OLEAN — It was Senior Night, the last home game of the 1986-87 St. Bonaventure basketball season and the Bonnies had just suffered their seventh straight loss. Tom Boney, a great kid but below-average Atlantic 10 forward, peeled off his socks in the locker room and tossed them into the laundry bin while contemplating his less-than-stellar final game at the Reilly Center.

Are you concerned about Stefon Diggs’ absence from the Bills’ “voluntary” Organized Team Activities? Me too. Do you find it odd that a high-character player like Von Miller has to make excuses for him? I do. After all, Miller, rehabbing from knee surgery, is present at OTAs even though he’s projected to miss the first six games of the coming season. In short, he doesn’t have to be there … but he is. Not so with Diggs.
