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!
I think even if this team makes it to the AFC Championship this year, they will not earn the proper respect until they put forth a winning season the following year.
we're getting CBS's ""A"" team, and being tagged as their game of the week.... i think we're getting alot more respect nationally than we are locally... but thats probably because we're mostly jaded from our past, and more specifically '08

that's great- people living 5000 miles away in a country that doesn't give a **** about football can get the game on regular cable.
I live 400 miles from Buffalo and 200 miles from NYC in a country that has a national obsession with football, and I can't get the game on cable.
Welcome to NFL greed.
T-W has long stated that they would carry NFL network on a paid sports tier basis - those who want it, pay for it. What could be simpler? But the NFL wants it to be on basic digital cable - reason for that is much more potential viewership and therefore higher advertiser revenue, as well as slapping on a per-month charge for everyone.
T-W here in the Cincy area has approximately 640,000 subscribers - many if not most who don't give a flying F about the NFL (this is B'gals territory, after all...), but the NFL wants all subscribers to peel off $5+ per month and have one of their other channel choices kicked out or kicked upstairs into the more pricey plans.
It was bad enough that T-W knuckled under to the yowling OSU crowd, and shoved in BTN - the Big Ten Network down our craw. And extracted $ from me. So I'm am happy indeed when the $$$eyes get Buck-O'd.
It's hard to defend a cable company, but it's money grubbing by Goodall and the Gang of 32, not them...
