Hope he's doing well (enough).

He's definitely had some serious health issues.

No different from what we'll all face at some point.

I'd say what the guy's gone through with burying his son and now his own severe issues all before the age of 60 is slightly different than what most (definitely not all but most) of us face. If you're talking general mortality then that's obviously right.

I'm personally just glad to see the guy out in public and looking relatively well. I really thought after this last surgery that he may not be visible if it didn't go well or was particularly heinous visually.

I'd love to see him around our team this summer if possible. Josh Allen really seemed greatly affected by just being around the guy at the Bills facility.

Grew up in Buffalo in the 80s and 90s watching this guy dominate. Sometimes you don't realize how lucky you are to have a guy like that until he's gone. Hope he's on the road to recovery.

BTW, #17 needs to drop a few lbs.

Haha. I thought the same thing. People were saying the same about Darnold too. It'd be funny if this Draft ends up being deemed "The Year of the Fat QB".

As far as Kelly, I grew up in Western PA and seeing him and Marino and Montana and all these guys from the area killing it during the 80s and early 90s while we had Mark Malone and Todd Blackledge and Bubby Brister creating a dumpster fire in the Steelers backfield wasn't exactly a great feeling.
 
I always picked him as the greatest Miami QB ever. My reasoning is that we had the brainy guys (Kosar,Walsh,Dorsey) and the athletic guys (Testeverde, Mira,) and Just plain tough (Toretta). Kelly was all of these things.

Without Jim Kelly, IMO there is no birth of 'the U'. I've said it before and I stand by that. He was THAT important to this program

Kelly was QB when I first got my season tickets at the OB. He is part of what ended up being Canes greatness. Yes he was and still is as tough as they come. God bless him!
 
Kelly Too Brodsky for the 80yd TD against #1 Penn St in 81...could very well be the most important play in UM History.....I was there....it was rainy...and THAT win showed the country that UM was no joke....We upset Penn St at Happy Valley in 79....but they were only ranked I think 18th.

Nah u should try medium well that’s the best way to eat a steak imo... well done is over cooked.

Just so you know, everyone at a steakhouse worth a **** is laughing at you people. A well prepared, safely handled rare or medium rare steak is no less hazardous than a well done product. At a lot of great steakhouses, they won't even prepare your steak above medium, because it's a waste of good meat.

I’m not concerned about safety I just like medium well steaks. Medium rare I can let live but if u eat a rare steak u look ridiculous.

It’s not visually appealing watching all that red **** flood the entire plate, drowning the loaded baked potato and broccoli.

Tell em what's good.

I also like well done prime ribeyes. If they know how to cook it correctly it is still juicy and delicious.

The 1981 team is one of the most underrated teams in Miami history. The defense was lights out and if not getting jobbed in Austin and Starksville Miami would have gone undefeated. Nobody was playing better football in the country than Miami at the end of the season.
