RalphOP83 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Jimbo's celebrity golf weekend begins this saturday. I wont be attending this year, but my brother will. He is also golfing with Andre, Ruben, and John randle this Sat so i will find out if he hears anything. Jim does still drink btw. All the best to Jim. I wish him well in whatever his wife was referring to in that statement. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Infection in the jaw?? Oh man, that might be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Jaw infection, recovering from surgery, I doubt its something like cancer because I have a feeling we would have heard about it by now. It could be totally unrelated to health: marital problems, money problems, etc. Anyway, prayers for the guy. Wish him the best in whatever is going on.

Captain Hindsight Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 My girlfriend was at a concert at Darien Lake this past weekend (Tim Mcgraw I think) and she said Jim was there throwing footballs to the crowd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 That's the thing about Facebook. You'll get posts like that. "Please pray for my husband. He is going in for surgery tomorrow. He has an ingrown toenail." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills1218 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Fwiw, a buddy of mine saw him at the Preakness Stakes this month. Said he was drinking on the bus ride over but not anywhere near to excess (apparently a former slot receiver for the Pats/Fins was pretty wasted, but that's another story). Anyways, just wanted to pass it along - hope Jimbo's doing ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alias Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Jim Kelly cannot be overstated: he is Buffalo's greatest player, but his post-football life has shone brighter, by any significant measure, than his Hall of Fame athletic career. To top it all off, like many of us slugs he married way above himself! Then he and his bride turned their own tragedy into something redemptive -- something that has lifted other people. I am cynical about so many things, but I am thankful for the player Jim Kelly was, and the man he became. Get well, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Whatever it is, we shouldn't speculate. Whatever it is, we should hope for his speedy recovery. Not many players have done more for buffalo post- career than Jimbo. Not only that, he was an awesome QB. So enough of the pessimistic speculation about drinking, etc. Good thoughts, please!

Tipster19 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I agree this sounds ominous. I hope this isn't malignant. I was thinking the same thing. Whatever it is it sounds more internal that just a recovery of some sort. What is scary is I can't think of anyone who represented the Bills on or off the field more than Jim Kelly. Here is to his health and may any of his issues, whatever they may be, be resolved in the most positive way. As for the "comedians" on this board who think that they are funny, you should be ashamed of yourselves as human beings, making insensitive cracks about him. I have to wonder why anyone would do that. If you're a Bills' fan then why would you joked about Jim Kelly's health??! And if you're not a Bills' fan then why would you come on a Bills' message board and take callous shots at one of our best representatives??! Mods, I'm all for Freedom of Speech but c'mon, this is a Bills' forum, can't one of you monitor this kind of trash??! For all of the Bills' fans who love this franchise/organization, we shouldn't be subjected to this kind of bs, dumping on one of the greatest Bills' icons of all time. It's actually harassment when you come to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Im hoping that because she was so loose about it, it isnt anything that serious I'm fearing her post means the opposite but obviously hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm fearing her post means the opposite but obviously hoping for the best. I won't lie.... "It's bad but we don't want to talk til we know how bad" was my gut interpretation. Won't be long til the media pushes this though, and we will likely get an answer quick. Hopefully were all just being paranoid. If it was the well known surgeries - there's no reason to not mention it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 “And then a week and a half ago they found a major cyst from my gums to my nasal cavity and they had to cut that out — the size of a nickel — and they had to pull out all of my front teeth.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Well it is something pretty serious if his wife is asking for prayers.....let's all pray for the guy. Jill is simply one amazing women for what she has gone through in her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cynical about so many things, but I am thankful for the player Jim Kelly was, and the man he became. Get well, Jim. Exactly, no one has done more for this team and community than Jim. If there is some serious issue he has my support and respect. If there is NO issue he has my admiration and respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
