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!
i only watch when theres a bill. but i think its getting out of hand. all these hall of fames are going to run out of room someday. Not to say that someone like Marv Levy doesn't deserve to be there, but think of how many Marv Levy types there will be in the next 10 years...that goes even more so for players.
I don't understand any "Hall of Fame" be it sport...entertainment...what have you...I no sooner want to see Bronko Nagurski's jock strap then I do Mama Cass's last half eaten sandwich.
I might have cared more if my daughter had gone to Malone College (in Canton and only a couple miles from the hall). She was interested and we did visit, but I didn't make it to the Hall o Fame.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I've been to Canton, Cooperstown, and The NHL HOF in Toronto, and loved each museum. There is a boatload of Bills stuff in Canton, like Christies shoe from the OT FG he kicked in the comeback game, OJs jersey from the day he broke 2000 at Shea Stadium, etc... There is lots to do, and all kinds of highlights to watch. Admission is not that expensive either.
The bad thing about these places is that now due to the amount of ex-jocks on tv as commentators, the hall is getting crowded with guys who were a mediocre talent on the field, but since their melons are on tv every week, they get voted into their repective Halls of Fame. Dan Dierdork and Howie Schlong are two that immediately come to mind.
Overall though, its a nice thing to do on an afternoon, and even those who are not a fan will enjoy it. I rarely even watch baseball, but I thought Cooperstown was great.
Originally posted by lordofgun I will never watch a ceremony. I will certainly never travel there.
In all seriousness, you really should. Like Billsology is saying, it's quite an experience. I go to inductions every year just to get the football juices flowing.
yes and no. like LOG i'll never watch a ceremony. I'd rather watch paint dry. It's nice to see Bills make it in, but I think it has gotton watered down with the selection that make it. either way, i really don't pay attention to the hall.
