Two Bills Drive

“The Buffalo Bills, once thought to be the front-runners to sign the free agent, were pessimistic of their chances because of Phillips’ desire to sign with the 49ers, the source said. Apparently the only chance Buffalo or Green Bay has of signing Phillips is if talks break down between Phillips and the 49ers.”

“Though no final contract agreement was reached, Phillips reportedly told his agent, Mitch Frankel, that he prefers to play for the 49ers this season…the free agent running back already has an offer on the table from Buffalo that includes a guaranteed bonus in excess of $200,000.”

“The latest ruling involved bars in the Niagara Falls-St. Catharines region that illegally showed Buffalo Bills games during the 1995 to 1998 seasons. The court awarded the NFL damages [$440,000 Canadian] for lost ticket sales, licence fees, concession revenues as well as interest.”

“ESPN The Magazine’s John Clayton reported Thursday that the San Francisco 49ers have increased their offer to Lawrence Phillips in the last 24 hours, and that the free-agent running back is leaning toward accepting the offer.”

Vote for Buffalo as the best NFL city!

Miami homer paper indicates they are incapable of evaluating other teams, and show of their stupidity when evaluating the merits of Pork Faced Satan.

The article says “Buffalo and Green Bay remain interested in signing [Lawrence] Phillips, but [Phillips’ agent Mitch] Frankel told interested teams that his client would decide which team he wanted to play for and then begin negotiations.” If anyone can figure out what that means, please let me know!

Smoke & mirrors? Whatever…

“…the Bills reportedly promised a signing bonus of more than $200,000 — and extended playing time, even beyond this season.”

Looks like our arch-rival will have another sub-par season running the football.

For all of you who aren’t able to get season tickets, here’s your chance!

I agree with him: Miami will have NO running game and will not win the AFC, and Flutie is back and Buffalo will! Three whole paragraphs dissing the Dolphins. I love it!

“Green Bay and Buffalo reportedly are the other two teams hanging in there with the 49ers but word out of Buffalo now claims the Bills are getting cold feet, since women’s groups protesting at the team headquarters there have made the Bills reconsider.”

“Last week in Buffalo, the Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence held a rally at the Bills’ downtown ticket office, hoping to dissuade the team from pursuing Phillips. Perhaps as a result of the publicity, Bills

officials have recently been mum on their plans, although they are known to remain interested.”

“It’s not talent that is his problem,” [Bills pro personnel director A.J.] Smith said. “He just turned 24 and is trying to turn his life around. People are looking at it hard. It is turned around now, absolutely. I visited with him twice in Barcelona and Germany and we did an awful lot of investigative work. Europe was fantastic for him.”
