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

I didn't say I wasn't going to pay any attention to what's going on. I'm just not going to continue to tie up 3+ hours of family time on Sundays when the team does nothing but pi$$ me off. It's called priorities.
I've been a fan through some seasons that were worse than this. Don't ever accuse me of being a fwf because I live a life away from being a fan of a pro football team.
You think it's not going to be hard for me to stay away from the tube during those games?

Reason: personal attacks
*** BF1. I didn't say I wasn't going to pay any attention to what's going on. I'm just not going to continue to tie up 3+ hours of family time on Sundays when the team does nothing but pi$$ me off. It's called priorities.

I have other priorities as well, but I tape the game and watch after those priorities. Sorry to tell you, but sounds like you're giving up. That may not be your intent, but your message comes off that way.
You guys are way off base on your judging me for this. You have no idea about my relationship with Bills and what role my fandom has had in my identity over the course of my life. I didn't ask for it, my question was, "how long will it last?"
I don't tape games. They just don't have the same affect when the outcome is already known. You say you have priorities. That's fine. They're just obviously different than mine.
I dont know man.... I just love the game plain and simple, I dont want to miss a week win or lose, I want to see the ninja kicks when they happen I want to watch in awe when drew heaves the ball 50 yards to evans, I want to see if Mularkey shows any emotion what so ever. To take football out of my life on Sunday is like a punishment.
Any Given Sunday is what they say. And any given sunday you may get the opportunity to see something you have never seen before.
BTW I think people took your initial post wrong because you said "waste your time".
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.

I'm not judging you, I was just explaining what it sounds like.
Also, I don't know the outcome of the game before I watch the tape. I don't want to know; that would suck.

Okay, to clearify, by "waste my time," I mean:
Sitting for 3+ hours in front of the TV watching football when I could be outside playing it with my 2 boys (or something else that is meaningful and active)
Stressing about rushing home, from friends and meaningful conversations at church so I sit in front of a television set and upset myself.
Neglect grading papers or other work I need to do because my focus is so pinned to the red, white and blue team on the TV.
Sitting on the couch instead of putting in the much needed training I have to do to run a good marathon in just 3 weeks.
