PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Heinz Field maintenance crew won't be throwing away those "Keep Off The Grass" signs after all. The Pittsburgh Steelers gave into their players' wishes and will keep their grass field, though it may not necessarily be the field that is currently in place. While the Heinz Field surface is regularly rated by NFL players as one of the league's worst, a large number of Steelers players lobbied the team to keep the grass because they are convinced it reduces injuries. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7787128/Steelers-staying-with-grass-at-Heinz-Field ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Jim Zorn will make his Washington Redskins coaching debut in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 3. The Hall of Fame announced Sunday that the Redskins and Indianapolis Colts will meet in the annual exhibition in Canton, Ohio. It's played the day following the hall's induction ceremony. The Redskins lobbied for the game after two of their former stars — Darrell Green and Art Monk — were voted into the Hall earlier this month. The rest of the Class of 2008 is comprised of Fred Dean, Emmitt Thomas, Andre Tippett and Gary Zimmerman. The Colts last played in the Hall of Fame game in 1996. The Redskins, who hired Zorn on Saturday to replace Joe Gibbs, played in the 2004 game. BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Amid fears the Buffalo Bills could relocate to Toronto, billionaire Tom Golisano has had numerous discussions about purchasing the franchise and keeping it in the community. "I've talked to all kinds of people, and I'm not going to say anything beyond that," the Buffalo Sabres owner said Saturday in reiterating his interest in the Bills should the team be put up for sale. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7781076/Golisano-wants-to-keep-Bills-in-Buffalo
