Jim Kelly

Is my idol. He is by far my favorite football player.

He is a local-ish guy from Pittsburgh who has a hard-nosed mentality. What he has done for charity in the City of Buffalo is commendable.

He brought so much joy to my early childhood watching his successes on the football field.

I admit I cried like a little school girl when Jim Kelly was inducted into the HOF.

RIP Hunter.

"...You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win, and I don't care if you don't have any wins. You go play to win. When you start tellin' me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out! 'Cause it matters." ~ Herm Edwards

saw it

apparently, from what was said, in the book, Jill paints a rather unflattering picture of Jim as a husband. Jim was humble and said, “he thought he became a great father but not as good a husband”. The theme was Hunter, without speaking a word (ever), brought Jill/Jim closer together.
Not a side of Jim one normally sees.

What we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.

That’s the jist from the excerpts I read. He cheated on her and all this other stuff. They probably were headed for divorce until the baby. Stuff like that.

You can't have CHANGE without CHAN.
