So darn sad. #KellyStrong again. Prayers for him and his family. One of the greatest QB's out there and such a good guy.

This is very sad, but their strong faith is very admirable. Praying!

I have often mentioned I love my neighbours to the south, Buffalo and Niagara Falls NY. Here is one example why.

Because of this:

Dalton and his wife, Jordan, have founded the Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation, which aims to help families and children in need. After Dalton helped the Bengals defeat the Baltimore Ravens in 2017, which allowed the Buffalo Bills to enter the playoffs, many Bills fans donated to his foundation in gratitude for helping their team snap their 17-year playoff drought. In less than a week, donations exceeded a total of $360,000 from over 16,000 donors. Most donations were for $17 which was symbolized the 17-year playoff drought the Bengals ended with their victory over the Ravens. Dalton and his wife thanked Buffalo Bills fans by renting five billboards in Buffalo area that read "Thank you Buffalo and good luck

Dalton graduated from TCU here in Texas . My daughter was lucky enough to watch him play and have classes with him while she was there for four years. He is awesome man and married his his high school sweetheart !

@whit90 how cool is that!

When all that happened, it was nuts in that area. It was on the radio and news, constantly updating the donations. It took off so quickly. What a great way to show their thanks. Here is a pic of one of the billboards which were located on busy highways.

His wife is a cutie.

I'm just catching up on this thread. I'm so sad to read about Jim Kelly and I hope and pray that he recovers. I am such a lifelong fan of the Bills. I lived in Buffalo during Jim Kelly's time as QB and the many Superbowl losses. The fans are amazing! (although I thought they were crazy at first). Thanks for these updates GA!

Andy is a good guy. I remembered his TCU days as well.

Jim Kelly! What can I say! Such a great man! Here’s the link of his 2018 ESPYS Jimmy V award speech. Get your Kleenex ready.

@sparkler I always watched Jim Kelly in those days. He's been fighting hard, so far so good, fingers crossed. He was golfing the other day with Thurman Thomas (another blast from the past) and he's looking good.

I am very happy that my oldest son's favorite team is going to the super bowl win or lose and that is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I am a lover of all things football, from pee wee leagues to the pros, and I must say that I have always liked the Tampa Bay's emblem of the scull with the 2 crossed swords!! love it.

I'm 30 minutes from Buffalo and there a a lot of Bills fans in my area. They had an amazing season, just couldn't get there. I feel bad for them.

Super Bowl is always exciting to watch and this year is no exception!

Good luck to both teams!

I just can’t get past the Packers blowing their chance by going for a field goal. I can never root for a Tom Brady team so go Kansas City!
