I wrote a lot about Athenex, specifically, and state's efforts, more generally, to boost Buffalo's biotech industry. (Spoiler: There were mixed results.) I was there 10 years ago in Dunkirk. This @ByJonHarris story takes me back to that high-flying era. #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">buffalonews.com/news/local/bus…

Broncos are trading for Miami WR Jaylen Waddle, per source. Denver receives: Waddle and Dolphins’ 4th-round pick (11th in round) in this year’s draft. Miami receives: Broncos’ 1st round pick (30th overall) along with their late 3rd and 4th round picks (30th in each round) in this year’s draft.

Spencer Brown's reaction to those penalties against the Bills' defense on the final drive: "You can’t blame the officials. That’s not what I try to do. But you’re letting the guys play all game long. I was holding the piss out of some people today and they didn’t call it. There was a third down right before we kicked the field goal -- I was holding Cooper hard and they didn’t call that. They were letting the boys play, but that’s a well-coached team. They knew where we were at and where they were at on the field. I think those passes were not really thrown to be caught. I think they were thrown to go out there and make us make a mistake and get a little help from the zebras. I thought they called a good game for the whole time. Those things are going to happen."
