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

Mizzou DE Michael Sam - Projected 3rd-4th Round Pick - Announces He's Gay
Guys like Chris Carter and Emmitt Smith have commented on having an openly gay man in an NFL locker room. They said the NFL is not ready for that yet and the player would not be accepted by his teammates.
I also think that any team that drafts him would be facing unwanted publicity with the media camped out at their offices everyday. It would be a circus just like with Tim Tebow. It takes away from game preparation when players and coaches have to answer questions about "the gay guy"
Anyone who claims insight into everyone, is only really speaking of himself.
He'd never be able to actually PROVE discrimination either, I would think.
Maybe it'll force some gay policy like the Rooney rule, where every team is forced to tryout a homosexual. Call it the Sam Rule.
I have gay friends, but I sure wouldn't want to shower with them, even in a locker-room. Is that being homophobic? Maybe. People want to act so open-minded, but I figure most straight guys feel the same way, at least in this country.
I agree that it will probably be a distraction to have him on any team. The ideal is that it shouldn't matter at all if he's gay, but all the attention it gets says otherwise...that it DOES matter, for whatever reason. Let's talk all day about something that doesn't matter and call it news...does not add up.
They already do shower with gay people. There are plenty of gay people already in lockerrooms in every state in this country. The reason it's a big deal is because bigots say stupid things like I wouldn't want to shower with my gay friends. So does that mean you want to shower with your straight friends? What kind of logic is this?

The logic is you don't have to worry another straight guy is going to be attracted to you if you drop the bar of soap.

Why are they bigots if they don't chose to shower with men who have sex with other men? Maybe it makes them feel uncomfortable. Of course the use of the word "bigot" is to stifle opinion because no one wants to be called that.
It's also interesting that fluffers like yourself want to dictate through criticism how others should think and feel.

Almost guaranteed that one of your teammates from high school or college was gay and showered with you.

The guy has integrity. He's going to get drafted b/c he was the best defensive player in the SEC. And he seems like the kind of person that will gain the respect of his teamates because of his play and attitude.
All the Archie Bunkers in this thread are funny, and perhaps still ruminating that the country just isn't ready for Jackie Robinson.
[W]e are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace...
[F]or no one chooses to be at war, or provokes war, for the sake of being at war; any one would seem absolutely murderous if he were to make enemies of his friends in order to bring about battle and slaughter...

So what? Had I known, it would have made me uncomfortable. Kill me.
Maybe they should let me shower with the women, and then lay some kind of guilt trip on them if they are uncomfortable about it. In fact, I'm all for that idea. How do you feel about that? Would the women have a point, or would they be Archie Bunker bigots if they would prefer not to get naked with me?
I'm not all up-in-arms about it, but it would be an issue.
