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!

Refs Union denies this report and demands apology. The NFL leaks like a sieve and most of what leaks turns out to be bogus. Anyone buying these reports as fact is like Charlie Brown thinking he's going to kick the football.

The refs union is upset because everyone read "official" and thought it was someone on the referee crew. It wasn't, it was a person who worked for the league office as part of the game representatives. One of the guys who take care of the K balls. Unlike the regular balls, the K balls are supposed to be kept by someone from the league. They don't even get sent to the teams, the K balls get sent directly from Wilson to the refs hotel, where they inspect the balls and hand them over to a league representative to keep on game day. One of those guys was stealing the balls.

Ok so fill me in here- I have a job so I can't devote full time to this gripping saga. I heard this woman on the radio who wrote a column blaming a Patriots worker, some guy named McNally, for "knowingly trying to put a kicking ball in play that was not approved". How does this guy stealing balls fit in with that?
