Thank you, Canton, thank you Buffalo and God bless. "

RIP Hunter. God bless!

Thanks man...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Kelly family...

May God comfort Jim and his family at this sad time. What a shame. I can't imagine the heartache.

Well of course.

We may hate each other's teams, but that's just football. A tragedy like this just goes to show how unimportant it is at times.

In life, we're all humans, and a loss like this hurts everyone. I really wish there was something I could do for Jim Kelly right now, because I know how depressed he and his wife must be.

That's aweful.. I'm really sorry to hear that. My prayers to his family.

If this doesn't tug at your heart strings, nothing will. We all know Hunter is no longer feeling any pain and is in a place that knows no suffering.

you know what's kind of weird...the Bills and Fins are rivals...we get into heated discussions and arguements and we diss each other and our opponents...but I always remembered how Dan was always pulling for Jim in the Superbowl...I remember how Dan wanted Jim Kelly to get his ring and make the QB class of 83 look good.
