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!

They certainly did not have dance routines or other shticks, and they didn't keep popping up on ESPN or the Internet....more
By Deacon Jones, Class of 1980 Deacon Jones , the man who coined the term "sack," was one of the most devastating defensive ends ever to walk onto a football field. He faced Bob Brown six times as an opponent during his Hall of Fame career and practiced against him when they were teammates for two seasons with the Rams. Jones will be on stage as one of the many returning Hall of Famers who will take part in the August 8th enshrinement ceremony .
Well, as an opponent, Bob, you were probably the fiercest tackle I ever played against. You had a linebacker mentality.
You and I were also probably the only teammate combination that brought the news media out to watch us practice. We had such a vicious rivalry that they covered our one-on-one blocking and our one-on-one pass rushing just like they did the game... more
