Two Bills Drive

Buffalo Bills veterans Ruben Brown and Pat Williams had a big weigh in today and it did not involve being on the football field. This weigh in was a little different. This weigh in helped the Food Bank of Western New York and the Rochester Food Link beef up.

‘Kelly, who set many passing records with the Buffalo Bills, has already set a Hall of Fame record: most rooms reserved.’

‘For all the honors, passing numbers and victories Kelly compiled, few could match the quarterback’s confidence and determination. Some had better arms and many had faster feet, but Kelly had an unmistakable ability to lead.’

LB London Fletcher is reporting from Training Camp. He'll be giving you the inside scoop of what's going on as the Bills prepare for the regular season.

Ralph Wilson reintroduced football to Western New York in 1960 when he formed the Buffalo Buffalo and joined Lamar Hunt, along with six owners, to make the American Football League. The league persevered and merged with the long established National Football League.

“Paterno still contends that Kelly would have been a star at Linebacker U., and insisted last week that he would have played in the NFL on the defensive side of the ball and been a Pro Bowl caliber performer.”

Where Is He Now: During the early stages of his football career, Ron McDole was either one of the most persistent players in the NFL or AFL, or he was one of the unluckiest.

Large contingents are expected from the Buffalo and Pittsburgh areas. Officials at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and representatives of the participating Law Enforcement Agencies suggest fans arrive early on Saturday to avoid any delays in entering the stadium.

‘"I’m letting them know that – you know what? – it’s a game," Johnson said. "You love the game. We’re blessed to be in the position we’re in. But you gotta remember to enjoy it. Have fun with it. I enjoy the game and I have fun with it."’

‘"My first two years stunk," Flowers said without hesitation. "What am I supposed to say, that I had outstanding years? No, of course not."’

‘"Right now, we feel it’s the best way to get the best five guys out there," Williams said. "The fact everyone is versatile and we can move things if there’s an injury (is nice), but that’s the way we want to start camp and how we want to progress into the season."’

‘"So far, he’s been everything we thought he’d be when we drafted him," said John Levra, the Bills defensive-line coach. "He has good quickness, good toughness, good change of direction and he’s been good in the classroom, trying to absorb everything he can."’

‘"I might have played a year too long with the pounding. Now that it’s over, my body’s more important to me than beating the hell out of it. I couldn’t do it at the level I wanted to anymore so I have no regrets (about retiring)."’
