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!
****ing Landry Jones. He'll always only be the guy who made this incredibly cheap shot to me...if he wins the Nobel Peace Prize, I'll still define him by this.
And of all the freakin' guys to do this to...Aaron Williams? After what he's already been through in the past year? Absolutely unreal.
I hope for his sake he considers retirement. I like him as a player and love him for how he's embraced being a Buffalo Bill, but I don't want to be reading about his health problems 10 years from now.

I will not be surprised if Tebow has more success than Peyton in the NFL.
Being an old fart, I've seen it before. Robert James was the best CB in the NFL when he shredded his knee and was done at 27. Derrick Burroughs was a top CB and suffered a bad neck injury and was done. If there is any doubt from the Doctors point of view, walk away....while you still can.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Have a feeling it was a matter of time though, same as Karlos Williams will get concussed again, same as Shady will be bothered by a hamstring.
No excuse for Landry's hit, but Aaron might want to walk away at this point.
It wasn't a matter of time. Most guys can play forever and NEVER get a shot like that with no chance to react, cheap and dirty or not.
****ing Landry Jones...
You can disagree and that's fine, but Williams already had a nearly catastrophic collision in his resume and he wasn't going to make it far as a safety without more of them ahead, either giving or receiving. Most guys didn't have a 50/50 shot of ever playing again after last year, and it was Williams who said that.

So you are saying that it's only at matter of time before lightening strikes twice in the same place, or that the same type freak accident should happen to the same person...even though this time it clearly was no accident?
Sounds like where you are going with this.
Aaron Williams was back, and he was just another player before this viscous unnecessary hit. That hit alone could **** somebody's career up for good. Still hope he's OK, and it wasn't as bad as it looked. But this has got to do some **** to his confidence at the very least, I'd say.
****ing Landry Jones...
BTW, I bet you are a huge fan of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. Seems to be right up your alley. I'm reading it again now. Read the five books if you haven't...

I think there's a difference here though. Injuries like that are part of sports and always will be. The Nationals have a great catcher named Wilson Ramos, but at the end of the regular season, he jumped to catch a high throw to the plate, landed awkwardly and shredded his knee. He may never be able to catch again. It sucks, but it's reality and it's even more common in contact sports like football.
The difference is that Williams is out due to a cheap shot. it was intentional and there was no reason for it.
The only way to make it stop is to make the offender sit until the victim can play again, and if the victim is forced to retire, it's a one year mandated vacation.
