'“Oh yeah. One-hundred percent,” Hogan said. “I’ve been around long enough to know this is something they’re going to do every single year. But every single year, I have that same kind of mentality where it’s like ‘Oh man, well, I’m just going to have to work that much harder to outplay these guys.”'

'McNesby, the president of the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, publicly wondered why the investigation was taking so long – especially considering the video evidence that is available.'

'I know Norwood is hurting and understand why. It’s been long enough. He needs to know that nobody thinks less of him as a person based on one play in one game. He should also know that he wouldn’t be a better man if he made it.'

'The Buffalo Bills are planning on being without star running back LeSean McCoy to start the 2016 season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.'

'One off-duty officer who was kicked and stomped by the suspects was treated for a laceration to his right eye, broken nose, broken ribs and a sprained thumb. The officer who intervened received eight stitches over his left eye and was received treatment for a possible skull fracture.'

'It was not immediately clear what was discussed at the meeting at 20th and Market Streets. At least six participants declined to comment as they left the building after sunset.'

'Defense lawyer Dennis Cogan says McCoy met with assistant city prosecutors at his law office on Tuesday.'

'McCoy and three friends are being investigated after a fight at a nightclub on Feb. 7 in Philadelphia left two off-duty police officers with serious injuries.'

'McNesby said he was “bewildered” by the meeting and called it “bizarre.” McNesby likened it to “Mayor Kenney meeting with a local resident about his trash not being picked up.”'

'McCoy's attorney says that meeting will take place sometime Tuesday afternoon.'

'McCoy's attorney had backed out of the meeting due to an anticipated "media circus" expected outside the location. McCoy's camp was not happy that the meeting with the district attorney was leaked to other sources.'

'Any spot in the defensive front seven (LB/DL), offensive tackle, and wide receiver. This is most likely where they'll get their first-round pick from, and quite possibly even their first two selections. Of course, the quarterbacks are usually the most intriguing simply because of the high-profile nature of the position. But if you really want to get to know the players the Bills may select early, chances are they will come from one of these four groups.'

'I know Scott Norwood will forever be remembered by sports fans as the guy who missed the kick that cost his team a Super Bowl championship. But I'm hoping, as Norwood makes public appearances like the Andre Reed roast, he'll hear from enough Bills fans that he can put the suffering to an end and live the rest of his life at peace with his football career.'
