NFL News (Y-1)

There have been several major things happening right now in the NFL. One thing that is going on is ex quarterback Jim Kelly was diagnosed with cancer on June 3, 2013. Jim Kelly had been treated and had surgery to remove the tumor shortly after the diagnoses. Kelly was cleared of the cancer until a few days ago. Kelly was told a few days ago that the tumor had come back. Jim Kelly's wife Jill Kelly has told the press that the oral surgery is probably not the best choice right now. She also stated that "At this point and time surgery is not the best option for Jim," Jill Kelly wrote on her Facebook page. "The cancer is in areas that surgery cannot successfully eradicate." Reporters say that Kelly was originally scheduled for five to six weeks of chemotherapy after his surgery. Reports say Kelly learned on March 14 that cancerous cells, which doctors removed from his jaw in June 2013, had returned. His wife said in a blog post last week that the cancer was "aggressive" and "starting to spread." Reporters also say the 54-year-old Kelly, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002, has received prayers and support across social media. More NFL news that involves Buffalo is the death of Ralph Wilson Jr. Wilson was the founder of the Buffalo Bills and has died on March 25, 2014 at the age of 95 years old. Following the death of owner Ralph Wilson, the future of the Buffalo Bills in Western New York is in doubt. "No one loved this game more than Ralph Wilson," said Bills president/CEO Russ Brandon, who learned of the news from Wilson's widow, Mary, on Tuesday afternoon. Brandon also stated that he was a great man and an unbelievable leader. Wilson was Brandon's boss for about 18 years.
