QB Drew Bledsoe — He gives the Bills instant credibility and puts Buffalo in a position to be this year’s Patriots story. For the first time in many years Drew has to compete to save his career and most insiders I spoke with feel he’s up to the challenge. He could easily have the kind of effect that Rich Gannon had on the Raiders when he moved west to Oakland back in 1999, and Bills offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride is at his best when coaching smart QBs like Bledsoe.

If you run down the list of superstars from those Super Bowl teams, you'll find a group of players whose personalities were as memorable as their football ability. Making such a large group of stars feel like they were appreciated was a tricky task. The man who did it (Marv Levy) might be the most unforgettable character of all.

The event will feature a live performance by a national recording act, which will be announced at a later date. The Bills Experience will be set up outside the stadium. Fans will also have their first opportunity to purchase new Bills jerseys and other merchandise.
