'“He’s a very versatile quarterback,” said Brooks. “The kid can run. He can definitely sling the ball around. He’s one of my favorite quarterbacks – I loved playing with Tyrod. He always gave us a good look. Whenever we faced a good running quarterback, he always got us prepared. Most of the time, he was doing it better than they did.”'

'There’s physical evidence to support the arrest report, too. Corey Dobridnia, the Walton County Sheriff’s public affairs coordinator, said in a press conference that the alleged victim had “some swelling and some bruising” to the left side of his face when deputies responded. She added that the ages of the victims would not be publicized until the case went to court and it becomes “public knowledge.”'

'The news release from the Air Force Reserve’s 914th Airlift Wing did not explain why Ryan decided to jump from an airplane, which, veterans of the practice can tell you, is even scarier than the Bills’ quarterback depth chart. NFL head coaches don’t routinely jump out of airplanes, and it’s difficult to imagine a coaching legend such as Bill Belichick doing so.'

'Then again, if I’m the Bills, I’d elect to turn Kromer’s indefinite paid vacation into a permanent firing with the appropriate parting gifts and avoid this public relations mess all together. Hey, he’s an offensive line coach, not an All-Pro quarterback or defensive end.'

'While Kromer is suspended, assistant offensive line coach Kurt Anderson is the next man up to fill his spot. The Bills open training camp on July 31 at St. John Fisher College.'

'The two-day show, which takes place at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Stations, begins Saturday and is open to the public. The show is the first of its kind at the base since 2011, when an estimated 150,000 came to witness the performances.'

'The Beirut-born adult film star, a Florida State University student who was recently named the most popular performer on PornHub, shared the conversation and warned her 660,000 followers that "Trespassers in my DM's will be shot and hung out to dry in public." She similarly called out the rapper Drake in January for sending her "cringeworthy" messages on Instagram.'

'The ‘One Buffalo’ teams each have a prominent employee —a Sabres player and Bills assistant coach — facing charges for crimes of stupidity.'

'"I know it's been 15 years since the Bills made the playoffs," Ryan said. "Well get ready, man, we're going. We are going."'

'An arrest report released this week says the boy told deputies that Kromer threatened to kill his family if he reported the incident.'

'The Golden Knights have been around for more than 55 years. The team is one of three authorized Department of Defense aerial demonstration teams. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels are the others.'

'The 15-year NFL coach was hired by the Bills in January after spending the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears.'

'In a statement issued Sunday, the Walton County Sheriff's office said Kromer and son Zachary were fishing on Saturday when they confronted three boys over beach chairs. Kromer is alleged to have hit one of the boys in the face after throwing a fishing pole into the water. According to the sheriff's report, Kromer then threatened to kill the boy's family if he reported the incident to authorities.'

'The question isn't whether Watkins will produce. It's whether he will emerge as one of the best at his position, ultimately proving worthy of the exorbitant price the Bills paid to trade up for him.'

'“We have been in regular discussions with the league office and have decided to place Aaron on indefinite paid administrative leave in accordance with the league’s Personal Conduct Policy while we continue to work our way through the investigative process with the league.”'
