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!
I was listening to WGR550 on the radio today on my way to camp and their main topic was about the Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame. They were asking people if the Bills should honor OJ Simpson in their Hall of Fame, or leave him out. And if they put him in, should they make a big deal about it and welcome him back to Buffalo for his induction? And if they put him in, should they mention his off the field problems too? Or not? What do you guys think?
Re: What should the Bills do about OJ for their HOF?
Without OJ there might not be a team in Buffalo today, ya he is a scumbag but he is one of the greatest players ever to play football for the Bills and he should be honored as such

Put him in, don't invite him to the festivities.
That's my thoughts. They should take everyone that is currently on the wall of fame and just induct them into the HOF all at once with a big opening ceremony in a few years.
Re: What should the Bills do about OJ for their HOF?
How valid would a Bills HoF be if it excluded OJ, the 1st Bill ever inducted into the Pro Football HoF?
He'll be included and in the festivities, my guess is that's part of what his attending the Bills game at the Ralph and meeting with Ralph Wison last year was all about.
RW realizes that OJ put Bills football on the map and will begin the process of Re-introducing the Juice to the Buffalo public that seems to have abandoned the League all time great.

Re: What should the Bills do about OJ for their HOF?
Hey no matter what anyone thinks personally OJ is an innocent man and was one of the greatest football players ever period. One of the few RB that would have moves that would make your jaw drop and say how did he do that. OJ was the Michael Jordan of the 70's for the NFL and I dare say that the NFL might not be what it is today without OJ so based on football accomplishments OJ always needs to be recognized
Re: What should the Bills do about OJ for their HOF?
no way would he be included in the festivities...there'd be too big of a media circus and the focus of it would be on OJ and the murders...not on the Bills HoF

agreed...but I reiterate..he won't be at the festivities...he hasn't once shown up for an alumni weekend since the murders

That's my thoughts. Unless of course they made Jim Kelly the big attraction, or maybe Lou Saban or Cookie Gilchrist.

blown over? I still hear people every once in a while talking how they should take OJ's name off the Wall
Any of those peoples' initials RW?
OJ made Wilson lots of $$ and saved the franchise.. not to mention his trade is what brought the Draft Pick that Kelly was selected with.. Ralph has nothing but fond memories of the OJ years.
