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

Is anyone else intrigued by the prospect of Elway playing a big part in Denver's football operations?
With Levy seeming to have failed utterly as a GM after being a beloved coach, I'm very curious to see how Elway's foray into an NFL front office goes. I have little doubt Jim Kelly will also be watching, as he seems to always be hanging around in the background when it comes to the Bills.

THe elway move is going to be a failure. I have a sense that he's going to do the big things that gets the fans excited. but he's not going to be hands on enough to be able to work all the moving pieces.
From the outside, this seems like a Levy as the GM situation where the Denver ownership is trying to salvage fan support and ticket sales after the McDaniels era, which couldn't have gone any worse.
Elway has run an arena team for a while, maybe that will help.
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.
Broncos named Hall of Famer John Elway Executive Vice President of Football Operations, as expected.
Elway will answer to Joe Ellis, who has been promoted to team president with "ultimate responsibility." Elway will, however, oversee the head coach and GM Brian Xanders. His first order of business will be to lead the head coaching search. Matt Millen, the only recent example of a former player with no personnel experience getting a similar position, told the Denver Post he hopes Elway fares better. "Because I stunk at it," Millen admitted.

New Broncos VP of Football Operations John Elway referred to head coaching candidate Mike Mularkey as "Mark Mularkey" multiple times in Elway's introductory press conference Wednesday.
It won't throw water on skepticism about Elway's credentials, and nor will Elway's admission that he hasn't paid close attention to NFL personnel in recent years. Elway is at the forefront of the Broncos' head-coaching search. Hopefully, he learns Mularkey's first name before Friday's interview.
