WELCOME, PFT PLANET
After a looooong and frustrating day featuring ongoing attempts (unsuccessful) to deal with a crushing demand, our friends at NBCSports.com have let us crash on their couch. (We're even allowed to use the facilities, as long as it's only "number one.")
We'll be posting content here on a temporary basis until we solve the issues with our normal online digs. Which could be like a year.
So thanks, NBC, for hooking us up. We promise to make references to NBC shows only. (Then again, we pretty much already do.)
Thanks also to SportingNews.com, which continues to host the PFT safe-haven page at profootballtalk.sportingnews.com. We've authorized SportingNews.com to use any/some/all of the posts we drop here, and the page also has news and analysis from Albert Breer, Clifton Brown, and Vinnie Iyer of SportingNews.com.
Finally, a minor housekeeping matter, unrelated to cleaning up after misadventures with "number one." There's no "continue" button at the bottom of the page, so to get the stuff beyond the last entry, you'll need to hit the February archives link.

come on peeps, let's crash nbc!!!!
>;]
hey mike, i actually like the layout here. nice and comfy. any chance this becomes the new home of PFT?
I dont get it, PFT has had some VERY busy times over the last year. Why all the problems now? Free agency cant be worse than the draft, spygate, or other huge times can it?
I think we now know what happened to the hamster running our server...............

NBC enters PFT take over bidding war, PFT obtains gerbil. PFT hampster's future in doubt, still on life support.
here's some interesting pics:

