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

I call those guys "Pretador" all the time. If you've seen the Schwarzenegger movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. "You're one ugly mother****er." Of course, some people may call me a racist here because I just referred to them as "those guys," so you can't really win. But they ARE "those guys," who else would they be? Just identifying a particular demographic...you can also refer to great people as "those guys" or "those people."
Disliking a hairstyle does not a racist make. Funny how there should be a question about that, but there is to lots of people. Like it's an issue that needs to be tiptoed around.
True story. I was talking to a black woman at the bar in a casino this past Christmastime...I'm certain she was a prostitute (and not because she was black), but hey, I try not to discriminate. Anyway, I'm talking to her, and somehow the subject of hair came up...perhaps I complimented her on her hair or something. Don't remember...and no, I wasn't gonna be her john or anything like that. I wasn't. So I say "the thing about black people's hair is..." and she says "shhhh," trying to stop me. There were other black people around. Like the subject is off-limits somehow. Somebody might be offended. But it's just hair for crying out loud. I don't think you have to be a scientist or barber to be allowed to talk about it.
Anyway, I went ahead anyway and explained about how black people (especially guys) have limited options in hairstyle choices. They got the natural 'fro going on. They can either go with the 'fro, shave it down, braid it, or go full-out dread. I didn't feel like I was lyin'. Of course, black women can straighten out their hair...I kinda like that. Men pretty much can't do that without looking foolish, in my opinion anyway (unless they go ponytail and can pull that off). That's it. Nobody got offended, and I wasn't lynched.
I don't really care about anybody's hair. I just laughed when that guy got tackled by his hair, so in that sense I'm glad he was a Predator.
You know, Shiva, after watching the Dallas game today, I think you're not guilty on the racism charge. The two white receivers, Cooper for Philly and Cole Beasley for the 'Girls, looked every bit as ridiculous with their 1970s rock band mullets as the black guys with dreads do.
Starting a thread complaining about guys having long hair is as old farty as it gets. Race has nothing to do with it as there are lots of white guys out there with long hair as well. Enjoy your turkey and football friends.
Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind.

Bingo. Saw and thought the same thing. Riley Cooper should put an end to the question.

My favorite play this year was that idiot Jet running back getting hauled down behind the line of scrimmage BY HIS HAIR.
Cu2, IMO this hair thing has gotten beyond ridiculous to the point you not only can't see the guy's name on the back of their jersey, with some guys its even tough to see their NUMBER.
Now, I'm sure there's some sort of ****ing cultural significance to trailing around a yard of dreads, but this white guy just thinks it looks stupid. Sammy Watkins and Stephan Gilmore, I'm looking at you.
So sue me.
And the Samoans and Clay Matthews can get haircuts too.
I don't wanna see the first guy who looks like cousin Itt playing on my team...
When I was a kid, one of the things that was most cool about football was the uniforms, and how they transformed ordinary human beings into something that looked superheroic and not quite human. With the pads that made your shoulders look five feet wide and the helmets with the cages and the shoes with the spikes, it was more than just a collection of players on the field, it was a group of future-warriors.
Having long hair hanging out of your helmet destroys that illusion and just makes the game more egotistical, like "I may be making millions of dollars but growing these dreads and having them hang down to my ass is just a shout out to my Nubian warrior/Viking berserker/South seas cannibal heritage!"
I thought it was awesome when Bradham tackled him by the hair. If you wanna have long hair, that's fine, but don't whine when someone tackles you by it.
I think it looks s@@t. I laughed. No real man is that obsessed with his hair. But I agree with you, if you want long hair, fine, but
don't whine when somebody tackles you by it.
