Reporters slyly work around Bills' restrictive media policy
The Buffalo Bills have a new media policy, and it looks like something you might see imposed on the press by a foreign dictator.
Reporters are permitted to attend Bills OTAs, but they can't report on the specific plays the team runs in practice, which players are running with the first and second teams, and which players dropped passes or threw interceptions.
So, what can they report on? Various Bills reporters had some fun finding creative ways around the restrictions Tuesday:
A quarterback just threw a pass and the football landed in the hands of an offensive player at today's Bills OTA practice.

A Bills quarterback with a jersey number that is the square root of 25 threw a football that missed its intended target.

A QB just threw a pick-six on his first pass in 11 on 11. It wasn't Taylor or Jones.

There was another interception thrown by a QB not named Taylor or Jones, intercepted by a linebacker who wasn't so sold on the wings.

I'll answer your question with a math question. What is Tyrod Taylor minus Dan Carpenter? https://t.co/Yl8aFNLFUq
