Been a hard couple days here in Buffalo (Re: The Bills)

First, we find out that Jim Kelly's cancer has returned and is spreading and then our team's owner, Ralph Wilson, passed today. He was the only owner this team had ever had, and on top of the city-wide grief we now get to content with whether the next owner will relocate the team.

And before anyone asks why this is in GD, Ralph Wilson is/was one of the iconic figures in the NFL, and I think his passing is legitimately national news. RIP, Ralph Wilson.

And I would agree on Ralph Wilson.

My heart goes out to Jill Kelly right now - she's had more than enough.


I also think re Jim Kelly and Jill Kelly - regardless of their strong Republican bend - Look at Hunter's Hope

Thanks to them - there's a very good chance that since Hunter was born and subsequently died . . . that your child got genetic testing and blood work out of the gate that their son did not get. His illness could have been stopped with just the right blood work as an infant. They've done tremendous work for every child born in this country to get at least a shot at prevention before they even leave the hospital.

It is really tough on me. I remember the 90s very well. I was disappointed each year that they lost the big one. I have met Jim and Andre Reed.

I listen to The Ticket out of Dallas every morning. They spoke about this at length this morning.

It's all over my friends' and relatives' FB.
