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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

A New Jersey Police source has come forward and said the NFL received the second tape (back in April), and they have a confirmation that it was received.
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.
So... Goodell first gave the slap on the wrist 2 game ban... then when the video came out, the team released him and Goodell said "oh crap, gonna ban this guy indefinitely since I blew the first call..." Then, said "we had no access to the tapes."
Turns out that he did... So when does he resign/get fired/get justice? He's been a cancer to this league and now he's blatantly lying to the fans.
Breaking news all over the TV. NFL got copy of the knockout punch in April. Said an "NFL Executive" received it. That needs to be defined. Still, this looks real bad.
Roger protected the brand.
Lawyer up.

I mean what did the NFL even get out of making a short suspension for Rice? What is the point of hiding what he did and why would you try to side with him? That's exactly what they did when they suspended him for only two games. Talk about a horribly executed cover up.
But why risk this kind of public backlash to protect Ray Rice's career? Seems like the NFL would happily chew up and spit out Rice as long as the greed machine marched forward. I don't get it.
One thing we can now assume with 100% confidence - the Patriots' tapes were almost certainly incriminating evidence and destroyed to protect them and the NFL brand.

No question

I hope he doesn't get fired, because if he does, they'll replace him with someone even more hypersensitive to the PC police.
He screwed up. Pretty bad. People in the NFL screw up pretty bad all the time and don't lose their jobs. People in government screw up ALL the time and don't lose their jobs.
This is a feeding frenzy for people who are out to destroy the league and it goes way beyond Ray Rice.
Ray Rice screwed up BIG TIME. Probably should be in jail. But that's a Ray Rice problem, not an NFL problem. These whack jobs who are blaming the league for what one guy did have an agenda.
Goodell's a chicken**** and shouldn't be allowed to just fall on his sword. Of course it's up to Congress to make an example of him...so nothing useful will happen and he'll golden parachute into retirement.
