‘”I had a good run in Jacksonville,” he said. “The fans were great to me while I was there. I don’t have any hard feelings towards Jack [Del Rio]. I’m sure he made a decision and has no hard feelings toward me. It’s just part of the game. The only thing that matters is that I was willing to work hard and get myself back to the level that I was playing at and potentially try to play better than that. I’m no longer a member of the Jaguars, so [how I play] doesn’t really matter to Jack. It’s more about satisfying myself and showing everybody that I can play.”‘

‘”So I heard on the news that Mr. Wilson was matching all the money that’s being collected. And I wondered, would he give $100,000? He might cap it. He would have that right.”‘

‘”It’s funny, but my greatest friends are the ones I grew up with,” McNally said. “The closeness means more to me than all the other places, because I always took great pride in being from Buffalo. All along the way, I never forgot those buddies from Kenmore West.”‘

‘”We’ve approached both Wegmans and Tops about stocking Flutie Flakes,” Heher said. “They were so popular in the Buffalo area we’re very hopeful we’ll be able to get them to stores in your area.”‘
