‘Wilson, 60, won the U.S. Tennis Association’s 60-and-older singles and doubles national indoor titles in August and has won five major tournaments this season. She is presently ranked No. 2 nationally in singles and third in doubles in the age division.’

‘While Buffalo has never played in Mexico, there is no shortage of Bills fans in the country.’

‘After three straight road games to start the season, the Saints will get a week that resembles a home game — at least in terms of preparation — when they face the Buffalo Bills.’

‘Mike Williams and Coy Wire are still not at practice this week. Mike Mularkey said on Friday he’ll see how they are on Sunday. Williams hasn’t practiced in two weeks so I’d be shocked to see him in uniform.’

‘As for the outcome, it all depends on whether the Buffalo Buffalo’s passing game can exploit the Saints’ depleted secondary, and if Buffalo’s run defense can actually stop someone for a change. However, if the Saints defense and running game step up, it should be an easy day for them in Texas.’

‘Pat Williams’ name has popped up often since the Buffalo Bills’ defense got run over by Tampa Bay and Atlanta. Edwards has yet to make anyone forget about Williams, who went to Minnesota via free agency.’

‘Both players said they were feeling better this week and hope to be closer to top form on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.’

‘If not for the Bledsoe deal, I think the Bills probably would have signed Jeff Blake as the starter for 2002.’

‘”We’re confident that by the end of the year, when you look at the stats, we won’t be where we are now,” Gray said.’

‘What’s especially disappointing for Losman is the fact most of his former Green Wave teammates were going to be on hand. Tulane coach Chris Scelfo was planning on giving the team the day off to see their former leader run the Bills’ offense — Tulane was scheduled to play Southeast Louisiana in the Superdome on Saturday.’

‘The NFL lifted the blackout on the Buffalo-New Orleans game Sunday at the Alamodome, allowing the San Antonio CBS affiliate to carry the contest.’

‘"Me personally, being a middle linebacker, when an opponent rushes over 100 yards I take it personal," said London Fletcher. "That’s what I do, stop the run. There was a 60-yard run right before the half [against Atlanta] that you just can’t have. That’s unacceptable."’

‘Bills receiver Roscoe Parrish, who suffered an injury to his right wrist in training camp last month, is still two to three weeks away from being ready to play, Buffalo coach Mike Mularkey said Thursday.’

‘Saints 24, Bills 21.’
