Two Bills Drive

‘That’s because nearly everyone at the table has a story to tell. This is a football-loving family, from Andy down to his sons Ryan, Aaron and Matt and from Bob to his son Bo. All of them are or were fine players, but Aaron upped the ante in 2001 when he was Buffalo’s second-round draft pick, becoming the first to play in the NFL.’

‘The last time the Cincinnati Bengals played a team led by a quarterback who snubbed them in free agency, there were fireworks. Not so this time.’

Buffalo Bills player with fan of the day.

This summer, Williams is taking a different approach at the Bills' St. John Fisher College camp. He has cut back on the number of two-a-day practices. He also has curtailed some of the physical contact and no longer makes his players run punishment laps for mistakes on the field.

Fletcher "Isn't this weather gorgeous? The temperature here is almost too good to be true! When it's 70 degrees out there, sometimes it gets hard to work up a sweat."

‘"He got his chance, he took advantage of it, and we’re happy he did," said Tom Modrak, the Bills’ assistant general manager who made a positive recommendation to general manager Tom Donahoe on Prioleau’s behalf. "I thought he had a good workout, and from there Tom pulled the trigger."’

‘"Football is definitely a love (of my family). My father played 10 years in the NFL and to follow in his footsteps is a dream come true. Now I want to pave my own way and make the most of this opportunity."’

‘While at the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a degree in business management and information systems, Irons became close friends with investment wizard Warren Buffett, recognized as the world’s second-richest man.’

‘Converted to tight end last year by the New York Giants after signing as a free agent, the Bills also believe he’s better suited for the offensive line.’

‘Flowers, the former first-round draft pick in 2000, suffered what was termed a ”chip fracture” in his neck during the practices with the Cleveland Browns last Friday and did not work until Wednesday’s pad-less practice at St. John Fisher College.’

‘How much should Buffalo Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe and the rest of the team’s starters play in Friday night’s preseason opener against Cincinnati?’

”’I think Drew Bledsoe is a great addition to the team, now they just need to get (New York Yankees shortstop Derek) Jeter. The offensive line looks a lot stronger and I like the new uniforms. Now I have to go out and buy my three sons all new hats."’

‘"I am incredibly honored to have been selected as the honorary starter for the Sirius Satellite Radio at The Glen," said Kelly. "I am a big fan of NASCAR racing and I’m excited to play such an important role in the weekend. To be here on behalf of Hunter’s Hope Foundation, makes it even more special."’

‘"We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jim Kelly to Watkins Glen International," said track president Craig Rust. "Jim is a true football icon and has a wide following of fans that stretches outside of the State of New York. His work with Hunter’s Hope Foundation is truly an inspiration and we are very pleased to have him join us for New York State’s largest weekend spectator sporting event."’

‘Kelly, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week, will wave the green flag for the 43-car field in the Sirius Satellite Radio at The Glen event at Watkins Glen.’
