Yeah, Jim looks great, in fact better than in years.

 

Great to see and hear our hero in this interview.

 

I hope Josh follows his lead, stays in Buffalo for the rest of his life, to some degree, and becomes the Prince of Buffalo.  Before eventually taking over as King.

Jack, Jim and Josh - we've enjoyed some real royalty at the QB position over the decades.

Don’t forget Joe!  One of the great slingers of the pigskin.

I love it.  He does look healthier than he has in a long time.  Him hopping behind the bar to pour drinks at the HOF ceremony... pure Jim!  Lol

No way!  Josh and his actress wife will be living in Southern California.

I’ve gotten old and so has Jim!  Great to hear he has put the cancer in the rear view mirror.

Thanks for posting. I had the opportunity to golf with him at an event and after hearing some of the horror stories of his younger days I wasn't quite sure what to expect. To my delight he was awesome in his character and it was one of the best times I had at these events.

You are assuming they are still husband and wife 10 years from now. For people in Hollywood, that's like 3 life time.

Regardless of Allen’s marital status, he is a Californian born and raised.  He will never make WNY his home after retiring.  If you had his wealth, would you?

Probably not but during football season I could see him attending many Bills games like many retired Bills players do. He does appreciate being a Buffalo Bill and playing for this rabid football crazed fanbase. When it's not football season I doubt he will be in WNY that much if at all.

Yes, I would definitely always  have a home in the Buffalo area too if I were Allen and had his wealth.

 

I assume he will.

 

There  are things you cannot get in Southern California, where I grew up in part, that you can in Buffalo.  (I mean the good things!)

 

Where else will he be as respected and loved as much as he is in Buffalo?

Kelly grew up in Pittsburgh so the Buffalo area was naturally more homelike compared to Cali for Allen even if he says the place resonates deeply to him. Different world now that NFL stars are quasi global stars and they maintain a small residence down the road but I would expect them to be in Cali.

The only thing that could keep him, would maybe be if he started having kids soon. Harder to move once you start planting those roots.

Yes.  I can see him coming back once or twice a year to attend games.  Keeping a home here year round just for those few days…probably not.

That is a good interview.  Agree that Kelly looks much better than he has in awhile.  Seemed very upbeat thanks to his recent good medical news.
