West Herr Auto Group already gets plenty of attention for its dealerships through its sponsorship agreement with Josh Allen. But by raffling off the #Bills quarterback’s truck, the dealership group took its sponsorship (and brand) to a whole new level. buffalonews.com/news/west-herr…

Can confirm a three-year extension for Bills left tackle and ultimate prankster Dion Dawkins. Adam Schefter first. Bills lock in Dawkins through 2027

Mike Petro and I wanted to hear from Buffalo Sabres season ticketholders who have stuck with the team throughout the 13-year playoff drought. Some have already renewed for next season. Others have finally had enough. Story: buffalonews.com/sports/profess…

The Buffalo Bills will hold their final Blue and Red practice at the current Highmark Stadium tonight. And when the popular ticketed practice returns next season, it could wind up being the first large-scale event at the new stadium. buffalonews.com/news/local/bus… via The Buffalo News
