Two Bills Drive

Polian will have the honor of presenting the venerable 76-year-old former coach into Canton. For what he accomplished and for how long he lasted, Levy — much like Hannibal — also deserves to go down in history as one of the greatest field generals of all time.

Bills fans were turned away at area Wegmans supermarkets this morning after the tickets went quickly. Although several thousand were available, they had to be divided among several Wegmans stores.

Some fans are accusing certain Wegmans stores of handing out tickets early; others say it was a computer glitch. Wegmans is working on a way to rectify the situation.

After holding a Monday night practice in front of 4,838 at St. John Fisher’s Growney Stadium, the Bills sold out the August 6 night practice in just one hour Tuesday morning.

Defensive tackle Mike Lodish, who played in an NFL-record six Super Bowls including two with the Denver Broncos and four with the Buffalo Bills, is retiring after 11 years in the NFL.

Former Buffalo LB John Holecek, one of the most sought-after free agents, has agreed to a one-year deal with San Diego.

Agent Brian Kelley on Thursday confirmed to FOXSports.com that Holecek, released by the Bills in a cost-cutting move, chose the Chargers over the NJ Jets and Colts. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is believed to be worth an estimated $1.2 million.

"Right off the bat, it was an enthusiastic crowd and it was a good change for our team," coach Gregg Williams said following. "The crowd pumped us up in the first part of practice when things are a little bit sore, a little bit tight…"

"The D line was really coming off tonight that’s where we saw the speed when I see that speed coming off the pass rush from a defensive perspective and I like what I saw and I also liked how they practiced against each other interior wise material wise they could of really rocked and rolled back into Rob’s feet tonight or Alex’s feet and they didn’t do that so they are learning how to practice against each other."

‘In what surely will be recorded as one of local radio’s oddest contests, the WEDG (103.3 The Edge) radio duo of Shredd and Ragan have kicked off "Who’s the Biggest Bills Fan?" competition, in which five locals go head to head – or in this case belly to belly – to see who can gain the most weight in a 30-day period, which started last Thursday.’

‘The Buffalo Bills’ outside linebacker was a bit stunned to see his team had cut inside linebacker John Holecek. As a result, a starting position virtually fell into Foreman’s lap.’

‘PLB Sports, the Pittsburgh-based marketing company that dreamed up Flutie Flakes during the diminutive quarterback’s run with the Bills, reports a flood of Internet orders from area residents for the newest rendition of the breakfast cereal. Never mind that Super Charged Flutie Flakes feature Flutie decked out in San Diego Chargers gear on the blue and gold-striped box…’.

‘The NFL and ABC didn’t schedule the Buffalo Bills for any "Monday Night Football" games this year. So the Bills made their own.’

‘The Bills will have another nighttime practice next Monday. Tickets are available at any area Wegmans beginning today. There are only 4,000 tickets available–they are free but with a limit of four per person.’

‘Head Coach Gregg Williams wanted the practice to be as close to game like conditions as possible and after an autograph session, the players were introduced just like it was a game.’

‘”Marv knew exactly the right words to say at the right times,” Kelly recalled. “He knew how to handle the players, and everybody would do anything to help him and the team.”‘

‘"I thought it was nice the way they lined up for the autographs, they didn’t do that last year," said Peck. "They gave enough time for the players to do the autographs, so it was well organized, well put together. I’ll be coming back."’
