‘I have been back to Houston for two check ups since my last treatment. Everything during the check up came out good. I have to return to Houston in September for my next checkup. My doctors say they don’t expect any complications. I have gained most of my weight back and with the workouts I have been doing, my strength is coming back also. I still have a few problems with my feet, but they seem to be getting better. My out look on life is a lot slower now than before. My belief in God is much stronger now. I really believe if God had not been with me I would not be here today.’

‘"When I watched film of that defensive line every once in a while I thought that maybe McCargo was the best of the three," said Haering. "Just because he is big and would flash his quickness and do a lot of things.

‘Brian Kelly, Jim’s 6-6, 310-pound nephew, has signed to play at the University of Buffalo. "We didn’t plan it that way. It just sort of happened," said Pat Kelly, Brian’s father and Jim’s brother.’

‘It would be unwise of the Buffalo Bills’ front office to allow Peters to test the free agent waters next offseason because he very well could find a lucrative contract. He’s unknown to most, but a player similar to him, Kyle Kosier, was paid $16 million this offseason by the Dallas Cowboys . However, in recent years the Bills haven’t necessarily been adept to paying that kind of money for offensive linemen, which may be cause for concern in Buffalo. Peters may follow Kosier’s lead and earn a fairly large contract in return for adding steadiness to a team’s line.’
