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 The Patriots Be Disqualified From The Super Bowl?
This is the STUPIDEST "controversy" in the history of the NFL.
Why is it that ALL the QBs we've heard from have laughed this off?
I thought the NFL was supposed to be a man's league.
Spygate was stupid enough, now Ballgate?
I just hope the Patriots wipe out the Seahawks just so all the haters spend the rest of the year grinding their teeth and beating their dog...
Honest to God, ANYONE that's excited about this should be ashamed of yourselves.
You've totally poisoned the Superbowl out of spite.
Enjoy yourselves whining all game about trivia...
There's a reason why Belichek, Brady and Kraft are consistent winners and most of the rest of the teams are consistent losers and it has nothing to do with cheating...
No No No . you got all wrong jack-a$$ . I hope and all NFL Fans (except Cheater ) want Seahawks wipe out the cheater/spy gate . you are still loser and 100% it still cheater.
Re: Should The Patriots Be Disqualified From The Super Bowl?
Belichick is twisted. He's got a problem. For the sake of the game, he should be banned. In a perfect world, Goodell would disqualify them. But he will likely apply the punishment stated in the rules. What is it? $25k per ball. And that's the evil madness of Belichick. He flouts the edges of the rules, the spirit, the intent to garner a significant advantage over his opponents who play faithfully within the rules.
In a perfect world, the commish would investigate Brady's role. In a perfect world, the investigation would discover the obvious: there's no way in the world that he could not have known and there it is likely it was done with his knowledge if not by his direction. According to a Ravens fan I work with, they noticed the deflated balls too and notified the Colts.
There's a pattern of rule abuse here going back at least 10 years. Fines mean nothing to these guys and they obviously have no regrets having been caught before. Next year, they'll pore through the rule book and look for another crack to slip through. In a perfect world, drastic action would be taken. As others have mentioned, such action might include forced sale, banishment, forfeiture of the whole season, etc.
But it's not a perfect world. Far from it. And here is how it will probably go down...

Even in the "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't competin' world of Nascar/Sprint Cup racing...drivers/teams get fined, suspended, and points taken away when they're caught.
"If you don't cheat, you look like an idiot. If you do it and you don't get caught, you look like a hero. If you do it and get caught, you look like a dope. Put me in the category where I belong,"
~Darrell Waltrip, after getting caught with nitrous oxide in his fuel tank at Daytona.
The times baseball players have been caught with corked bats, they usually got suspended for around 10 games.
I have no idea why the Pats should be exempt from punishment when they get their hand caught in the cookie jar...again.
But I will say, I do enjoy watching the Evil Genius morph into the village idiot when he's caught.

I'm fine with a $25k fine per ball.
Let's see, 11 balls per game...14 seasons...plus 30 playoff games...that's $69.85 Million, let's round it to a cool $70 mil. Write the check, Bill.

Besides the response that showed how Mark Brunell didn't laugh this off. Here's another link that shows you how stupid your argument is, this time from Aikman.

Re: Should The Patriots Be Disqualified From The Super Bowl?
I still do not think Indy should be in the Superbowl. That being said, I am all for the Colts and Ravens --playing for the right to represent the AFC in the Superbowl this weekend. Failing that, because I know it would give Seattle an unfair advantage, I say let the Pats play in the Superbowl but only under the following conditions:
1. Brady and Bellichick cannot be involved in playing, game planning, practice, or participating in any way, shape or form with the game.
2. The Patriots get an asterisk in any media guide or league material to denote that all wins this year are suspect
3. If they win the superbowl they get an asterisk, see 2.
4. If they lose they get an asterisk
5. Seattle gets a 2 point advantage, and gets to return the opening kickoff to start the game.
6. Roger Goodell must appear at Halftime and tender his resignation and beg for the nation's forgiveness for his role in forever tarnishing the reputation of the League.
No No No . you got all wrong jack-a$$ . I hope and all NFL Fans (except Cheater ) want Seahawks wipe out the cheater/spy gate . you are still loser and 100% it still cheater.
Re: Should The Patriots Be Disqualified From The Super Bowl?
Yes, the broke the rules again. I can't see disqualifying them from the Super Bowl. Punishment should come in the forms of fines, draft choices and suspensions.
Re: Should The Patriots Be Disqualified From The Super Bowl?
kinda like the pine tar incident back in the day in baseball or pitchers using spit balls…etc. it's cheating, but not on a disqualifying level like Spygate was.
my thing is if there's rules, why aren't there punishments already in place if those established rules are broken? now it seems like the NFL is making it up as they go.
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
