Re: This is Our Starting "Hard Hitting" Safety on Facebook...
Do you guys know how many athletes have Facebook and Twitter accounts? An ass load of them . Also an FYI Terrell Owens is constantly tweeting. Donte can do whatever he wants on his own time but he better put up this season on the field.
Re: This is Our Starting "Hard Hitting" Safety on Facebook...
Just out of curiosity - is it even really him? I have no idea which is why I'm asking. I have never been on Facebook, Twitter or Myspace in my entire life.

Many athlete/celeb accounds are done by publicists. Whitner's is almost certainly done on his own.

I tell my family and friends that if they ever get a Tweet, a Facebook or Myspace message (or whatever it's called) or even a text message from me, to pay no attention, because the aliens have landed and are inhabiting my mind.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Re: This is Our Starting "Hard Hitting" Safety on Facebook...
I have a facebook page but would never bother Donte. However, if Donte goes out there and accepts these people as friends he needs to realize he will get criticism whether it is valid or not from some people. Its really too bad that he is trying to be kind and reach out to fans and be an everyday person yet some people just take advantage of his kindness and just want to criticize him. I guess that is why some athletes can not be bothered with the general public.
Personally, I respect athletes have the need for a personal life. When I see athletes out and about in everyday life I act like they are every day people. If they are at a football function (i.e. training camp I would ask for an autograph). Yesterday, I coached my son's little league team and John Kasey, kicker of the Panthers, was coaching the other team. We talked and joked around a fair amount since we were both coaching at first the whole game but I just treated him like an everyday person.
