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!
is he in buffalo or is he still dealing with getting his education squared away? i haven't heard anything on him and was wondering? if he's still gone, when is he reporting? anybody know?

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?
You got it, particularly with the guy is making a position switch, even though CB to Safety is not the toughest move.

Not that it makes any difference... mini camp ends Thursday (6/11)
It’s happened before and as long as the league rule is in place it will continue to happen when OTAs begin for the Bills later today and for other NFL teams. Buffalo’s second-round draft choice Jairus Byrd will miss all of the team’s OTAs due to the final exam schedule at his university.
Final exams at the University of Oregon do not begin until June 8 and run through June 12. The NFL has a rule working in conjunction with the NCAA that states the following.
“If final examinations at a player’s school conclude after May 16, the player may not participate in any activities other than the three-day minicamp until after the player’s final day of examinations.”
Buffalo’s OTAs run up until June 8 with their mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 9-11, meaning Byrd would miss all of the workouts between now and the mandatory minicamp. Naturally missing practice time is not sitting well with the second-round pick.
“I think just like anybody he’s a competitive individual, so he wants to be here when his team is here,” said Bills defensive backs coach George Catavolos. “But he has an obligation to get his degree. These are the way the rules are and you have to abide by them.”
He'll get some tutoring, but his real work will start at training camp. Fortunately, he's supposed to be a film room and study fanatic. He'll have the bookwork down so he can concentrate on the on field stuff come training camp.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
