"Then Levy Said to Kelly. . .": The Best Buffalo Bills Stories Ever Told (Best Sports Stories Ever Told)
I was listening to the radio a couple years ago, to a Buffalo station, and a trivia question popped up. The guy said, `Who scored the Bills' first touchdown?' Everybody was saying, `I don't know, I don't know.' And I'm thinking, `I don't know who it was.' Then some guy called in and said `Wray Carlton.' I said, `Whoa! That's amazing! I didn't even know that.' I never really thought about it. It never occurred to me that I was the one that scored the first touchdown."--Wray Carlton discussing the Bills' first touchdown"Coming from Michigan, we set goals in terms of running the football, and we put the expectations high. So right after the season, I got thinking. [O.J.] gained what he gained with little or no blocking. If we get some blocking, there's no telling what he can do. Any time he touched the football, he could go the distance. And seeing the kind of speed that this guy had and the size he was, with any kind of blocking we could gain 2,000 yards!"--Reggie McKenzie reflecting on O.J. Simpson's 2,003-yard season"Oh, it was euphoria. You watch a guy score a touchdown, and you'll see a couple guys come up and high-five him or pat him on the butt or whatever. You watch that game, and the first guy that was there was Andre. He came in and tackled me! He hit me, and I actually hurt my shoulder, he was so excited. Then everybody on that team was down there congratulating me. I couldn't believe it."--Don Beebe remembering scoring his first touchdown on his first catch in his first NFL game
