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

Someone pointed out to me that among this year's pro bowlers, all 3 NFC quarterbacks are black. Culpepper, McNabb, and Vick.
Remember back in the days where blacks weren't even allowed to play in the NFL? Wow. It's nice to see the progress we've made. This society has definitely come a long way.
First, Rush is not a racist. Second, Vick over Favre?
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I know Rush isn't a racist- but what he said last year was just friggin stupid. But, back to the topic at hand before this ends up in the No Spin Zone-
Vick's a better athlete but Favre is definitely a better QB. What helped Vick is the hype (see MBB's thread) and the fact that his team is 11-3.

3 black QBs and zero white QBs. Yeah, that's equality!
Careful, you'll get Rushed right out of town.

What Rush said had some truth to it. What he said was that the press was really pushing for a black QB to do well. The opinion he had was regarding the press and how they overrated McNabb's contributions to a good team because he is black.
I think Rush was right at the time and that McNabb has since proofed him wrong.
Let's review: McNabb, he said, is "overrated ... what we have here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback can do well—black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well."
"There's a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
I can see your point- the only thing is that Rush needs to know when to keep his damn mouth shut. On his radio show, people expect Rush to say this kind of thing and, while it draws attention, it's not necessarily controversial. During football commentary, invoking race is always walking a thin line.
BTW there was one part of Rush's commentary that I never understood: the part about the media wanting a black QB to do well. Randall Cunningham, Doug Williams (he won a SB), Kordell Stewart, Daunte Culpepper, McNabb, Vick....
True, there hasn't been a black Joe Montana or Dan Marino caliber QB yet, but there have been plenty of successfull black QB's, and when Rush made his comment there were 9 or 10 starting QBs who were black (off the top of my head- Vick, McNabb, Culpepper, Aaron Brooks, Quincy Carter, Kordell Stewart, Steve McNair, Jeff Blake).
With so many black QB's, Rush's comments make no sense. Some of these guys have been successful on their own- they don't need the media to invent it for them.
Vick deserves to be there more than Farve this year... You can't base a "Pro Bowl season" on passing stats alone... Vicks team wins more than Farves... plus he has like 800+ ruching yards

He has over 800 "ruching" yards? Is that the amount of yards the Falcons lose when he drops back with one hand on the ball and he loses it?
And you spell Favre like this. Sorry. There are a lot of people here who won't even read a post if they have gramatical errors.
Sorry for the bad spelling but i think you missed my point... All Vick does is win... thats the bottom line... and thats going to get you more votes when it comes to the pro bowl... The way Favre has been playing lately he doesn't deserve it more than Vick... Maybe if he could of beat the Jags last week I would feel different about him... and more commentators are always on Favres jock than Vicks...
