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!
Wow, I can't even imagine this happening. What would you do if it happened here?
(WEWS-TV) ( )That’s some offensive tackle. An innocent 8-year-old wearing a New York Jets jersey at Sunday’s match-up between Gang Green and the Cleveland Browns in Ohio was pummeled by…
I can't believe that a bunch of adults would actually pick on an 8-year old kid like that.
I'd go ape**** if I saw Bills fans doing that to some kid in Buffalo.

You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

That's seriously messed up... but taking it out of context, I couldn't help but laugh a little that someone could suffer minor leg injuries from having hotdogs thrown at them.

Breaking news right there.
But I agree, fans are beyond stupid about opposing fans these days. We've had a real problem with it on the west coast with the Dodgers-Giants rivalry.
That's seriously messed up... but taking it out of context, I couldn't help but laugh a little that someone could suffer minor leg injuries from having hotdogs thrown at them.
You missed the part that the kid was tackled in the parking lot?
But kids heal fast. Four years later and he's probably gotten over that trauma enough to have wings thrown at him by drunken Bills fans when the Jets visit in November.

I really think we are nearing a tipping point of the downfall of Football. Between the over-corporatization, the out of control fans and the mostly unwatchable product for those teams that don't have a top 10 QB it has to be so.

Damn straight. I think we're past the tipping point. Anyone under 30 has no concept of pro football as a sport as opposed to the marketing spectacle it has become. It's sad.

I've maintained that for some time. Add in the concussion thing, Lem Barney's comments earlier this year, the goings on in the NCAA...the "super" conferences, the union issue, the O'Bannon court decision.

Have to step in and say I'm 26 and am appalled by what the NFL has turned in to. If you've seen my other threads, the gimmick of what the heads have turned this sport in to completely takes away from the game itself, through rule changes making it nearly unwatchable to everything needing an advertisement stuck on it. I've watched the replays of old games and wish THAT was the game that still existed, not the "fundamentals so kids and women can have a good ol' time" bull****.
As for the kid from back in 2010, sorry, but how does a grown man tackle a kid and he ends up with a bruise? This sounds like 1 person lobbed a hotdog and missed, another drunk fan probably ran in to him or "tackled" him in the rush to get out, or the kid was being a brat (or his father? the article says father-son outing, was she even there?). The rush to get reporters off the lawn and turning down a free trip to a Jets game in a luxury box sounds awfully suspicious.
NOW, on the OTHER hand, if it is true? Fans need to tone it down, it's a game. Barely even enjoyable game anymore. Or leave your kids at home, make this about men again. Hell, I've been going to games since I was 8 and have been knocked around, my parents didn't cry to the Buffalo News, they knew where they were taking me.
