Today, activists passed out fake versions of The Post around D.C.
Today, activists passed out fake versions of The Post around D.C. The papers pointed to a fake website that included an article titled, simply, "A look at the 64 bills."
We figured such an article might as well exist on our actual site.
So... here ya go.

A look at the 64 Bills

It’s safe to say that the Buffalo Bills' season didn’t go quite as hoped. Western New York’s finest wrapped up a 6-10 record after starting out 2-7 — closing strong, but not strong enough. Even a Week 17 rout of the hated Miami Dolphins no doubt served as little consolation.
For the team’s loyal fans, braving the early winter weather to root the Bills on, it was another season of disappointment. But few people could have been as disappointed with where the team ended up than the 64 players currently on Buffalo’s roster, including players on reserve and those who closed out the season with injuries.

Note: On Wednesday activists passed out fake versions of The Post at locations around D.C. The paper pointed back to a website, mocked up to look like ours. And on that website was an article titled, simply, “A look at the 64 bills.” We figured that such an article might as well exist on our actual site, and that is the sole reason this does.
