ORCHARD PARK — The Buffalo Bills are leaving O.J. Simpson and his tarnished legacy behind, in making the move to their new stadium this season, chief operating officer Pete Guelli said on Saturday.
After the late Hall of Fame running back’s name remained on display on the Wall of Fame inside their now-former home, Guelli said there will be no mention of Simpson at their new stadium across the street.
