‘”It feels great. Anything I can do to get out of that cold in Buffalo, it’s great,” Owens said Wednesday during his party at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.’

‘”I had been the only punter for the Bills for 10 years so I thought it only made sense to be on the Bills’ All-Decade Team,” said Moorman. “Then I realized it wouldn’t make sense for the Bills to do that since they just did a 50th All-Time Team. So I went online and found it. It’s pretty cool.”‘

‘Ryan Fitzpatrick, Trent Edwards and Brian Brohm. You want more of that act?’

‘McLean injured three police officers and four others as he sped out of a parking lot at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park after the Bills’ 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He then crashed his Jeep Wrangler into a telephone pole off Southwestern Boulevard and tried to flee. He briefly fought with police after the crash.’

‘"Somebody has to take responsibility when you don’t win whether it’s fair or not," DeHaven said. "I have a friend who says he doesn’t have bad days, he just has bad moments. We had a lot of good days when I was there, but that was about as bad of a moment as you could get. I understand how the NFL works."’

‘With their experience in the National Football League’s ultimate game, some may assume they’ve become go-to guys in the Colts’ locker room if anybody had a question to ask about being in a Super Bowl game. But that assumption would be incorrect.’

‘”He’s got the ‘x’s and ‘o’s down,” Tasker said. “He was the guy that devised the scheme that got me the punt block in the Super Bowl. It was a tailor made block for that game and we got it done and it worked perfectly. Most of the blocks I got in my career were because of schemes that he devised.”‘

‘"I am very excited to come back to Buffalo," DeHaven said in a statement. "It was my family’s home for 13 years and we have been traveling around the country for the last 10 and it feels like we are coming home. I was fortunate enough to be a part of some of the greatest years in Buffalo Bills history and I am looking forward to trying to reprise that era."’

‘"Things are coming along well with the staff at this point," head coach Chan Gailey said. "Time is not as important as getting it right and we feel really good about the coaches that we have right now."’

‘Cortez, who turns 59 later this month, has spent 19 years coaching in the Canadian Football League, including three stints with the Stamps that produced four Grey Cup titles.’

‘”I don’t know if it’s a lifelong dream,” Cortez said. “There was a time in my career where I thought this would be a real good thing to have an opportunity to do. I’m very much looking forward to it. I have to say I’ve been very happy here in Calgary. This opportunity came up and it was a good one, so I thought I would take advantage of it.”‘

‘”It was quite an honor, and really a surprise,” said Moorman, tapped for the team as a punter. “I didn’t even know about it until I got those text messages. When I saw the other names, I was pretty honored. And when I looked back a decade to see who made it in the 90s, it really made the whole thing hit home. These were some of the guys that I grew up watching.”‘
