CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Dale Jarrett on Tuesday called on Goodyear to listen carefully to Tony Stewart’s complaints about the tires the company has produced this season.

Although some drivers believe Stewart went overboard in his criticism of Goodyear following Sunday’s race in Atlanta, Jarrett said the manufacturer needs to start constructing a better tire for Sprint Cup racing.

“I have no problem with what Tony Stewart said. I’m a huge supporter of Goodyear and all that they have done over the years, but somebody needs to wake up right now and listen to these guys,” said Jarrett, the former series champion who is retiring following Sunday’s race in Bristol, Tenn.

“We’re talking about race drivers that have a huge amount of talent and very seldom complain about things like that.”

Stewart was livid with Goodyear all last weekend, when he complained about a lack of grip on the hard tires the company sent to Atlanta. Following his second-place finish, the two-time series champion said Goodyear gave him “the most pathetic racing tire I’ve ever been on in my professional career.”

Goodyear has staunchly defended its product. But Tuesday, Texas Motor Speedway officials said Goodyear will not bring the Atlanta tire to its track for next month’s race.

Atlanta and Texas are essentially sister tracks with identical layouts and the same 24 degree banking in the corners.

Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were among the many drivers to echo Stewart’s complaints after the Atlanta race, but a handful of drivers on Monday decided Stewart went too far.

“I think he went a little overboard. He kind of made it personal,” Gordon, the four-time series champion, said. “We were all pretty out of control out there. I don’t disagree with him as far as the comfort level in the situation we were in.

“But we have to look at all sides of this and try to give the folks that are doing their jobs the ability and constructive criticism to try to do it better.”

Goodyear said in a statement Monday it was pleased it had no safety issues because of the hard compound it brought to combat Atlanta’s abrasive surface. Still, the company promised to re-evaluate before returning to Atlanta in October.

“Even though both Goodyear and NASCAR were satisfied with the tire’s performance in Atlanta, if the drivers are not happy, then Goodyear’s not happy,” the company said.

That sent Stewart on a second rant Monday evening on his national radio show.

“If they truly believe that they were satisfied with the way the race went … I’m more disappointed than ever,” Stewart said on Sirius Satellite Radio. “And I can’t believe that NASCAR, at the end of the day, is truly, honestly, happy with the results.”

As the exclusive tire provider of NASCAR, Goodyear is not subjected to competition from other manufacturers. And NASCAR can’t allow other companies to enter the sport for risk of a “tire war” in which manufacturers are putting safety at risk while trying to develop a faster tire that teams will select.

On Tuesday, Jarrett said he has gone to NASCAR before to urge the sanctioning body to mandate Goodyear develop separate tires for the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. In using the same tire, the rubber must be strong enough to withstand a significant amount of downforce in the Nationwide cars.

The Cup cars have roughly 400 lbs. less downforce, and don’t need such a hard tire, Jarrett said.

“We can’t race the same tire on the Nationwide cars that is going to be any good for the Cup cars. That’s just plain and simple,” Jarrett said. “You’re not going to be able to put on a good show. These guys cannot drive these cars to the point of putting on a good race for the fans, which is what our sport was built on.

“So somebody is going to have to swallow their pride right now, and we are going to have to have two separate tires done there.”

Kyle Busch, the current Cup and Truck Series points leader and winner of both series’ races in Atlanta, also disliked the tires and said Tuesday he wants Goodyear to make different sets for the three different series.

“You have to build a tire that’s different for all three vehicles, or at least different for the Nationwide from the Cup car in order to be able to make everything work out right,” Busch said. “At Atlanta, the tire was too hard for all three vehicles.”

Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage is also lobbying NASCAR for a test at his track before its April 6 race, in which Goodyear will use not the Atlanta tires but essentially the same compound it used last season.

“Failing that, we would encourage NASCAR to add practice time to the race weekend schedule to give teams a bit more time to get comfortable with this new car and tire combination,” Gossage said. “We hope after the Atlanta race that they will see the wisdom behind our suggestion.”

Edwards replaces Losman at quarterback for Bills

November 26, 2007

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Rookie Trent Edwards is back in at quarterback for the Buffalo Bills.

Edwards was chosen the team's starter by coach Dick Jauron on Monday, a day after J.P. Losman was ineffective in a 36-14 loss at Jacksonville. Jauron said he hopes Edwards can give the sputtering offense a spark against Washington on Sunday.

Losman turned over the ball three times against Jacksonville and has looked shaky in each of his last three starts. He lost the starting job to Edwards after injuring his knee in Week 3 against New England, but has started since Edwards was hurt against the New York Jets on Oct. 28.

Although Losman engineered fourth-quarter comeback wins against Cincinnati and Miami, his play has been inconsistent. He killed a fourth-quarter drive deep in Jacksonville territory when he threw his second interception of the game into double coverage. The Bills trailed 22-14 at the time.

