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!
Belichick runs Kraft though, so Belichick runs the NFL. Except Josh McDaniels seems to run Belichick, and Brady runs McDaniels, and where would Brady be without Edelman.
Julian Edelman runs the NFL.
Edelman routinely runs by my Aunt Dana's doughnut shop during his workouts, occasionally asking my Uncle Steve how he keeps in such great shape at age 67. Uncle Steve feeds him the same Winston Churchill line every time "Blood sweat and toil". Between 1924 and 1929 Churchill was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Baldwin'sConservative.
Outside of NE the NFL has a serious PR problem. There may be nothing to this but the NFL once was all about protecting the shield and this commissioner seems to have forgotten that
At least the CFL is still about the game , not money and power.
Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

if you want to boycott, you boycott the top 20 advertisers for the NFL. and you let them know that you won't support them while they support a corrupt league.
and you point out that they'll fine the wrong cleats and a TD celebration within minutes, but for beaters and cheaters, it takes forever to know what the league's stance on it.
additionally, at some point, vegas should close down their gambling books next season for hte first week and see how the nfl likes that. They should say, "we set the lines on a fair game, and the nfl doesn't provide that. so we leave ourselves exposed to huge losses. no thanks."
those are the things that will get the nfl nervous, especially if people actually followed throuhg. but they won't.
though i am surprised the sponsors haven't jumped on this for publicity. they did it during ray rice and got some concessions. would think this is a good time to pile on.

It will be interesting to see the backlash at the game. I'm sure some extra boos will be fairly audible.
My point is the other owners may actually open their mouth during the off-season at the meetings and tell Kraft,Goodell they are not pleased with the public focusing on them and believing they represent the general thinking of all the owners. They went through enough with Rice and other issues already and don't need any lingering beliefs that something is wrong with the product and actual integrity of operating as an honest game. I'd be VERY concerned, if I was one of the other owners.
