Food wins in the case of Buffalo Bills guard Richie Incognito, who couldn’t help but tweet out his thrill about the team’s lunch room being stocked with cookies.
Incognito also referenced the Bills’ new media policy, which he hopes he didn’t violate.
Not sure if I'm supposed to be tweeting this with the new media policy but since we started practice there are cookies in the lunch room.

The newly adopted media policy appears to be directed at just that, the media. Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News recently posted excerpts from the policy that mainly require members of the media to not mention specific player names or comment on certain plays.
Obviously, Rex Ryan and his crew are going to extra measures not to have details regarding their OTAs exposed to other NFL teams.
Of course the media is already having a field day with the team’s new policy by posting creative tweets such as this to skirt around the rule.
The last pass of day by a quarterback not named Taylor or Jones was intercepted by a player wearing a jersey with the absolute value of -50.

Regarding Incognito’s cookie message, he is probably in the clear. This is unless, of course, Incognito moves to tweet out the secret ingredients in the cookie recipe.
Leave it to the Ryan and the Bills to launch a silly rule that actually looks to backfire in regards to garnering unwanted media attention.
