‘Bills alumni in attendance were Al Bemiller, Mark Brammer, Hilton Crawford, Bob Dugan, Booker Edgerson, Will Fowler, Harry Jacobs, Joe Kulbacki, Marlo Perry, Ed Rutkowski and David White.

‘”Obviously there’s talent on this team,” defensive end Chris Kelsay said. “Is there enough talent? [Wilson] obviously doesn’t think so. He’s been around football for a long time, so he’s obviously seen talent and knows when we have it and when we’re lacking it. You’ve got to respect him and his opinions.”‘

‘The club, which has been in existence for 15 years, will donate about $3,500 to local children’s organizations Sunday. They typically donate between $3,000 and $4,000 each year. The Buffalo Bills Backers have helped out Toys for Tots, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Do the Right Thing and For the Love of Kids. They’ve also helped out the Giving Tree and Special Olympics. If only the NFL players themselves behaved like these local Backers.’
