Eagles’ Pederson writing a memoir

NEW YORK » Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson knows he has an inspiring story to tell. The man who led the Eagles to a dramatic Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots is working on a memoir.

Hachette Books told The Associated Press on Tuesday the book is called “Fearless” and is coming out August 28. According to Hachette, Pederson will look back on his career as a quarterback and assistant coach and tell of the Eagles’ unexpected championship season.

Pederson has been the team’s head coach since 2016. He said in a statement that he had always considered himself an “underdog,” whether backing up quarterbacks such as Brett Favre of the Packers or, as Eagles head coach, facing the Patriots in Super Bowl LII and winning 41-33.

Brandon resigns as Bills, Sabres president

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. » Russ Brandon abruptly resigned his dual role as president of the NFL Bills and NHL Sabres after being confronted by the teams’ owners regarding an inappropriate relationship with a female employee, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.

The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because it is an internal matter, and owners Terry and Kim Pegula did not provide a reason for accepting Brandon’s resignation in a statement they released Tuesday.

The relationship in question first became apparent to a number of team employees in late December, when the Sabres were in New York to play the Rangers at the NHL’s Winter Classic, the people said.

Kim Pegula will take over Brandon’s roles overseeing the Bills, Sabres and Pegula Sports Entertainment.
