Two Bills Drive

Photos from Sunday's Bills/Patriots game.

Quarterback Drew Bledsoe, punter Brian Moorman, and safety Tony Driver will attend the Rush for Reading party at the stadium with 125 kids from the Buffalo Public Schools. The kids earned the visit to the stadium by participating and excelling in the Bills literacy program.

$100 and two hours to shop at Dick's Sporting Goods.

That was the dilemma 50 underprivileged kids from the Salvation Army had at Dick's Sporting Goods near the McKinley Mall in Hamburg on Monday night.

‘Drew Bledsoe deserves better than a high-school coach.’

‘Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Tyrone Robertson was suspended for one year by the NFL on Tuesday for violating the league’s substance abuse policy for the second time this season.’

‘The Chargers hosting a wild card game wouldn’t be much of a problem, Steeg said, but hosting the conference championship would be the worst-case scenario.’

‘But in the weeks and months that passed, it has been the manner in which Brady, Belichick and his players have picked Bledsoe and the Bills apart in two meetings this season that now has everyone convinced the Patriots management made the proper decision when they opted to make Brady their pony of choice for the race toward a second successive appearance in the Super Bowl.’

‘Let’s face it, Tom Brady didn’t even need to get his uniform dry cleaned after his games against the Bills.’

‘If the season ended today, the Chargers would be on the outside looking in.’

‘Many of the players were probably still stinging from last Sunday’s 27-17 loss to the New England Patriots, but no one could tell. After staring in the wondrous eyes of children, the game hardly mattered.’

‘ Just because the team doesn’t quit on its coach, that doesn’t mean the owner and the GM will not.’

‘The Bills’ streak of sellouts could end this week. Though no ticket information was made available Monday, there were a little less than 13,000 remaining heading into last weekend.’

‘They’ve closed a season with three straight wins six times in their 43-year history, the last being 1995, when they overcame a 4-7 record by winning their final five. But since then they’ve gone 1-2, 0-3, 0-3, 1-2, 0-3 and 0-3 to finish seasons.’

‘The Chargers are doing the right thing here. Maybe Brees isn’t the ultimate answer. Who knows? But if he is the QB of the future, they have to know, and it isn’t going to be Flutie. Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t times when a change is necessary.’

‘”We have to go out and win the games, whether we go to the playoffs or not, we’re still trying to go 3-0 the last three games,” he said.’
