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

A proposal from the NFL's competition committee has suggested that the NFL abandon the infamous "tuck rule," which gained popularity during a Patriots playoff win over the Raiders in January of 2002.
Under the proposed rule change, a quarterback who loses control of the football when bringing it back to his body after a pump fake will be deemed to have fumbled. Under the current rule, such a play would result in an incompletion.
Yeah, wouldn't want another team not named New England to inadvertantly benefit from this rule...
I'd like to see an actual NFL rule book from that year. Hard copy, as anything posted online can be modified. I still think they made that one up on the fly, when they were reviewing the play.
That's faulking bull****. I hate the Oakland Raiders with a passion, but they got ****ing screwed in that game and tuck or not Marsha ****ing fumbled the ****ing football.

the rule existed, just not in the form that the ref used it to kill the fumble. The rule was meant to invalidate a fumble that occurs when a qb pump-fake, with the ball moving forward then slipping out of his hand. It was never meant to invalidate a STRIP of the football when the QB has already completed the throwing motion and is tucking the ball away on a pump-fake that leads to a sack.
The crime in that raiders game was how the NFL rubber stamped the rewriting of the "tuck" rule by a ref who made a poor call because he didn't understand the rule clearly enough. rather then admit the ref screwed up, they endorsed his rewrite of the rule and backed him up.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
