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

JP may draw attention to himself by different stories, although he seems to know that nothing is bigger than playing well in actual games, McGahee is straight to the point: "you just wait and see." Not much other stuff, even though he could have a long story to tell from his devastating injury - I actually never heard him talking about it or rehab by himself - but he carries an attitude of everything he accomplished so far is really nothing; bigger better things are well ahead. In fact he wants to be the best, "old and young."
Of course he'd like to be shown the money as well. I suspect it will have to match his performance of the best, "old and young."
I saw him on an interview on the Best Damn Sports Show down in Florida.
He was REALLY cocky... but ya know what? I think cockiness (as long as it doesnt spill over to the off the field problems) is fine with me. In fact, I think it is something we've been missing since the early 90's. In fact, I think Thurman was VERY cocky as well... wasnt he?
Like I said, as long as he keeps it on the field (unlike TO), I am fine with it!

Jim Kelly was cocky, too, and he and Thurman made quite a pair. I hope we get the same results from JP and Willis.
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'm not saying I have a problem with that. Based on his performance last year, I have every reason to believe that he will back it up on the field.
JP is another story though ...
An NFL QB has to be cocky, or in all probability he will not succeed.

Good. It's what kept him going after an injury that would've broken any other players will to succeed and rehab faster than anyone ever expected. I hope he never doubts himself. Besdies, what he said was nothing compared to all the smack that Thurman would throw around to media.
Why is cocnkiness considered a bad thing in our society?
As long as people are not a dick about it it won't hurt anyone. Confidence is perhaps more important than even speed and strength when it comes to success in the league. You need to have an attitude to play this game.
Some people might get rubbed the wrong way by things McGahee says, but it's kind of nice to see that super confident attitude in some of our players, especially one as important as McGahee. I know there are a lot of players that put up great numbers and work hard, but McGahee just seems to bring something extra with his attitude that just makes me feel like we're always going to be good as long as he's carrying the ball. I love that he expects to be the best because he always seems to back up everything he says. He reminds me of an undefeated champion fighter that just refuses to lose.
The difference to me between cockiness and confidence is whether you can backup what you say or not. And quite frankly, I think both WM and JP can both backup their talk...

Couldnt agree more....People mistake confidence for cockiness....You need to have confidence is sports, in fact, I think it's the most important thing. If you have a great player whos head isnt there, their performance is dramatically worse...I played D1 lacrosse, and my freshman year there were fellow freshman dropping the ball and making stupid mistakes that most high schoolers wouldnt make. It was hard to believe these kids could come to a D1 school and not catch a ball, it was all in their confidence. You gotta realize that you belong and are just as good as anybody to ever play at the top. When you believe in your abilities, you demand perfection of yourself......Besides Mcgahee is God, he can be as cocky as he likes.....
I'd say because of his A)Agent, B)Ability, and C)Fanfair.... all of those things make him perfect trade, or hold-out,bait after a breakout season.
That's the only problem I have with it.
There's a big difference between WM's cockiness and the kind that Kelly and Thurman displayed. They also didn't play in an era full of greedy owners, greedy agents, and greedy players, all which got us to the "I want a new deal or I'm holding out and crying like a 5 year old" era, and the Free Agency-happy era.