Hey Florio, you need to raise hell and get a refund on your server fees. Then hire a real host. You're big time now, get your act together!
How hard is it to be prepared for high traffic? Ridiculous!!! You have had problems every time a big news story hits the NFL. Get it together and by some damn bandwidth!!! You guys are hacks, other websites don't have this problem
Pray for the server to uphold the bandwidth.
I just stayed at National Football Post all day. They have REAL football guys over there, unlike PFT who just uses the cut and paste method of journalism.
Glad you guys crashed.
NFP is going to dominate you guys in the future.
I think if everyone on PFT Planet sent Florio a Hamster in the mail, we'd be set. SO go forth PFT Planet, Florio needs Hamsters, by the 100s and 1000s!!
I will never forgive you for this Florio. This isome real amateur stuff right here Mike. You spent the last two weeks talking about how important today was and then you blew it. Sort of the like the Cowboys since the mid-90's
I wish Tiffany Simons was a PFT contributor. At least on pic of the day.
Maybe Florio should spend some money on a server instead of wasting it on hair gel and stupid antics like the "Turd Watch"
I am sold on national Football Post. See ya scrubs!
You know the problem? It's Sprint. You got hooked up with them, and then your site became roughly as reliable as their cell service. Coincidence? I think not. Well done.
nfp? really? see you losers later then....hopefully not though.
Florio...is there truth behind this Cassel to the Bucs rumor that Schefter reported?
This site is a train wreck on the Mac.
Hey Florio, do you know when PFT will be up and running again?
Wow Florio, Your websites go down more often the the prostitute next door.
Hey florio, you retard!
How about paying for some decent hosting service?!?!?!
YOur name should be Florenstein not Florio!!
Man, Florio. I really hope that these problems with the servers have put you in a tough spot by spreading your content out over three sites (thus creating less page views, and less money for your pay per click ads). Get the old thing up soon!
The guy who said this is a trainwreck on a mac is right. And the guy who said you need a refund on your hosting is right. Maybe you should even sue them for the lost ad revenue.
HAVEN'T. Sorry, I'm not the journalist here.
Then again, all I have to say to undermine your journalistic integrity is say two words...
Terry Bradshaw.
Florio-
How many other websites are you going to beg to let you throw up your useless crap that you can very easily get from any newspaper in the country...
Rough day dude. Maybe it is time to admit that you are just a hack.
Oh yeah, heard you on Fox Sports Radio the other day. Nice job avoiding any questions that related to the draft. You're a complete idiot dude.
Hey Floria, instead of a days without arrest meter how about a days without server crash meter?
What a disappointment. I hate this news organization and will NOT frequent here again until the old site is restored. Thanks for nothing.
Use firefox on the mac... i use that and have no problems... haven't used safari in over a year.
what a bunch of whiny ass pussies. jesus christ, stfu and gtfo if you don't like what's being posted you little shits.
typical for the eagles to lwt him go. im sure tra is next. i bet andy has some byu players lined up! welcome back reno!
Are you kidding me? Dawkins playing his last years for another team?? Eagles fans, ask yourself, "who really is our team leader". If this happens, did our management team go to a "Heads up our ASS meeting" If so, they leaned a lot. I for one, "WOULD GIVE UP MY SEASON TICKETS" Anyone interested?
I am truly appalled that NBC agreed to allow these comments on one of their blogs.
This is awful.
this makes me weep. it's a sad, sad day for the counter culture. this just doesn't feel right.
I've been trying to become a Super Bowl champ for 5 months. I guess I'll forever be a head coach.
do you think some pimply face 15 year old computer genius is crashing your site on purpose? completely plausible, isn't it?
I WANNA GO HOME AND I WANNA GO HOME NOW!
now PFT.com is all kinds of effed up.
Very disappointed in PFT and Florio. Very amateurish like others have said. This just shouldn't happen when you've gotten to the point that PFT has gotten to. Sad and pathetic to be honest.
can someone please rate my comments? I feel so empty without it.
it was nice of nbc to do this, but this sucks. it just feels like any other douchey web site. I don't feel a part of this. I hope you don't take your sweet ol time trying to figure this out florio.
get on it! just imagine all the wonderful tyson, fat loss, sprint, and all our other partners' ad dollars just disappearing!
(on a different note, 10 hot blondes just walked by my store and went to the bar. them are some floozy broads hittin the bar at 6:30. but that's how I like my broads)
Come on guys - time to step up your game....how can your site not be working on the biggest day for the NFL fans?
I don't root for my home team. I would glady nibble on Tony Romo's ear lobes though. He is flaky but handsome as the day is long.
This site is a trainwreck on the iPhone too
I am an a-hole!
Florio. Go to www.inetu.net. Sure, they're expensive but we run our servers from there and while it costs 1K a month it NEVER EVER goes down regardless of load.
How did you not see this comming Florio?
aec4 says.
"NEVER EVER goes down regardless of load."
uummmm....What?
i got scared here for a sec. i thought Qb of the future had created a monster and florio had been bought out by NBC. that would have been a real shame. but if this is jsut temporary [which i really hope it ends up being] then im cool. bc PFT can never go to a giant corp like NBC. they'd make him stop dissing emmitt or something. and to the few tards who think PFT is a "hack" site or its "amateurish", you are imagining things. PFT is the true leading news website for NFL, thats why players coaches and GMs from virtually every team check this site 5x a day. Florio is God.
Mike - recommend you fire your ISP - PRONTO
This is a shame. There, I got that out of my system. Now how about some football news?
Florio, I don't post much but I lurk and rate a lot, but I honestly have to say that today I'm embarrassed for you. It's going to be tough to live this one down. Time you plunk down a little more cash and get some decent bandwidth. You owe that much to you loyal readers.
I'm really starting to get confused. Go here, go there. I think it was MarkB, hope I get it right, that said the other day, you need something that doesn't involve donkey's walking in circles.
Florio, keep your chin up. I still love you. It's a blip in the road but don't let it get you down. Stay true to the path!
Nice of nbc to host us.
What a bunch of whiney poosays. Stuff happens and get over it. Are you still getting all the news he would normally put up over at pft? How do you know its his servers fault, maybe someone is attacking his site. Man, you guys complain and act like assholes even more than florio and thats saying a lot.
I have been inside more young men than the polio vaccine...
...Fact!
"How do you know its his servers fault"
Tough one. Let's see if we can figure this out together...
1. Florio wrote about it.
2. We know how to read.
Does that help?
this site sucks if you are using a mac. all of the stories run together.
UNREADABLE.
