Alan Pergament: Coverage of O.J. Simpson’s death was a difficult balancing act
It might have been genuine, but it also proved beneficial to Simpson. He was so charming that the media failed to adequately cover the dark side of Simpson, which included his physical abuse of Nicole Brown Simpson years before her death. I wasn’t immune to his charms.

NFL schedule: Which Bills games should be played in prime time?

Forget why or how the trade came about, Allen and Diggs were at the forefront of the Bills’ success. They posed together a Sports Illustrated Kids magazine cover and appeared in Zoom Buffalo yard signs everywhere. Now they’re going to be on opposite sidelines. Lock this game in for Week 1.’
Ryan O’Halloran: Back to business – storylines as Bills start offseason program
Allen will be experiencing the biggest changes of his career this offseason. A third play-caller (offensive coordinator Joe Brady) and quarterbacks coach (Ronald Curry) in four years.

Bills Mailbag: How big of a draft need is a running back?
‘Right now, the Bills have just two running backs – James Cook and Ty Johnson – on the roster. They’ll likely add at least three more players at the position to their offseason roster, and given that they usually dress three running backs on game days, at least one of those players should be expected to make the team. It’s not thought to be a great draft for running backs in the early rounds, but that’s fine for the Bills. They would be better off using a mid- or late-round pick on a running back who excels at converting short-yardage situations, as you mentioned, Brenda, and can also hold up in pass protection.’
Florida State’s Keon Coleman would give Bills a potential big-play wideout
‘Instead of playing with him, there is a chance that Coleman could replace Diggs in the Bills’ offense. The Florida State product is considered a borderline first-round draft pick later this month – which means he figures to be in consideration for the Bills, should they stay at No. 28 overall. There is a chance that Coleman slips to the second round, although it would be a surprise if he was still on the board when the Bills are scheduled to pick at No. 60 overall.’

Dion Dawkins admits Bills trading Stefon Diggs was a ‘blind haymaker,’ but OT backs Buffalo’s decision
‘”The Stefon Diggs one, it was definitely a haymaker,” Dawkins said Friday, via NFL.com. “A blind haymaker. But, you know, I have learned that in this world, in this career that I’m in, that pieces shuffle and things move around all of the time. … For a player that has that type of impact and popularity and stat-based weight for their career, it just hits you in a different way. Like I said, I love my teammates and I am loyal to my organization. So I trust them. I think that they know what they’re doing. I know that they know what they’re doing. But we got (No.) 17, and when you got Josh (Allen), anything is possible, truly.”‘
