Two Bills Drive

Last weekend's Bills' Coaches Clinic had dozens of the area's high school coaches trying to gain some insight from their pro counter parts. But there was one coach who traveled a bit further than the rest of the coaches for the clinic, as Denmark's Johan Laurizen came from half a world away to listen to Gregg Williams and his staff.

‘“I’m very excited. The longer it took, the sweeter the taste,” said DeLamielleure, who waited 13 years before he was elected. “You think it’s never going to happen.”’

‘But my most vivid memory of Talley was off the field and away from the stadium. Shortly after he left the Bills and had signed with the Falcons in the winter of 1995, Darryl took out a full page ad in the Buffalo News and used it to publish an open letter to the fans, thanking them for a dozen great seasons. It was one of the classiest gestures ever made by a pro athlete.’

‘Ralph Wilson lacks big-time money and the financial condition of the Bills hasn’t been great over the last several seasons, but Wilson is one of the few traditional owners remaining. What puts the Bills into the top 10 is having Tom Donahoe running the football operations. Donahoe is among the most respected football men in the league and has been known for stability and his solid philosophy on personnel over the years.’

The Bills are looking for their most loyal and avid fans to appear in a national television spot on CBS promoting the network's coverage of the NFL.

After three years with the Chiefs, starting in all but three games during the final two campaigns – linebacker Scott Radecic was released late in the 1987 preseason. Granted, he joined the Bills after being claimed on waivers only days before the season opener, but because defensive coordinator Walt Corey had been his coach in Kansas City, the linebacker knew Buffalo’s defensive strategy better than he knew his teammates.

‘Hardge had signed on January 22 while Harris followed on February 4. Both participated in the team’s most recent camp earlier this month.’

‘The Buffalo Bills released free agent defensive backs Ronald Hardge and Ken Harris on Tuesday.’

‘When the locker room door closed, every player on those championship Bills teams turned to Talley for leadership. His words carried the combined weight of all 52 of his teammates, even though is name didn’t capture the fame of those such as Bruce and Jim Kelly.’

One of the league’s best teams at unearthing bargain basement veterans, the Raiders added a pair — OL Corey Hulsey and DT Damian Gregory. Both signed one-year contracts for the $300,000 league minimum. Hulsey started in 12 games at guard for Buffalo in 2001 but was out of the league last season.

‘The Buffalo Bills are looking for 12 of their most loyal and avid (read: crazy) fans to appear in a national television spot promoting CBS’ coverage of the NFL.’

The Bills are looking for their most loyal and avid fans to appear in a national television spot on CBS promoting the network’s coverage of the NFL. A crew will be at Ralph Wilson Stadium on May 24 to shoot the commercial that will focus on fan anticipation for the 2003 football season. Twelve fans will be selected to appear in the promo. To be considered, explain in 50 words or fewer what makes you the biggest Bills fan.’

Anticipation for the 2003 season has been building throughout the offseason among Bills fans and that excitement reached another level this past weekend when the team sold more than 600 new season tickets at its Select-A-Seat event held last Saturday at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Running back Ken Simonton became just the third player in the history of the NFLEL to record three consecutive 100-yard rushing games, recording 132 yards on 16 carries. To add to his already outstanding day, Simonton recorded six receptions for 61 yards.
