Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills announced that the team has signed four players who most recently competed in the 2000 NFL Europe season. They are wide receiver Kevin Drake and defensive back Nick Ferguson of the World Bowl champion Rhein Fire and wide receiver Todd Floyd and defensive back Quincy Coleman of the Frankfurt Galaxy.’

‘There have been all kinds of media reports about the Bills this off-season, leading fans to believe all kinds of things. Here’s what I believe – and I think you should take heed of my thoughts over some national journalist because I actually was at every mini-camp session this off-season.’

‘Fans can purchase tickets in person at the Ralph Wilson Stadium box office, the team’s downtown Buffalo office in the Statler building, the Rochester office in Pittsford Plaza, and the Central Ticket Office on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. In addition, tickets can be purchased with a credit card by calling toll free at 1-877-BBTICKS and through the team’s web site, www.buffalobills.com. Tickets are also available at all Wegmans Food Markets in the video departments, which are open seven days a week.’

‘Thanks to the generosity of its readers and supporters, Two Bills Drive has been able to donate six Buffalo Bills season tickets the past two seasons for the use by the Pediatric Care Unit of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Please help us repeat our past efforts for this season.’

‘June 25 to July 1 (in alphabetical order by subject). This is a weekly collection of the fans’ most interesting posts on The Stadium Wall message board. Posts will be highlighted each week on the Shout!/TBD web site. Posts from the previous week follow the new posts.’

Chat transcript with DB Travares Tillman, the Bills 2nd round draft pick.

‘The 6th castaway has been voted off Buffalo Bills Island. The voting was clear cut once again. A great Bills player, who had a shortened career due to a knee injury, has been asked to pack his bags and head back to the mainland.’

"You Make the Call" is a presentation of both real and imagined NFL scenarios, where we invite you to "make the call" based upon the Official Rules for the NFL for 1999. Good luck, because you’ll need it.

‘Starting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, fans can purchase tickets in person at the Ralph Wilson Stadium box office, the Bills’ downtown office in the Statler building, Central Ticket Office, 228 Delaware Ave., all Wegmans stores (in the video departments) and at the Bills’ Rochester office at Pittsford Plaza. Tickets also may be purchased with a credit card through the team’s Web site, www.buffalobills.com or at 1-877-228-4257. The team warned that telephone users "may experience delays and busy signals" because of a high volume of calls.’

‘The Bills lost some key defensive veterans to free agency, but they believe they have plenty of young talent to compensate. One young player Buffalo has high hopes for is second-round pick Travares Tillman. Ask Tillman about his upcoming rookie campaign when he chats Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET. Send in your questions now!’

‘Local publisher David Jones (of Shout! Newspaper) is tired of dealing with customer complaints about mail delivery, especially during the peak football season when he tries to get his football newspapers in fans’ hands before Sunday games. Now he wants to do something about it.’

‘6–Buffalo. Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie. Of the teams with excellent 1-2 QB punches, only the Bills have any controversy regarding which one should start. That could be a season-long problem.’

‘Demand is expected to be high during the opening weekend of sales and fans using the 1-877-BBTICKS may experience delays and busy signals due to the volume of calls. Last season, seven of the team’s eight regular season home games sold out.’

Not specifically Bills related, but an interesting article on a few problems with the NFL today. Hard to argue with this guy …

‘"My first years here, my high school locker room was better than what we had in Fredonia," 10-year strong safety Henry Jones said. "Training camp is for concentration. You don’t want distractions. And at the same time, the NFL is supposed to be a first-class operation all the way. That’s what we’re really moving toward right now. "We had decent facilities (in Orchard Park), but to upgrade them to this, then from Fredonia to what we’ll have in Rochester, that’s just going to make it a lot nicer to get up and go to work in the morning."’
