‘Never in my wildest dreams did I think the League would schedule a division game in Toronto, especially the Dolphins. I thought for sure it would have been San Francisco mainly because, and this is not to disrespect the 49ers, it would have been a less significant game. The game here is obviously going to sell out. They could have taken any horrible team and put them in the opponent’s spot; there would still be 54,000 butts in the seats.’

Bills could wait and still improve at tight end
‘Even if there aren’t many positively superhuman tight ends available this year, there should be some quite capable ones left after the Bills have already picked a player. Tight end should be their first inclination when their second turn to choose arises.’
Something to cheer about
‘Lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan Anna Tweney-MacKenzie better get used to cheering for the right team. The St. Catharines teen just made the cut for this year’s Buffalo Jills – the cheerleading squad egging on the likes of Buffalo Bills players Trent Edwards and Lee Evans on the gridiron.’

‘So what SHOULD they do in the first round? Contrary to what a lot of folks think, I’m betting the Bills will go after a cornerback, which is a “must” position to have when facing Tom Brady twice each season. Rogers Cromartie of Tennessee St., Mike Jenkins of South Florida and Leodis McKelvin of Troy could all start right now.’
