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

Twice in the past two years (August 2021 and this week), former ESPN president John Skipper suggested that the Super Bowl eventually will become a pay-per-view event.
Twice in the past two years (August 2021 and this week), former ESPN president John Skipper suggested that the Super Bowl eventually will become a pay-per-view event. Twice in response, we pointed out on Twitter that this potential shift comes with one major risk. If/when the NFL ever removes the Super Bowl from free, over-the-air TV, Congress may immediately strip the NFL of its critically important broadcast antitrust exemption.
“It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”
"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.
Well the advertising could be doubled down with the PPV too....so if they can come out in the black on all that I think they will do it at some point. The broadcast networks are losing a lot of ground. The NFL could offer tiered plans with different services and ads or not ads. But most importantly it takes the power of the marketing out of Neilsen numbers and they could charge for ads directly based on who the company is contacting and when. This is serious stuff! We are talking about moving one of our biggest events away from mass marketing to direct marketing.
I'm not sure how well this would go over. The casual fan won't pay for it. I was invited to two different parties this year and neither host even knew who was playing, seriously but they enjoy hosting parties. PPV would end these households from buying it. Unless the Bills were in it, I won't buy it.
I think ad revenue would outweight whatever PPV revenue they'd get.
Hate the idea for obvious reasons.

Boxing was one of the biggest sports in the USA, PPV killed the sport.
No one watches it anymore. Oh sure it would work for a few years, maybe a decade or two. but in a generation no one would watch PRO football anymore. they'd kill their own golden goose.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
Viewership would be astronomically down if they did this.
They make millions during the superbowl from ad revenue and obviously the viewership. Its not a smart idea
They also keep flirting with the idea of making superbowls on saturdays which i think is dumb also because more jobs are off on sundays than any other day of the week. Their excuse is because kids have school the next day but thats a dumb reason imo. If your kid has to miss the next day because they went to the superbowl, thats up to the parents
They act like they are somehow losing money during the superbowl or that attendance is somehow down because all the kids cant go to the game
Its pretty ridiculous how much the nfl tries to act like they are just scraping by
Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions
Unless the Bills are in it, I'd pass and watch something else. Local teams would probably get the game free anyhow but whatever.
I don't gamble, which is what the NFL now firmly believes is the reason they have their audience over a barrel.
I read that the other day and beyond that one person, it was shot down since they have folks lining up now for high priced commercials on the major networks. They would not get that response on pay per view.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
