Two Bills Drive

‘“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, actually,” Williams said. “Football is always my first love, then lacrosse. My dad always loved football, always pushed me to be the best football player I could be growing up, since like four or five. So, I knew I always wanted to come back to it. So, this is kind of my chance.”’

‘A smaller college footprint could well find a trail to the severely diminished McKinley Mall, just a few miles away in the Town of Hamburg. The mall offers thousands of square feet of vacant space which could be expediently refurbished and rented at a reasonable rate to ECC.’

‘For the second consecutive year, Gray met with The Buffalo News for more than an hour to pull the curtain back on the Bills’ draft process. Which players did he see play in-person? How many of the draft picks had private workouts and/or made a visit to Orchard Park? What did the Bills glean from their interviews with the eventual selections?’

‘The best-case scenario for the Bills is Coleman provides great value in those first three years and the two sides work out a contract extension. If that doesn’t happen, but the Bills still want to keep him around after his four-year contract is up, they can always use the franchise tag. That is more expensive that the fifth-year option would be, but it would virtually guarantee Coleman stays with the team for that fifth season.’

‘It’s been five years this month since Castro, a man of gentle and healthy discipline who worked as a mortician and didn’t smoke or drink, died in Texas from fast-moving cancer, at 39. Borjon, who expects she’ll always struggle with his absence, said it’s difficult to believe it’s been that long. She’ll often turn on videos of Castro with their kids just to be sure they never forget his voice.’
