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!
Before the draft tomorrow the NFL should have a 5 min. rememberance of Pat Tillman and have his family there and have them talk about Tillman and why he decided to give up his career to join the Army Rangers. and have a picture of him in a frame in the middle of the stage.
:nasa:
Thank You Tillman for defending us off and on the Field
In a way I hope they do, but in a way I hope they don't.
Tillman didn't seem to seek any publicity about going over or anything like that and it seemed that he wanted to be treated just like anyone else over there. Make a comment about everyone over there, but I don't want it to turn into a big event because I don't think that's what he would have wanted, and that's the most important thing when choosing to honor him.
They should take 5 minutes to remember all the dead from the war. Other Careers and families were sacrificed also. Tillman didn't think he was better than anyone else.
Originally posted by Fairway To Green I was watching around the horn today and those guys thought he should be put in the hall of fame. What do you all think about that?
I say no. The hall of fame recognizes football talent, not personal character. Maybe honor him in some way, but he was not in the category of Jim Kelly as a football player.
Look, the guy was a great individual. But he was not a hall of fame football player. This tragedy should not be turned into a publicity stunt which is exactly what putting him in the hall would be.

Maybe for brave service outside of football or something...
Was he a great safety? If he wasn't a HOF safety, he should not go in as a player per se.
