‘”The thing about Andre was when he was inside, it didn’t matter if it was an 8-yard pass or a 12-yard pass, it was about his effectiveness running after the catch,” Jim Kelly said. “The workout ethic he had, the strength he had – that was Andre’s trademark. He was so good inside nobody could ever bump him, nobody could ever touch him.”‘

Former Bills return for ‘business trip’
‘Each has been worth every penny. In his two-plus seasons with Minnesota, Winfield has averaged 100 tackles per year and has nine interceptions (he had seven total with Buffalo). Last week against Chicago, he notched 10 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown. Williams, a premier run-stuffer, led Vikings defensive linemen in tackles last year with 88, including nine for losses, and was mentioned for the Pro Bowl. This year, he has 13 tackles and two quarterback pressures. Surrounded by scores of other big names, the ex-Bills are part of a Vikings defense that ranks 12th in yards, 10th against the run, fifth in the red zone, seventh on third down, and 11th in points allowed.’
Clintons plan to attend Bills game against Vikings
‘Sen. Clinton “has been wanting to go to a Bills game for quite some time,” said spokeswoman Jennifer Hanley. Sunday will be the first time Sen. Clinton has attended a Bills game, she said.’
On and on
‘On former Bills President Tom Donohoe: “He didn’t know what he was doing. He messed everything up, getting rid of all the good players. He was doing the same thing in Pittsburgh he was doing in Buffalo – messing it up. He was there five years. He messed it up five years.”
On former Bills coach Mike Mularkey: “He was a joke, too. That’s why he ain’t there, either.”‘
