‘"I have been doing everything I can to make sure this team is ready for training camp," Mularkey said. "I am working with just as many non-football issues as I am with football. It’s a change but I can handle it."’

‘However, there is an important date for Bills’ fans. Saturday marks the first time they can buy individual tickets for games at “The Ralph.” They’re available beginning at 9 a.m.. online at www.buffalobills.com, by calling 1-877-BBTICKS, or by visiting the Ralph Wilson Stadium ticket office or participating Tops Friendly Markets.’

‘We are looking for fans to submit a title for this new program. If your title is selected, you will win a 2004 Buffalo Bills Official Team Yearbook and a Lawyer Milloy autographed mini-helmet. The winning entry could be the title of this program for years to come so don’t miss out on your chance to have your named stamped in the Bills history book.’

“We do feel there are problems that can be solved without resulting in an ejection,” a story in the Buffalo News quoted Donohoe as saying. We don’t know what Donohoe has in mind for the troublemakers if he’s not going to eject them. Perhaps large quanties of black coffee?

‘"No. 1, I can raise my hand every time he starts to screw up like I did 20 years ago and tell him, ‘Nope, it won’t work.’ One thing I don’t want to do, though, is be the guy who is constantly running down the hall and telling him what to do. When he wants a sounding board, I can be that and in the heat of everything, it is nice to have someone to observe and to remind him of some things he needs to do." – Bills QB coach Sam Wyche, the popular ex-Bengals head coach, describing his role on Mike Mularkey’s staff.’
