'All tickets will be available beginning Tuesday, July 18 at 9 a.m.'

'The new Bills coaching staff is very much about basics, technique, and a simple scheme. That should help Darby in everyone's quest to get back to where he was. At the very least, it will give him a chance, mentally, to have his head clear to move forward.'

'There are two dates this summer with 5:30 p.m. practice times that require tickets to be granted admission.

'“In order to be successful in this league you need to rely on pressuring the quarterback with your front four. Bringing six or seven really exposes your secondary and makes it tough no matter who you have on the back end.” Frazier said. “So if we can get Jerry (Hughes) playing at the level we think he’s capable of playing and Kyle and Marcell and Shaq Lawson comes along, that could be a formidable front four.

'She is still a trustee of the foundation, which means her uncle’s legacy remains a part of her work, and she believes “he would be proud.” Proud of how she and her fellow trustees carried out his wishes, and proud that she is “jumping out of the nest, authentically to me, outside of the Ralph Wilson umbrella.”'
