Two Bills Drive

1999 Training Camp Facts

“I know we started 0-3 (last year), but we weren’t the same team once we started winning,” Phillips said. “If we can regain that . . . with the same players, and hope to get better, if we do that, we’ll be awfully strong.”

“It’s believed general manager John Butler and agent Jack Wirth hammered out a one-year extension, tying Reed to the Bills through 2001. A bonus could double Reed’s 1999 pay, set at $1.3 million, and the extra year will provide the Bills salary cap room.”

Wooohooooo!

It’s finally here! After being deprived of real football for months, we can now drink up!

Bills are finally marketing regionally. Lets hope this type of smart marketing keeps the Bills in Buffalo for at least another 40 years.

“On his own team, the 35-year-old Reed has seen teammates with much less time and contributions to the Bills soar past him on the salary chart. This off-season, 36-year-old quarterback Doug Flutie, tackle Jerry Ostroski and cornerback Ken Irvin were given deals averaging $5.5 million, $3.125 million and $2.7 million.”

Buffalo has a multi-talented QB in Flutie. He certainly has the ability to improvise!

“If the bars are knowingly breaking the law by bringing in the TV signal by false pretenses, that is a crime. But to use bully tactics to seek penalties of an enormity which could cause these businesses to close up shop is overkill.”

Those of us who are old enough to remember McKenzie and Freddy know that these awards are very well deserved.

With these 3 signings, Buffalo has 6 of 9 picks signed.
