Wilson Doesn't Make Cut: The Pro Football Hall of Fame has pared down their list of finalists to 15 and Ralph Wilson did not make the cut and won't be going into the hall of fame again this year.

McGahee, Moulds Get Gamball Honors: Willis McGahee was the recipient of the most gameballs "handed out" by Bills Daily this year. He got a gameball in seven games and shared the honor with Eric Moulds. McGahee's accomplishment is more astonishing since he only started 12 games. Gameball Tallies.
McGee, Bledsoe Share Dishonor: Terrence McGee and Drew Bledsoe shared the dishonor of getting goats the most. Both players received five goats. It is the third year in the row that Bledsoe led in that category. He also received gameballs four times. This adds to the adage that the QB gets too much of the credit and too much of the blame. Goat Tallies.
Gray Not Going To Syracuse? A report out of a Dallas newspaper says that Texans Co-Defensive Coordinator Greg Robinson will be named the new head football coach at Syracuse University. If the report is true Jerry Gray will not be leaving for that job. He was scheduled to meet with Syracuse officials this week. The Bills will have dodged a bullet in this case but they are not out of the woods yet. Right now there are two head coaching job openings in the pros, Cleveland and San Francisco. Gray doesn't appear to be a candidate in Cleveland right now but he is one for the San Francisco job. There are no more major college coaching job openings.
