• Orchard Park man charged with aggravated DWI after wrong-way driving in Canandaigua (fingerlakes1.com) — A 35-year-old Orchard Park man has been charged with aggravated DWI after Ontario County deputies say they saw him driving the wrong way on a Canandaigua one-way road and crossing a grass median. Deputies report his blood alcohol content tested at 0.22%, and he faces multiple traffic tickets. He’s scheduled to appear in Canandaigua City Court later this month and remains presumed innocent. 
• Josh Allen has his post-NFL retirement career already in mind (thebiglead.com) — Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who stars in games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, is already thinking about a possible post-playing career in NFL broadcasting. In a recent CNBC interview, he said he’s intrigued by TV work but wants to avoid becoming a harsh “journalist” type. At 30 and still considered the league’s top quarterback, he’s likely years away from retirement.
