Defiant Henry faces plenty of challenges in possible break-out year
‘The question is, can he carry the ball 300 times and be effective in December? He had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason to relieve the tendinitis in his right knee. Can he thrive while carrying a Bettis-like load?’

Transcript for June 9
‘The French Open is next, but the big sports news: The Buffalo Bills have new uniforms, unveiled yesterday. New aggressive, and there’s the new secret weapon. We’re going back to the Super Bowl. Drew Bledsoe, bring it home one time.’
Mike Doser: Bills' new uniforms the pinnacle of COOL
‘Despite filing a logo for trademark – a “B” folded into the head of a buffalo – the team did not include it. The Bills remain one of only 9 NFL teams to feature jersey numbers on the sides of their shoulders instead of on the tops of them. Many teams have put numbers on the tops so they can include a secondary logo on the sides. The fact remains that the Bills have a secondary logo registered to them, but have decided not to use it.’

Wade Phillips is rested and ready to rebuild Falcons' defense
‘"I enjoyed the whole time I was in Buffalo," he said. "The owner made a decision. He’s allowed to do that. The disappointment for me was I still wanted to be there. I had a successful career going, and it got derailed. I did a good job and won a lot of games. I’d still rather be the head coach of the Buffalo Bills."’
