‘The Buffalo Bills have shopped Spikes and are down to talking to two of three teams, general manager Marv Levy said Sunday at the NFL annual meeting at the Arizona Biltmore. Cincinnati is not one of them.’

‘Thomas briefly returned to pro football when then-Bills head coach Gregg Williams persuaded him to join his staff. The job lasted three seasons, but the move to Buffalo ended up leading him to the schools project.’
