Big game becomes gargantuan
Leave it to our old friend, Larry Centers, to put the situation in perspective. Centers, now the fullback in New England, was asked Wednesday what it would be like if Lawyer Milloy signed with the Buffalo Bills and helped them win Sunday.
"Man, that would be a nightmare," Centers said. "I try not to dream like that."
Well, the New England Patriots' worst nightmare might just come true. A few hours after Centers uttered those words - and barely 24 hours after the Pats cut Milloy loose - the Bills agreed to terms with the perennial Pro Bowl strong safety, bolstering their secondary and possibly shifting the balance of power in the AFC East.
Tom Donahoe, the old poker player, did it again. In one offseason he rebuilt his defense and in the end he still had cap room to sign one of the league's top safeties. It's enough to make you think Donahoe moved some of his chips to one side, just in case Milloy's name came on the table.
At any rate, Donahoe has raised the stakes in football's most competitive division. And implausible as it might sound, he has added even more intrigue to a season opener that was already being touted as one of the most anticipated in Bills history.
