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!
Here’s a huge factor (literally) that plays into the large NFL player failure rate
I would've loved to have dedicated myself to this, had I had the body for college/pro ball.
This ^ and these kids are getting paid a great sum of money to learn. As an air traffic controller we are required to learn the rules governing air traffic written by lawyers that's as big or bigger than that playbook, not to mention the 20-50 letters of agreement with adjacent facilities and airports, many approaches to the main airport or satellite airports (depending on the airport they are at) and a 100 other things and for a whole lot less money.
No as far as I'm concerned if they aren't dedicated enough to learn a playbook, screw them.

These kids ain't all brain surgeons.
It takes years of study to become an air traffic controller. They aren't all required to be an ace student to play football.
IMO, if you’re making millions of dollars to play a game, you should be expected to know the playbook, front to back.
Yep. Unfortunately most of these kids are not to smahhhht and get slid through their “education” until they hit the NFL due to their lucrative on field abilities thereby creating a huge gap between expectations and reality.
“It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”
"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.

When I started 75% were ex military with high school degrees, some had college and some just had work experience. Yes it takes about two years to certify, but no air traffic experience or training when we started. Unlike these rookies that have been playing football since they were 6 years old. I’m just saying it’s a lot for them to learn, but it’s their job.
