Another day of mixed bag results in the Bills QB competition

Clarity won’t be coming anytime soon in the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback competition.

Mets lose to Nationals by astounding 25-4 final

It was a case of unfortunate timing that the Mets’ 25-4 loss to the Nationals on Tuesday, the most lopsided defeat in franchise history, came mere hours after assistant general manager John Ricco discussed the team’s intention to compete for a playoff berth in 2019. Although a loss as bad as this portends little in terms of the team’s future... more

Zay Jones is at Fisher, but he still isn’t practicing with the Bills

Wide receiver Zay Jones continues to be somewhat invisible at Bills training camp, prolonging an absence that stretches back to the final gun of Buffalo’s AFC wild-card playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in January.
