Paula Drew and Mayor Sedita?
Paula Drew the actress? (guess they are all actors now) What did she have to do with Buffalo? Sedita was introduced to Ralph Wilson when he was looking for a city to locate his football franchise. He was so impressed Wilson didn't visit any other places. The rest is history!! Go Bills!

I almost wrote Santoras as well. The one on Main Street in Williamsville was a high school hangout. Played ball in the Joe McCarthy league, the fields were way out in the country at the time, can't remember the name. They did have a cup on top of the right feild pole, if you hit a ball in there, you won something. Irv Weinstein passed away some years ago I believe. Rick Azar is retired.

Although the article mentions the sack differential, nothing was said about the turnover differential. If the Bills can go in the range of plus 12 to plus 15 next year, the wins will come. This stat is always overlooked, and can turn a .500 team into a very good one.
