Don't drag out talks to sign Jackson, Johnson

Gotta love this Bills team: it's been such a lovely ride, and many of us are still bracing for this thing to go careening off an under-construction off ramp and plummet back to the mean streets we've lived with since 2000.

No room for these old faces with new-look Sabres

"There are those who reflexively blame the organization for everything, Drury's leaving included, but put down the Ted Nolan bobblehead for just a second and accept that there was plenty of blame to go around."
