‘After that game, a misunderstanding that was later worked out, as Bill Polian was ready to take my head off in the hotel lobby; strange, because no one knew at that time he knew already he would not be back as the Bills’ gm, which certainly had him on edge to begin with. My old friend Rick Azar was actually the “peace maker” initially before either one of us knew what the misunderstanding was about, and the late John Butler and I sat out on the front steps of the hotel and talked for a good half hour about a lot of things other than football. Even Butler had no idea at that moment that just a few days later HE would be named the Bills general manager.’
