PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- As if the series of headline-grabbing suspensions and injuries werent enough, Bills coach Rex Ryan couldnt get through one of his final news conferences at training camp without distraction.Ryan was explaining what Buffalo needs to improve when he was drowned out by someone on the public address system announcing a fan promotion occurring on the nearby field.Pausing in mid-sentence, Ryan said: Maybe I should scream real loud or something.Who could blame him?After holding a closed walk-through session Wednesday, the Bills wrapped up one of their most tumultuous camps in 17 years in suburban Rochester. It began on July 29, when nine players -- including six projected starters -- opened camp on various inactive lists due to injuries or illnesses.By the time camp ended, Buffalo lost starting inside linebacker Reggie Ragland and backup outside linebacker IK Enemkpali to season-ending knee injuries.Starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus was suspended by the NFL for violating the leagues substance abuse policy for a second consecutive season, and announced he was entering a rehab facility. The league is also investigating whether to suspend starting linebacker Manny Lawson for violating the personal conduct policy.Then there was backup running back Karlos Williams, who reported to camp out of shape a year after scoring nine touchdowns as a rookie. Williams never got an opportunity to serve his four-game suspension in Buffalo because he was cut on Saturday.And Buffalo couldnt close camp without someone getting hurt. On one of the final plays of practice Tuesday, injury-prone fourth-year receiver Marquise Goodwin sustained a possible concussion.Its been a piece of cake, really, Ryan said with a distinct roll of his eyes, when asked how taxing camp had been.Sarcasm aside, Ryan was defiant in saying he can look beyond the distractions and see a team showing signs of resilience.You know what, well deal with whatever happens, he said, noting how pleased he was with Buffalos performance in a 21-0 win over New York Giants on Saturday. Ive been impressed with the focus and work ethic. And I think youre seeing it a little bit of it on the field.Indeed, not all the news has been bad.The Bills signed quarterback Tyrod Taylor to a contract extension. Receiver Sammy Watkins has resumed practicing since having surgery in April to repair a broken left foot. Buffalo added experienced depth by signing running back Reggie Bush and linebacker Brandon Spikes.Concerns, however, remain for a team that sorely lacked focus during Ryans first season as coach. Led by defensive end Mario Williams, several Bills players openly questioned whether Ryans defensive philosophy fit the personnel.Williams was cut in March, and Ryan has emphasized the team adopting an All-In approach.So far, the Bills are buying in.No detractors. Its kind of just one team, one voice right now, guard Richie Incognito said. Weve lost some huge players for us that have contributed a lot. Everybodys got to step up. Everybodys got to pull their weight.LeSean McCoy is on board, too. The outgoing running back has been energetic on the field in showing his support for teammates, while mostly avoiding media interviews in an effort to stay out of the spotlight.Last year, it was different. I mean, there were a lot of players going back and forth, a lot of finger pointing, McCoy told The Associated Press. This year is more accountability. Everybodys more accountable. Everybodys focusing in, taking ownership.Its not lost on McCoy that he caused stirs last year with an ongoing feud with former Eagles coach Chip Kelly. And McCoy became a distraction in February, when he was investigated for his role in bar fight involving off-duty police offers in Philadelphia. No charges were filed against him.Distractions, McCoy said, are part of football. Whats important is how everyone responds.I was in that same predicament, so I cant sit here and act like every player on this team is innocent and perfect. Sometimes things just happen you cant control, he said. I can only speak for myself. Ive been working hard. Im a little calmer person overall.Pausing, McCoy added with a smile, Especially in my looks, referring to his unshaven face.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLIchiro Suzuki Jersey .

Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. Drew Steckenrider Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.Carl Frampton has questioned whether the BBCs Sports Personality of the Year is anti-Northern Ireland after he and other stars from the country were omitted from the awards shortlist.The Belfast boxer, who in 2016 unified super bantamweight world titles before moving up a division to win the WBA world featherweight title, claimed he would have been selected on the 16-strong list if he was English.Framptons remarks came as Democratic Unionist MP Ian Paisley vowed to raise concerns around the absence of Northern Ireland nominees at Westminster.As well as a regional basis, Frampton suggested the selection was also potentially anti-boxing.He also asked why two-time world Superbike champion Jonathan Rea from County Antrim and Team GBs most decorated Paralympian at Rio, Bethany Firth, were also omitted.Paralympians who won fewer medals in Brazil than the County Down swimmers haul of three golds and a silver did make the 16.I feel like I should have got on but Johnny Rea also had a shout, Bethany Firth as well also had a shout, said Frampton. And I think maybe what it looks to me is anti-boxing, maybe anti-Northern Ireland, who knows?But listen, I am not going to cry about it and Ill get on with my career.Frampton became the first boxer from Northern Ireland to win world titles at two different weights when he beat previously undefeated Mexican Leo Santa Cruz in New York in the summer.That featherweight victory came after he defeated Englands Scott Quigg in Manchester in February to unify two super bantamweight world titles.In an interview with BBC Radio Ulster, Frampton said he believed Andy Murray, who won nine titles in 2016 and became world number one for the first time, would be the clear winner of the award, but he said he still deserved to be among the nominees.I am slightly disappoointed, I think, especially as they extended the list and there was no space for me, he said.dddddddddddd I unified a title and I moved up and beat a three weight world champion -- both fights on the road as well.But Im not going to complain about that. I didnt get picked for whatever reason. I feel there are people on that list that I deserve to be on in front of.North Antrim MP Paisley has tabled an early day motion on the issue in the Commons.In response to the furore, a BBC spokeswoman said: In what has been an extraordinary year of sport, many contenders were considered and debated by an expert industry panel, who by consensus agreed on the shortlist.The issue was also raised on the floor of the Stormont Assembly.When asked for her thoughts concerning the lack of Northern Irish-born sports stars on the shortlist, the regions First Minister Arlene Foster replied: She is not amused.Foster also said Executive colleagues intended to challenge BBC management, adding that she believed there was a problem with the judging panel.Foster said: I think it is absolutely scandalous that someone of Carl Framptons ability, and indeed a double world champion, should be excluded.Another man who should have been thought of as well is Jonathan Rea, who again is a double world champion. What about Bethany Firth?And, indeed what about Michael McGovern, that man from Fermanagh who did sterling work for the Northern Ireland team during the Euros.I think there is a huge hole in relation to the Sports Personality of the Year, despite the fact that they have increased from 12 to 16, they have managed to leave out some of the very special sporting stars from Northern Ireland.
