Do they allow you to report the score when they lose?

[Old Time Hockey]

Some truly ridiculous media-policy rules from the Buffalo Bills:

The Buffalo Bills don't want you to know if someone drops a pass in practice - BN Blitz

Good luck to the Bills beat writers in finding anything they can actually report at practice.

"Bills lose on late field goal, but they tried really, really hard and their parents are so proud of them."

Hard to believe it, but there were four straight years in the 1990s when there were no Super Bowls.

WTF can they talk about. Someone should ask Rexy if he still makes foot fetish videos with wifey.

Oh, they were up to the task. "A QB not named Taylor or Jones just threw a pick-six," and other merriment via Twitter.

Between this, the Shaq Lawson "I won't need surgery" surgery, and the Rex/Rob "we're the baddest badasses that ever badassed" piece on MMQB, it's been a fun couple of weeks in Bills country. Almost enough to make one forget the 16-years-and-counting playoff drought.

Almost.

Just tweet about receiver X not catching the ball that was thrown to him.

The local AP writer:




(Note: Blue is defense.)


FWIW, Berchtold clarified after practice that the rules were simply meant to curtail play-by-play tweeting from OTAs/minicamp, and wouldn't be in place for practices open to the public at training camp.

(None of which was spelled out in the written version. Maybe the Bills SID should've asked a PR specialist for help in drafting said policy, then explained it BEFORE the first practice, and they wouldn't have ended up on Deadspin.)

That place has better weather than Buffalo.
