‘Officers asked Simpson to leave the parking lot, and he started to walk away, but then returned, yelling again.’

‘Buffalo Bills safety and former Rock Hill High standout Ko Simpson was arrested outside a Rock Hill bar early New Year’s Day after police say he wouldn’t leave while they were trying to clear the area.’

‘”For me I’m using it as motivation,” said Schobel of the critics. “A lot of offseasons I take off a lot at the beginning of the year, but I feel like I’ve already got a lot to prove.”‘

‘”It’s nice to be wanted,” Wire said.’

‘"We were trying to be a top 10 defense," said cornerback Terrence McGee, who may have been the MVP of the unit. "Like Perry (Fewell) said, we have to eliminate the big plays. You have to make plays and not have those explosive plays against you if you want to be a top 10 defense.”’

‘Trickery at the right time is the difference between special teams being an asset and a nonentity; the same can be said for football in general, as seen with the two teams in question that faced off Sunday. Of course, the Bills weren’t sharp enough to refrain from forcing their primary back for the day to work during kicks, so why would they possess the sense to even consider that fooling an opponent is an option?’

‘If Rian Lindell hits that 47-yard, game-winning field goal attempt against Cleveland on the final play, nobody second-guesses Jauron’s lack of offensive aggressiveness on the final drive. If it’s Trent Edwards at quarterback, instead of strip/sack magnet J.P. Losman, running what could have been a game-clinching rollout pass against the Jets, it might have worked …. and at very least probably wouldn’t have been one of the most memorable fumbles in team history. Winning those two games would make the Bills 9-7 and obviously an improved team over the 7-9s of 2006 and ’07.’