In his four starts since taking over for Edwards, Losman averaged only 209 yards passing and had three touchdowns and five interceptions.

AP - Oct 9, 1:10 am EDT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- NFL quarterbacks who turn over the ball six times usually disappear quickly.

Tony Romo's isn't going anywhere.

The unflappable Romo overcame five interceptions and a lost fumble to lead two last-minute drives, and rookie Nick Folk kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Dallas Cowboys an improbable 25-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

Two of Romo's picks were returned for touchdowns in the first half, while his bobble and his fifth interception came during the fourth quarter.

Yet Dallas (5-0) won, setting up a megamatchup with the unbeaten New England Patriots on Sunday at Texas Stadium.

"That's a sign of a pretty resilient team," Romo said. "I think our team, outside of me, played an outstanding football game. They dug me out of it. It was tough to go through that, especially on Monday night.

"No one is going to care when it's all said and done how you won the game."

The Cowboys scored nine points in the final 20 seconds. Romo drove Dallas 80 yards and hit Patrick Crayton with a 4-yard TD pass with 20 seconds remaining. The 2-point conversion try failed when Jabari Greer stripped Terrell Owens of the ball in the end zone.

But Tony Curtis recovered the onside kick and after two completions, Folk nailed his fourth field goal, shocking the sellout crowd that came to celebrate the first Monday night home game for Buffalo (1-4) in 13 years.

"Oh, it's great," Folk said. "It shows you how good we can be and what we can do if we don't make mistakes. And even if we do make mistakes and we stick together as a team, we still stay in the game."

It was the second last-second loss on a field goal this season for the Bills; Denver did almost the same thing in the opener.

"It was embarrassing, embarrassing," Bills receiver Lee Evans, on the verge of tears, kept repeating in the somber locker room. "We had opportunities to put the game away, put some points on the board, give us a little more cushion. Couldn't do it. It's embarrassing."

AP - Oct 9, 1:08 am E


This latest victory was one of the most implausible in the Cowboys' illustrious history. Buffalo made nearly all the key plays, including interceptions for TDs by George Wilson and Chris Kelsay and a 103-yard kickoff runback by Terence McGee.

"We made too many big plays to lose that game," McGee said. "It just seemed we had it won. We were one play short."

In position to clinch it, Trent Edwards' pass from the Dallas 11 was tipped by DeMarcus Ware and returned 70 yards by Terence Newman. Romo looked for tight end Jason Witten, his favorite receiver. Instead, he found linebacker John DiGiorgio at the goal line and DiGiorgio returned his first career pickoff 38 yards.

It was the third time a pass intended for Witten was stolen by Buffalo.

Yet the Cowboys didn't fold. And after their long drive to Crayton's touchdown, Sam Hurd deflected the onside kick ahead to Curtis.

Immediately, Romo hit Owens, but he couldn't hold onto a 20-yard pass to the Buffalo 25; officials needed a replay review to overturn the original call.

Romo completed two more passes and Folk, after having his first try from 53 yards negated by a Bills timeout, won it.

"I haven't been around anything like that, and that's 31 years I've been in the league," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said of his triumphant return to Buffalo, where he was 29-19 from 1998-2000.

Folk also made field goals of 47, 29 and 37 yards.

"I felt good. I helped the team win," he said. "I could care less if I kicked zero more field goals the rest of the year."

AP - Oct 9, 12:54 am EDT

Buffalo built its lead on those huge plays.

Wilson spent most of last season on the practice squad before being converted to safety this year. He started in the injury-depleted secondary and his first NFL touch came when Romo badly overthrew Witten from the end zone. Wilson scooted in untouched for a 25-yard score.

And when Romo went for Witten on his next pass attempt, Angelo Crowell intercepted.

But Dallas held, stopping Marshawn Lynch's fourth-and-1 run. Then Romo recovered nicely, throwing three straight completions to Witten and a 14-yarder to Owens before completing a 70-yard drive with a floater to the tight end for a 22-yard score early in the second period.

It was a temporary reprieve. After Buffalo staged a superb 15-play, 73-yard drive to Rian Lindell's 24-yard field goal, Kelsay made his spectacular solo effort to give Buffalo a 17-7 lead. The defensive end deflected Romo's pass high into the air at the Dallas 2, then caught it in the end zone.

"Turnovers, kick return for a touchdown, those are things that win ballgames," Kelsay said.

Moments later, Romo threw a weak sidearm pass that Greer picked off at the Dallas 43. The four first-half picks were one more than the total that Romo had thrown in the previous four games.

The Bills didn't capitalize, with Lindell missing a 54-yard field goal with 36 seconds to go in the half. That was enough time for the good Romo to emerge, and a 22-yard pass to Hurd set up Folk's 47-yarder to close the half at 17-10.

