ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) It was "Marcell Dareus Day" at Buffalo's Triple-A ballpark, and the Bills defensive tackle arrived in a playful mood.

In throwing out the first pitch, Dareus mugged for the cameras with Bisons' mascots Chip and Buster, ordered a couple of a hot dogs with extra cheese, and chatted with fans and friends in the stands for so long he nearly had to be dragged away so as not to delay the start of the game.

"It just feels good to be outside of my element and relaxing a little bit," Dareus said Tuesday night, taking a break from a busy schedule at a time the Bills are closing their final week of offseason practices.
