I love it. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else right now.”‘

‘As for supplements, they are exactly what the name suggests, Allaire says: “They supplement your normal eating habits if you are missing something in your diet. But don’t use it as a meal. The Bills’ use of supplements, he adds, “are very minimal — nutrition bars and that’s pretty much the extent of it — because the diet program we’re on has everything.”‘

‘”In a lot of ways we’re proud of the fact that this has become sort of blue print for NFL training camps,” said Bills Vice President for Communications Scott Berchtold.’

‘”One of the compelling things that made me excited about coming back to the Buffalo Bills was our fans, they’re incomparable,” Levy said. “There are no fans anywhere like the Buffalo Bill fans and these fellars are going to find it out,” Levy said.’

‘Nall was hurt during 11-on-11 drills, while running the offense he was under heavy rush and forced to change direction. Following the play he came up limping.’
