  "account": "At Buffalo Bills training camp, head coach Joe Brady welcomed his predecessor Marv Levy, who turned 101 years old, with a birthday message and a tribute to his coaching philosophy. During the session at St. John Fisher University, Brady quoted Levy's famous line, \"When it's too hard for them, it's just right for us,\" and emphasized that the Bills' mindset would remain unchanged. The timing was appropriate, as the team was preparing for training camp in challenging weather conditions, embodying Levy's embrace of adversity. Brady, who played for William & Mary under Levy in 2013 and 2014, spoke of the wisdom Levy had shared with him and expressed his own desire to reach 37 years old. Levy, a Hall of Fame coach, guided the Bills to multiple Super Bowl appearances, six AFC East titles, and a remarkable 123-0 regular-season record. In 2001, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Levy's legacy continues to influence the Bills, including during Monday's rainy training camp.",
