Two Bills Drive

The Bills are highlighted in this weeks issue of The Sporting News, with quarterback Drew Bledsoe appearing on the cover. The article inside, titled "Mr. Bill", discusses the excitement surrounding Bledsoe's arrival in Buffalo.

‘Big Bad Voodoo Daddy performed during halftime of Super Bowl XXXIII and has performed at halftime of the Orange Bowl college football game. Their self-titled 1999 album was nominated for a Grammy.’

The unveiling is NOT an all-weather event. In the case of inclement weather, a decision will be made in the morning as to whether to proceed with or cancel the outdoor event. If it is canceled, an indoor unveiling event will be held for the media only.

‘Their logo has remained basically the same since 1974, a charging buffalo that replaced one that stood still. In a nutshell, it’s time.’

‘Moulds and his attorneys were scheduled to talk with league representatives about the players’ endorsement of an all-natural protein supplement for a company that makes products that are banned by the NFL. The league’s blanket steroid policy prohibits such arrangements.’

“One of the few quarterbacks who can single-handedly beat you with his arm, but also one of the few who can’t buy a lot of second-chance opportunities with his feet.”

‘Bledsoe’s audition for the Bills began, unbeknownst to him, when the Patriots visited Buffalo last December 16.’

‘”Leadership seems to come naturally to him, and that’s been lacking here. If you are the quarterback, you need to be the boss.”‘

‘The Bills have reportedly offered a four-year deal in exchange for Riemersma taking a $900,000 paycut this season. The Bills also want Riemersma to accept a two-tiered bonus. That offer was unacceptable to Riemersma, a six-year veteran, and one of the team’s most dependable receivers.’

Huntley, the newest Bill, participated in his first practices and said, "It was not too bad. I was understanding some things because I had this kind of offense in Pittsburgh before. I’ll have to learn the terminology. "I’m here," he said, "because I felt the team wanted me here. I’ll play anywhere they want to put me. I want to get them back to where they were before as one of the NFL’s best teams."

Frankfurt’s Curtis Alexander has a shot at NFL glory with Buffalo.

“I believe Drew Bledsoe is going to do wonders for me and for this football team,” Moulds says. “He’s got a presence about him. He’s a take-charge guy. At times, when I’m in the huddle, I feel like I did when I was a rookie and Jim Kelly was the guy. After all this time, we’ve found a leader. Drew makes us legit.”

The Bills today announced that all tickets available at Tops Friendly Markets for Saturday’s uniform unveiling event have been distributed. To meet demand, the team will make an additional 1,500 tickets available to the general public at the Ralph Wilson Stadium box office starting tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

Running back Richard Huntley didn't waste anytime getting to work with his new team. Two days after agreeing to terms with the Bills, Huntley took the practice field with his new teammates on Thursday.

At first, changing uniforms may seem as simple as ditching your old jerseys and creating colorful new ones. At one time, it was that easy. Not anymore –
