‘“I wouldn’t say so,” says Hamlin. “I would say my motivation is walking my life, keeping God first, making sure that’s the relationship in my life that I’m mostly prioritizing. That’s my main focus — just as far as any process — whether it’s my career, family, business, is keeping God first.”’

‘The campaign is inspired by the massive amount of wings that Americans consume during the Super Bowl — which leads to people relying on paper towels to clean up the mess.’

‘Well, after all those conspiracy theories about Damar Hamlin after he had suffered a cardiac arrest on the field, after all those claims that he had a body double, the Buffalo Bills safety has now returned to playing football. Hamlin took the field in the Bills first preseason game when they hosted the Indianapolis Colts on August 12.

‘Oliver, who is now signed through the 2027 season, ranks 11th among defensive tackles in average annual salary following his extension, according to Spotrac.

A lofty position for a player who has recorded five sacks only once in his pro career, doing so in his rookie season of 2019.’

‘“It’s like a family environment,” Diggs said of playing in Buffalo. “They love their football in Buffalo. The Bills Mafia has always got your back. They’re like your mom or your dad because they’re going to love you regardless. It just makes you want to do right by them. You want to win for them, and we all feel bad we couldn’t bring that Super Bowl to them again this year. They deserve one. They deserve a championship to celebrate.”’

‘So what are those conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists saying now? Did all of them double back on their body double claims? Nope, some are actually doubling down with three letters: CGI. No, not “come get idiotic” but “computer-generated imagery.”’

‘“I’m excited for the opportunity to go through rehab and show my teammates how dope I am—like I have this injury and how I can bounce back from it the way I do. Just another opportunity to prove to my guys that their opinion matters most to me.”’

‘Asked about the reasons for his rise to the top since becoming a Bill, Diggs – speaking as part of his partnership with SAXX.com – said this: “I feel like just maturity. Part of my maturation process was the people that I was around when I got a fresh start and I got a new home.’
