Jim Kelly’s football camp was already on the schedule. So he wasn’t going to let something as minor as surgery keep him away from it.
Three days after his latest procedure which was part of his cancer treatment Keke Coutee Jersey , the Hall of Fame quarterback was playing flag football at his annual camp.
“This is my life,” Kelly said, via Jack Goods of the Buffalo News. “This is why I do it. If you don’t love it doing it for 31 years, then something is wrong with you. My heart is in it.”
Kelly spent part of his time in a golf cart, but was able to participate with campers at New Era Field.
Last week Ryan Griffin Jersey , he had a follow-up surgery to put five implants in his jaw to help reconstruct the area taken away because of cancer. Her said he’d have two more procedures in August and September to help rebuild his mouth and put permanent dentures in.
“I knew I’d be here, but I didn’t know how much I would participate,” he said. “The only part for me [that’s hard] to do a lot of is talking. My upper jaw is completely covered in stitches. But I’ve been hit after games and I was a lot sorer. It’s all good. . . . It seems like every year I’m sore three or four times for a period of time. It is what it is. I just keep fighting, and hopefully one day I’ll be able to walk out of my front door and feel good.
“I’ve got a lot of things on my plate that I want to do and I can’t do them when I’m in this state. But I’m going to keep working. The Good Lord is the only one who knows what the outcome is going to be for what I’m about to do, for what I’m about to go through. I still have a few more surgeries to come Mike Ditka Jersey , and I take it one day at a time.”
Kelly’s next appearance is scheduled for mid-July, when he’ll receive the Jimmy V award at the ESPYs in Los Angeles.
Jon Gruden would like to see instant replay for officiating disappear. So would Pete Carroll.
The two Super Bowl-winning coaches aren’t fans of video reviews, particularly the slow-motion replays. They also recognize that replay isn’t going away.
”I don’t like instant replay,” Carroll said Tuesday at the NFL meetings. ”I like the game played on the field. The scrutiny of the officials has become so intense, they don’t call the game like they used to Reggie Wayne Jersey , I feel. That didn’t mean I didn’t argue with them any more or any less.
”There are so many reasons why replay has been a positive factor in our game, but I don’t like it,” the Seahawks coach added.
Gruden returned to coaching this year, with the Raiders, after working as the ESPN analyst on Monday night games. So replay was a beneficial tool for him as an announcer Garett Bolles Jersey , giving him an opportunity to break down the action even more insightfully.
As a coach, he would have no qualms if it was eliminated.
”Let the naked eye make the call,” Gruden said. ”Eliminate instant replay and let the officials call the game.
”Slow motion is the biggest problem with replay. Throw slo-mo out and get back to common sense.”
