‘”He’s been in and out of hospitals all his life, and he continues to battle,” Kelly said. “Ever since I was selected, I’ve prayed every single day and night that Hunter could be there to see it.”‘

Bledsoe's Making The Difference
If you've ever had the opportunity to see or speak to Drew Bledsoe it is apparent that he is a man who possesses charisma, is down-to-earth, and is as friendly as the next guy, regardless of his "superstar" persona. This is not an act for the fans or media. This is Drew Bledsoe. This is how he was raised. This is a credit to his parents.
Kelly's coming to the Hall, and with some guest list
‘The Pro Football Hall of Fame decided a few months ago to move this year’s induction ceremony from the steps out front to the stadium next door. Perfect timing: Jim Kelly’s coming — with 1,200 guests. “At least,” Hall spokesman Joe Horrigan said.’
Bills' Spoon out indefinitely with torn biceps
‘Buffalo Bills linebacker Brandon Spoon is out indefinitely — and could miss the rest of the year — after tearing his right biceps tendon in practice on Friday.’
Postcard From Rochester [II]
‘Bills offensive guard Ruben Brown went down with an injury. Let’s hope it not serious, because the eight-year veteran is a big part of Buffalo’s offense.’

What you’re missing: A small but pretty campus that’s very quiet-definitely a great place to hold training camp.’
Kelly Leading Drive Against Krabbes Disease
‘"Jim always wanted a son, and when Hunter was first diagnosed with cerebral palsy, that just crushed Jim," Hull said. "But cerebral palsy isn’t terminal. Then, when they figured out it was Krabbes–which is terminal–I saw Jim shift gears. Jim’s a fighter, and so, obviously, is Hunter. "Jim immediately took over and said, ‘I can’t do anything to help my son. But I’m going to make damn sure that I do something to help make sure another parent doesn’t have to go through this.’ "’
Seats still available for Hall ceremony
‘Although all reserved seats have been sold, more than 9,000 free general admission seats will be available Saturday morning at the stadium on a first-come, first-serve basis.’
Motivation Centers around contending
‘"Everything is done. I’m a Bill. If everything goes as planned, I’ll finish as a Bill," he said. "It makes me feel good. It’s a quality organization and an organization that’s respected throughout the league. What more can I ask for in the twilight of my career?" How about a Super Bowl?’

Kelly's approach made him a Hall of a player
‘"Jim truly didn’t care about his individual stats. He cared about how many wins the Buffalo Bills had instead of how many touchdown passes Jim Kelly had. He measured his success by the team’s success, which is why, more often than not, he would audible to a run rather than a pass. That told you where his focus was. It was on the team."’
Stand up and be heard
‘Gray barely made a slice last season, though, when the Bills stumbled to a 3-13 record and his defense ranked 21st in total yards allowed, 26th in rushing yards allowed, 28th in third-down success and 29th in points allowed.’
It's time to play some real football
‘Saturday’s scrimmage will last two hours and each team will probably have five or six 10-play possessions where they can score as often as they can. However, if they don’t score in 10 plays, the possession ends and the other team will go on offense.’
Warning: The Dawgs are coming
‘For Cleveland fans, many of whom grew up watching Jim Brown bulldoze opposing defenders, the visit to Fisher is a dream come true.’
