‘”I’ve always been vocal and always spoken honestly and I think over the years that has gotten me in trouble and created some sort of division in the locker room with some of the guys on the team. I just try to do the right thing now. (But) even when I try to do the right thing, it’s not the right thing. I’m in a no-win situation. So I just try to be the best I can be without offending someone.”‘

‘Bills, 20-17.’

‘"Any Terrell Owens is a dangerous Terrell Owens, and I mean that," said Sparano, who was on the Cowboys staff with Owens in 2006 and ’07. "I’ve been around Terrell for a few years and from a practice standpoint, from a preparation standpoint, and his approach to the game, I know exactly what he’s doing right now. And he’s a pretty rock-solid guy, so whether he’s angry or whether he’s not angry, he gets the ball in his hands, he’s a dangerous guy."’

‘At this point in his career, he should embrace that and realize that’s just who he is, and that’s who he always will be. Some people will resent him for it, but perception is reality far too often in this world and he’s stuck with it.’

‘The former first-round pick had started in all three games this season and had 11 tackles and one pass defensed. The Bills selected McKelvin with their first-round pick in 2008, and he has become a premier return man in the league, averaging 28.2 yards last season and 24.2 yards this season on kick returns.’

‘McKelvin had been ruled out indefinitely after breaking his leg in the first half of a 27-7 loss to New Orleans on Sunday. The 2008 first-round draft pick becomes the seventh Bills player to be placed on injured reserve this season.’

‘After the league granted the Bills a three-day roster exemption on Monday, Marshawn Lynch was officially placed back on the team’s 53-man roster Thursday. However, to make room for the running back the team placed injured cornerback Leodis McKelvin on injured reserve ending his 2009 season.;

‘Defensive tackle Kyle Williams also returned Thursday, but on a limited basis. He missed Wednesday’s practice because of a groin injury.’

‘”Still the same old me,” Lynch said. “Ain’t going to change.”‘

‘Bills 16, Dolphins 13.’

‘”You just watch the preseason film, get a feel what they like to do with him,” defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said. “You’re not always right, but try to be close as you possibly can be.”‘

‘About 1,500 Bills fans and Buffalo lovers are expected to descend on Shooters Waterfront Cafe USA in Fort Lauderdale, starting at 6 p. m. Saturday.’

‘Miami gave up touchdown passes of 80 and 48 yards to Indianapolis in Week Two. At San Diego on Sunday, the Chargers hit them for completions of 30, 47 and 55 yards.’

‘McGee, the team’s top cornerback, is the last man standing. Last year in Miami, he was standing on one leg. McGee rushed back into the lineup from a knee sprain and the lowly Ted Ginn Jr. torched him for 175 yards in the Dolphins’ 25-16 comeback win.’

‘Bills coach Dick Jauron acknowledged Scott’s injury is "more like a high ankle" sprain, which is more serious than a regular sprain and can last numerous weeks.’
