‘”(This is) the first time I’ve ever been away from football that long,” McIntyre said. “I’m a Bill, that’s why I want to be here right now. This is my team, so I’m going to be here.”‘

‘Evans, Butler and Corto spoke about their individual experiences and the importance of parks and playgrounds, and happily signed autographs and took pictures until all the kids were taken care of.’

‘In this particular arena, TO has more in common with Britney Spears than Lee Evans.’

‘”Once you get to this level, if you’re still nervous, you’re still lacking confidence in your own abilities, you need to stay in school. I think that mentally, I did a pretty good job of preparing myself just for the change in pace.”‘

‘Considering the difficulty of Buffalo’s schedule and the misfortune of playing in the same division as New England, the New York Jets and Miami, the Bills look like a very solid under play.’

‘The good news for Edwards is that there is a way to keep Owens happy: Make sure T.O. gets the ball all the time, win no fewer than 11 games, make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. The bad news is the Bills have as much chance of attaining any of those goals as I have of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature.’

‘”You can see how (Owens) and Lee (Evans) are going to work together,” said Donte Whitner following the first week of OTAs. “(Owens) makes a play and then you can come back and go to Lee Evans. We had single coverage on the outside and he we have a good running game, so I’m excited to see those guys work against some other competition.”‘

‘He’s gearing up for his third season in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, and this year one of his teammates will be another former Penn State standout. The Bills selected Lion defensive end Aaron Maybin in the first round of the draft in April. "I know what type of kid Aaron is," said Posluszny, who was a senior at PSU during Maybin’s redshirt year. "He’s an unbelievably hard worker, a Penn State guy, so it was great to see that we were going to draft him."’

‘Kelly won’t make the call whether head coach Dick Jauron will stay or go. But after three straight 7-9 seasons under Jauron and no playoffs for nine years running, Kelly sees this as a make-or-break year for the Bills’ coaching staff.’

‘The reasons the Bills might consider adding Vick to their roster are…’.

‘I believe signing Vick would sell even more season tickets. Some people might try to cancel with a dog-killer on the team, but I think many more people would take their place.’

”He feels good and he doesn’t have any aches right now. Obviously, during the season, everybody’s got aches,’ Jauron said. ‘He doesn’t have that constant aching that he’s had, so it frees him up and he’s taking advantage of it so far, he’s just got to keep doing it.”

‘The station doesn’t need both Murphy and Peck on the road to cover the Bills in this economy and Peck may be needed to anchor 6 p. m. Sunday sportscasts when the Bills have home games that will be carried on Fox.’

‘T.O. is undeserving of the red-carpet treatment that the city has laid out for him, he said. “And since you gave him the key to the city, you better be ready to change the locks and throw down a restraining order.”‘

‘”There was a lot of thought put into that and it’s to get our best five out there to give us the best chance to win,” said Bills offensive line coach Sean Kugler. “We thought that was our best option to do that. I think Brad sees that it will benefit us as a team and benefit him also.”‘
