Two Bills Drive

‘One of the NFL’s premier nose tackles over the past 10 seasons will become an unrestricted free agent Thursday, with SportsLine.com confirming Tuesday that the Buffalo Bills intend to release 10-year veteran Ted Washington when the league waiver wire system is activated that day.’

‘Implementing [the West Coast offense for the Bills] will be Mike Sheppard, the 49-year-old offensive coordinator who was most recently quarterbacks coach of the Seattle Seahawks.’

‘As an update to previous reports, Mike Sando reports for the Tacoma News Tribune that the Buffalo Bills will release DL Ted Washington on Thursday in a salary cap move.’

‘This article talks about how Ted Washington’s agent, Angelo Wright, has been assured he will be released tomorrow in a cap cutting move and speculates how he might fit into the Seahawks plans. It will be sad to see Big Ted go as well as the "package".’

‘Here’s the second part of the GREAT Marcellus Wiley interview. I hope we figure out a way to keep him.’

‘Super model Heidi Klum is held up by Eric Moulds of the Buffalo Bills, left, and Rod Woodson of the Baltimore Ravens, in this photo from the upcoming 2001 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.’

‘The Bills brought Doug Flutie into town Monday and were scheduled to visit with Rob Johnson today at the team’s Orchard Park training facility. The meetings are designed to allow the Bills’ new coaches to better acquaint themselves with the quarterbacks and to exchange ideas about the team’s new offense.’

‘Still, if you’re a Buffalo sports fan it’s cause for celebration. Given a chance to sell himself to the highest bidder, Moulds took stock of his surroundings and decided he liked this town just fine.’

‘The nickname refers to William F. Cody, who was known as “Buffalo Bill.” Buffalo had a football team called the Bisons, but the city’s minor league baseball and hockey teams had the same name. The football team held a contest to select a new nickname following the 1946 season.’

‘The Bills are at a crossroads. They have not progressed much in recent years, as they seem to be in a state of stagnation. The new football people in charge will definitely change that.’

‘"As much as his coaching, I really praise his loyalty. He is also a tremendous husband and father. We will definitely miss Steve, and we’ll also miss his family very much. I am proud that Steve has this opportunity and we wish him the best."’

‘This is part one of a two part interview with Marcellus Wiley. He has plenty to say about Doug Flutie, Rob Johnson, the XFL, cheerleaders, and much more.

‘Football games are designed to be equal; both sides play by the same rules, get an equal number of chances to initially kick off and get an equal number of home and away games. If a team wins a game, you expect the majority of significant statistics to favor the winning team.  If you win most of your games, you expect the majority of the overall statistics to favor you as well.’

‘Talk about slow news days… The Bills’ website has offered a list of "Presidential Bills", such as, Ted (George) Washington, etc… They had to reach deep into the depth charts to fill this roster.’

‘Marv Levy thinks John Butler will make a good decision about what to do with 1st pick of 2001 draft unlike the previous GM whose picks are often playing in the XFL.’
