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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

hopefully, my successor would do a better job of hiring coaches and trading our first round draft picks for qbs. also, he would get rid of the lame unis since they have proven to not be winners (in more ways than one)
i would then go back to espn and hire all of my ex steeler buds and drive espn into the ground.
at that point, i may get hired by a large financial institution whereupon i would immediately change the logo and declare bankruptcy.
at that point, i would go home and watch my favorit movie-- forest gump.
My recollection is that there are few trades that occur in mid-season in the NFL. So that indicates to me that I'd have few trading partners ...
But here's what I'd be willing to give up:
~ a running back. Pick one; you have two that can play.
~ a white defensive end. Pick one; you have three(four?) that are veritably interchangably ineffective.
~ a starting QB.
~ a LBer. Pick the one you want most. Every SINGLE ONE is overpaid.
~ Eric Moulds. More wasted money.
~ Jonas Jennings, or Mike Williams
~ Either Sam Adams or Pat Williams.
Here's what I want to come out of the trades. Let's say I trade everyone of the players I have above ... Eric Moulds, straight up for any WR younger than 26 with more than 24 catches right now, plus a second or third round pick. Drew ... how about Drew for Warner? Testaverde? Brees? Can't get one of those? Get me a pretty good offensive guard. Pair up Travis and Mike Williams, ship them both with Kelsay or Schobel to Miami for Jason Taylor and that loudmouth TE or one of their DBs. If you need to, sweeten that pot up a bit. Pair up a DT ... say Adams... and Takeo Spikes. Dump them both for a #1 pick and pretty good DE that's emerging ... how about Calvin Pace? When it's all said and done, sign Jeff George to play QB and tell Shane his services are no longer needed.
OK. Now what do you have?
Another #1, and let's say a #3. The #1 will be used on a RT; resign JJ with the Williams money and use the leftover money for Pat.
You line up
Evans, a solid young #2 WR, and Josh Reed.
Jeff George for two weeks, then JP Losman.
Willis.
The Miami TE (wtf is his name???)
When Teague comes back, put him in at RT; the rest of the oline stays. Plus you've got a new starting G. I'm telling you that offense can't be any worse than 10 points a game, and it's cheaper.
On defense, you've either got the shut down corner you need, or Jason Taylor and Calvin Pace with Pat Williams. My guess is that defense creates twice the turnovers we have now.
Next year, you've dropped off the money for Spikes, Bledsoe, Moulds, Travis. Go crazy in the free agency market, and get yourself a top flight OT, or draft one.
what the last four years of a Republican House, Senate and Presidency has gotten us ...
tax cuts for the wealthy in the hundreds of billions
1,000 dead American servicemen
the U.S. Constitution trampled upon
our national debt growing into the TRILLIONS of dollars
implicit lies and consistent obfuscations of the truth regarding Iraq
I can hardly wait to see what four more years will get us.
Pat Williams! We are going to lose him any way. I would take any 0-lineman his size.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
He did win a SB with him. Why is he now Gruden's fall guy?
Somebody on the Dan Patrick show said Gruden only wants "yes men" on his team that he has selected (forget who it was). Apparently he has never liked Johnson.

It's the German in Gruden that makes him a totalitarian.
When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

Who would you trade and what would you like to get in return?
Do you want immediate help? Is anyone available that can help the team? What are you willing to give up to fix the team?
To be honest there's nothing TD can do at this point. He has made so many mistakes that this team has lost confidence in him. 17-35 will do that to you. He just needs to go and we need to start over.
However, to answer the question...I'd deal Moulds, Henry, Williams (and Drew, altho nobody other than Wisconsin High School would take him) for a STUD center, STUD LT and and some picks to shore up the rest of the line and a DE.
