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

Should OJ be allowed to go to HOF induction ceremony
It would likely be too dangerous for him to go. There'd be too much of an uproar if he went and if it was announced that he was going, the crowds would be sparse.
I don't know if the league could say no if he wanted to go but I don't think he would be well received if he went. I would hope Joe D would know better than to invite him. He was once my childhood hero and today I can not stand the sight of the guy.
I don't see where it would be a problem for OJ or any other well wisher for Joe D to be at the HOF induction ceremony. Let's face it OJ will bring himself attention wherever he shows up these days. If OJ minds his P's & Q's and takes a seat to honor a football legend getting inducted to the HOF then so be it. On the other hand if OJ goes to knowingly take the attention away from Joe D. or if he feels like it maybe a distraction then he shouldn't be present. He may not be a welcomed visitor by some people then again Joe D. just might not want him there anyway. It wouldn't bother me one bit if he was there or not.
It shouldn't be much of an issue. The Hall is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, so for the ceremony, they are inviting back all the inductees. OJ is in the Hall, so if he wants to be there, he can go.
I agree with Mush and Jack. He went into the HOF for his football accomplishments. If they were to withhold his right to be there.... then they may as well not induct anyone until they are dead. That way they can make sure that the candidate ended up as a decent human being.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

Re: Should OJ be allowed to go to HOF induction ceremony
Originally posted by northernbillfan In August when Joe DeLamielleure is inducted to the HOF, should OJ be allowed to go to the induction ceremony?
DeLamielleure, was instrumental in OJ's success, but is OJ's past too tainted?
IMHO, Tha HOF is too sacred for his presence.
Legally, sure he gets to go. Im sure the Hall of Fame will allow it also, I would if I was the guy at the hall deciding. I don't want my cerimony tainted by not allowing or trying not to allow OJ who was found "not guilty" by jury trial into the ceremony. You really got no legs to stand on by trying to keep him out.
My personal opinion is he shouldn't be walking the street much less the induction ceremony
The Polian Curse
"They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
February 4, 1993 Bill Polian at his closing press conferance after being dismissed as GM of the Buffalo Bills by Ralph Wilson.
Legally yes, he can go. But he would be a distraction and would be better off not going. I believed he was possibly innocent until the civil trial in which he lied under oath about hitting Nicole. If he lied about that, he probably lied about killing her.
I don't care if he goes or not. He's not showing up at Nicole Simpson's parents wedding aniversary. He shouldn't go because of the attention it would cause, but if him on Joe D. wants him there, then that's their choice.
The only thing his first trial proved was if you have an incompetent judge and prosecutors, good lawyers and plenty of money, combined with a racially biased jury you can get away with a double murder.
His civil trial didn't go so well as he was found to be financilly responsible for the deaths of two people.
He doesn't belong anywhere but in jail and that includes aHOF ceromony.
Whether or not he committed those murders at this point is irrelevent. We all have our opinions of him but none of us know all of the details, only what we were showed on television. I don't know if it would be wise for him to show up but because he was found "not guilty" he has just as much a right to be there as any of us. (By irrelevent, I was talking about this particular point, obviously murders are very relevent)
