ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A Buffalo Bills tailgater was back to his normal spot in the parking lot at the start of the New York Jets-Bills game three weeks after an NFL official threatened to close him down after witnessing people line up to have shots of Polish cherry liqueur out of the thumbhole of a bowling ball.

Sporting a Donte Whitner No. 20 jersey, Ken Johnson had plenty of reasons to smile Sunday despite his favorite team’s 0-3 record. After the threat, Johnson, a 21-year fixture in the Bills main parking lot, said he no longer felt welcome in his Sunday home away from home.
