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

I liken the whole city of Tampa to Satan's gooch. Nothing but strip malls of the same stores over and over again, the food is as bland as a lunch from a hospital cafeteria, and the people there are either senior citizens or backwards white trash.
On a side note, my sister was transfered to Tampa for 5 years back in the 1980's and hated it there. She transfered back to WNY when an opening popped up. I must admit I wasn't impressed with the area. Looked like a warmer Ghetto.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
I have a buddy that lived in Tampa and he hated the place. Total **** hole according to him.
The whole of Florida is about the same. It's flat as can be and the rep it has for being so beautiful is undeserved in my opinion. We went on a cruise last year on a lark and shipped out of Canaveral. Cocoa Beach (you know, I Dream Of Jeanie) is disgusting. And we went to St. Augustine last winter. Not much better (though I did find a Buffalo bar with the Sabres game on).
Boomer Esiason once said that the three teams he played for- Cincy, AZ and NYJ were the "Bermuda Triangle of the NFL," but all of those teams have been better than Buffalo lately. We used to be able to say "at least we're not Cleveland or Detroit," but Detroit has stepped it up, and on the field we've been as bad as Cleveland (and they had to start over from scratch just 10 years ago).
Looking at the past 12 years, where is an NFL player least likely to have a good coach? Buffalo. Where is an NFL player least likely to get a big contract, either as a FA or being re-signed? Buffalo. Where is an NFL player least likely to win? Buffalo (longest active playoff drought in the league). So if Schiano or someone else is going to make a crack about shipping players off to a garbage team, guess who's at the top of the list?
I know, I'm not saying anything new here. I know, I'm repeating all the negative stuff that we already know. But here's the point: don't get pissed at Schiano or anyone else for taking shots at the team. Get pissed at Ralph, Russ Brandon and Buddy Nix for creating a situation where this team is the easy and logical target.
I visited Tampa once it was a nice place from what I saw.
Is anybody really taking Schiano seriously? This is same ass hat that forced his DL to bullrush the NYG when Eli was trying to take a knee.
I wonder what's up with him. I didn't study his career, so to speak, when he was at Rutgers. IIRC, he was well-thought of there, and had a good reputation around the Big East conference. Seems like this NFL gig has swelled his head - dunno.
Also, is anyone surprised? The Bills are the joke of the NFL. It's only going to get worse with the idiot GM at the top and Failey as the head coach.
Not a surprise, and you could even say it's well earned. This team has been bad for such a long time period that a lot of people outside of being a Bills fan just don't understand how this team even has a fan base to speak about. JMO
