'But Carpenter said, "Track record doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't. What I did last week doesn't mean anything with what I'm going to do next week or the week after or the week after that. So frankly, I just have to make kicks. That's why I'm here. That's my job. I'm going to do the best I can every week and that's all I can do."'

'"I tried to call him after, and I talked to his agent after we traded him," Kelly continued. "I always wanted to talk to LeSean. Again, I have no issues with LeSean at all. He did everything we asked him to do when he was here. You guys know him, he's a great personality. He's got an infectious personality. I've got tremendous respect for this man."'

'At about 10am Wednesday morning, Kelly, on a conference call with the Buffalo media, said he’d love to shake McCoy’s hand. About four hours later, when he was told about that, McCoy responded, “Man listen, I am not talking to Chip (Kelly). You know we got nothing to talk about. He can’t call me, he can’t shake my hand. There is nothing he can do with me. You know he can’t say (expletive) to me. So I mean that is simple as that. I don’t dislike him, I don’t have nothing against him, but there is nothing for us to talk about. He knows that, he know me, he know how I am, he know how I act. There is nothing he can tell me, there is nothing we can talk about it.”'

'McCoy has been on fire since returning from his hamstring injury, easily establishing himself as one of the best five running backs in the NFL — and boy, have the Bills sorely needed it.'

'“Man, listen, I’m not talking to Chip,” said an agitated McCoy. “We’ve got nothing to talk about. He can’t call me, he can’t shake my hand. There’s nothing he can do with me. He can’t say (expletive) to me, it’s as simple as that. I don’t dislike him. I don’t have anything against him, but there’s nothing for us to talk about. He knows that. He knows me. He knows how I am. He knows how I act. There’s nothing he can tell me. There’s nothing he can talk about.”'

'Of course I was excited for the opportunity to work with some of the most brilliant minds in the sports documentary business and to be part of the prestigious 30 for 30 brand. But mostly, like any Buffalonian would be, I was thrilled to know my Bills were going to get some love in the national spotlight, and that my childhood heroes would be treated as such. This wasn’t going to be a film that portrayed the Bills as a national punch line.'

'After 12 weeks and 742 touchdowns this season, 55 extra-point boots have missed … about one every 3½ games. That still translates to 93 percent success … but it also means, factored over a full season, there will be nine times as many misses as a year ago.'
