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

Roddy White and four other Atlanta Falcons were fined by the NFL for violating uniform regulations with tributes to Michael Vick during last week's Monday night game.
After scoring a touchdown, White displayed a "Free Mike Vick" T-shirt under his jersey.
He, along with tight end Alge Crumpler and cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall and Chris Houston, were fined $10,000 each. Crumpler, Hall and Houston all wore black eye strips with written tributes to Vick, which the league called "displaying an unauthorized personal message."

has the NFL every heard of "freedom of speech"....if this was brought to court the players would win
They would lose, this is not a freedom speach of issue. Freedom of speach is speach protected from Governmental interference.
They work for the NFl and the NFl can limit public speach of its employees, just like your employer can in regards to the Corporation. The NFL does not approve of players supporting a convicted felon, one convicted cruel crime that the public reacts to. The NFL is in its rights to protect its image.

Re: Five Falcons fined for displaying Vick messages
Nice job! I was disgusted when I saw Roddy White show off that shirt that said "Free Michael Vick" Vick is a piece of **** that beat and killed dogs for fun. He deserves everything he got. And for those guys to honor him, like a team would honor a fallen teammate was really pathetic! No wonder why that team is so bad this year. They still can't get over the piece of **** being their starting QB.
Re: Five Falcons fined for displaying Vick messages
Jesus Mikey sounds like you want the Death Penalty for the guy
The fines are stupid and meant to send a message that is not being well received. The players are free to have their own opinions and express them as such. Who cares what they think, they are payed to play ball, not to express their opinions on criminal issues. Let it go, Vick is in jail where he belongs.
COMING SOON...

Re: Five Falcons fined for displaying Vick messages
Yeah, this is no surprise, the NFL has had uniform regulations in place for years that don't allow for this sort of thing, regardless of the particular situation.
Re: Five Falcons fined for displaying Vick messages
oddly enough the penalty for the Vick shirts was significantly more than the Shoot Em Up shirts the Titans wore in support of Pacman.
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.
