bills_fan Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 And another... Orchard Park (AP) - Anthrax Scare At One Bills Drive Sports Complex Buffalo Bills football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head Coach Mike Mularkey immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line. Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