Folk made a 29-yarder on the first drive of the third quarter, then McGee got his fifth career kickoff return TD, bursting untouched down the middle of the field.

But just like in the early 1990s, when the great Bills teams that made four straight Super Bowls twice lost to Dallas in the title game, this one also would go the Cowboys' way.

Incredibly.

Notes

The last time Buffalo had two interception touchdowns in the first half was 15 years ago against Indianapolis ... Romo finished 29-for-50 for 309 yards. Witten had nine catches for 103 yards ... Thurman Thomas, one of the heroes of the great Bills teams of the early '90s that went to four straight Super Bowls, received his Hall of Fame ring at halftime ... Bills PK Rian Lindell scored six points, giving him 424 with the Bills to pass O.J. Simpson (420 points) for fifth on the team list.

Bills seeking to make positive showing in making rare Monday night appearance

By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer
October 8, 2007

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- On an otherwise special evening, and set on a national stage, Thurman Thomas had one concern as he awaited the formal presentation of his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring.

Would his former team, the Buffalo Bills -- as banged up as they are and as inept as they've been in the seven years since he retired -- show signs they're a still relevant and competitive NFL franchise when they host the Dallas Cowboys in the first Monday night game at Orchard Park in 13 years?

"You know what, I think a lot of people around the National Football League and around the world have pretty much forgotten about the Bills," said Thomas, the star running back finally getting his ring two months after his induction.

"There's a lot at stake here on this football game. Hopefully, the team can go out and play well, and put us right back out there so people can say, `Wow, the Bills had disappeared for a long time. But it looks like they've got a young group of guys that can put this team right back on the map."'

Monday night football hasn't been entirely the same since it made the move to cable last year. Then again, the Bills haven't been the same for a much longer time.

The NFL's TV network partners seem to agree, considering the Bills are making only their ninth prime-time appearance in eight years, and haven't been on Monday night since playing at Indianapolis on Dec. 11, 2000.

The AFC's winningest franchise in the 1990s, a stretch in which the team won an unmatched four consecutive conference titles, the Bills this decade have become one of league's biggest losers with a 47-69 record.

That doesn't sit well with Thomas and several other members of the team's old guard. They're hope, as former center Kent Hull put it, is the Bills "don't fall flat on their face," on national TV.

"This is a chance for the young guys in this organization to step up to the plate and say, `We're going to put a mark on the 2007 football season right here,"' Hull said.

Hull is particularly worried about the future in Buffalo if the team continues down this track, in which they've missed the playoffs seven straight years. That matches the worst drought in franchise history.

Another concern is the perennial rebuilding that's taken place. Dick Jauron is the fourth head coach since Hall of Famer Marv Levy retired following the 1997 season, and rookie third-round pick Trent Edwards is the eight starting quarterback since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 campaign.

"In the market they're in, if they're not very successful in the near future, that franchise could actually move somewhere. And that bothers me," Hull said. "I'd hate to be watching the Buffalo Bills of Anaheim."

It's not the first time someone's expressed fears of the franchise relocating, a topic that has stung the team's fans since the late 1990s before owner Ralph Wilson signed a 15-year lease that runs through 2012.

Wilson, who turns 89 this month, has since maintained he has no plans to move or sell the Bills, but with the region's troubled economy and perennial population drain, there are concerns about the future.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, in Buffalo on Monday, said fans' continued support of the franchise is critical to keeping the Bills where they are.

"Mr. Wilson's done a great job with that. And we hope he's with us for many number of years," Goodell said. "But whoever owns the team is going to have to make sure that the team stays viable here. And that becomes the real issue: How do we continue to keep the community support here?"

A win Monday night certainly won't solve the Bills troubles.

Following so many down years, however, it would provide a salve for loyal fans who have continued to show their support. After selling out only four of eight home games last year, the Bills have sold out six already this year, including Monday.

"That just goes to show that the red, white and blue of the Buffalo Bills really does matter," Kelly said.

For Kelly, fan support is what needs to be touted during the prime-time broadcast.

"It's important not just from the standpoint of the players getting out there and giving a good showing," Kelly said. "But it's also important to show this country, it doesn't matter what our record is, the Buffalo Bills fans will always be supportive."

Wilfork fined for hit on Buffalo's Losman
Thursday, Sep 27, 2007 10:38 pm EDT

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork has been fined $12,000 for his elbow to the knee of Buffalo Bills quarterback J.P. Losman during Sunday's game between the two teams at Gillette Stadium.

Video of the play shows that Wilfork was blocked toward Losman, but that Wilfork also threw his elbow toward Losman's knee.

Losman left the game two plays later, and is expected to miss two more weeks
