‘The Buffalo Bills’ “Memorabilia Collectors Club” plans to hold its first-ever event on this Saturday, April 2 in the Paul Maguire Club at Ralph Wilson Stadium from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.’

‘Here’s the reality: The Bills probably won’t see a better offer. The market for running backs is too soft.’

‘”But I’ve learned a lot. I think it’s been a little smoother this year with a staff in place and you’ve got a system in place. You have a better idea of how you want to do things. There are even some tweaks and some things we’re going to do in training camp that will be easier to put together than it was last year doing it for the first time.”‘

‘After the 1985 season, Delamielleure was forced from the game, primarily because he couldn’t add weight to his 260-pound frame. “I was very bitter; 260 got me into the Hall of Fame, and all of a sudden it’s not big enough to play,” he said. “No matter how hard I worked out, I couldn’t get bigger than that. That last year I was barely hanging on. And guys were cheating but nothing was done until a couple of years later.”‘

‘In conjunction with the busy week, the LSU coaches will also host a football coaches clinic from Thursday through Saturday. In addition to Miles, LSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, new defensive coordinator Bo Pelini and special teams coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto will be featured speakers. Buffalo Bills special teams coach Bobby April will be the keynote speaker at the clinic, which will be held at the Sheraton Hotel Atrium.’

‘”When I walk away from the game, I won’t think of it as the end of my career,” Troy Vincent says. “I’ve been looking at different alternatives since the day I was drafted, making sure I kept balanced. I didn’t want to be caught off guard.”‘
