‘Predictably, she got a question about the team’s women fans. “When we’ve looked at this, we realize that our female fans don’t want to be treated as female fans,” she pointed out. “They just want to be included as fans. We’ve tried different things like ‘Football 101’ classes and they never went over really well. Our (female) fans just want to be engaged as a fan, not a ‘female fan.’ I think that’s the best lesson we’ve learned.”’

Harrison Phillips feeling like himself again as critical season approaches
‘”The NFL is a business. A lot of hidden things going on. You never really know what it is,” he said. “There are thoughts of getting cut, thoughts of getting traded, never getting activated again. Those are just realities that come in. It’s not like somebody can sit you down and say, ‘Hey, here’s our plan. We’re going to have you this week, not this week, this week.’ So you just never know. But, yeah, those are thoughts that every player has, I think, unless you’re maybe the guy. Maybe Josh (Allen) doesn’t have too many of them, but that’s the harsh reality of the NFL that you don’t realize as a kid is the mental toll it can take on you.”‘
Bills’ Stefon Diggs reveals secret to his success with Josh Allen
‘“Josh will just look at me and say, ’’Stef’, just get open and catch the ball,” Diggs told Modern Luxury DC. “I really don’t care what you do before that.’ And that’s hard to hear because I’m so used to timing routes and doing things in a certain type of way. But this is where the creativity comes in. I can mix things up a little bit, and the quarterback trusts me. The only way you can build that trust is by making plays.”’

‘With all their key players returning and Josh Allen rising to top-tier status at quarterback, the Bills are primed to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1993 season. But the Dolphins and Patriots won’t make the journey easy. The roster retooling that Miami began in 2019 is ready to really bear fruit, although I do still have questions about Tua Tagovailoa after a shaky rookie year, especially after watching Justin Herbert — whom the Dolphins passed on in favor of Tagovailoa at fifth overall — win Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Chargers. QB issues also dog New England, with the selection of Mac Jones in the first round of this year’s draft accelerating the clock on the Cam Newton era, though the offense should rebound following much-needed upgrades across the depth chart. (If the Patriots pull off a trade for Julio Jones, that will increase the degree of difficulty for the Bills, but it wouldn’t necessarily move Buffalo up this list.)’
