Prayers Pouring In For Legendary Quarterback Jim Kelly On Saturday
Prayers Pouring In For Legendary Quarterback Jim Kelly On Saturday originally appeared on The Spun. Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly is asking NFL fans to keep his family in their thoughts this weekend. Kelly had an incredible run with the Bills, earning Pro Bowl honors five times and making the Super Bowl four times. Unfortunately, he has dealt with a ton of obstacles over the years. In 2023, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in his jaw. He then contracted MRSA within his bones. Thankfully, Kelly has been cancer free for a few years now. The bad news, however, is that daughter Erin's newborn child was born with unexpected medical complications. "Our continued prayer is that Little Bean's body will begin to heal and adjust to all that took place this morning… that his body will strengthen… and that, in time, he'll be able to come off the ventilator and be able to go home. We are trusting God for strength, for restoration, and for many little miracles in the days ahead. Please also cover Parker and Erin in prayer. They are physically and emotionally exhausted — yet holding onto gratitude, hope, and deep faith in the One who holds their precious baby boy," Kelly said. Over the weekend, Kelly asked NFL fans to pray for his grandson. "Please continue to pray for our Little Bean. While we are so grateful that his procedure went well, the road ahead is still long and filled with many intricate, delicate steps in his healing journey," Kelly wrote on Instagram. "There's so much happening beneath the surface — things only God can fully see and understand. We are praying specifically that Little Bean's body will begin to heal and adjust to everything that took place…That his lungs and heart and all of his other vital organs will grow stronger…That he'll be able to come off the ventilator and breathe on his every organ, every function, every breath will align and respond to the intervention and critical care he's receiving. "This journey is very complex - and we're trusting the One who knit him together to continue holding every detail in His also lift up Erin and Parker. They're carrying so much as parents, and they need strength, peace, and rest in the waiting." Unsurprisingly, NFL fans are sending kind thoughts to the Kelly family. "Sending love & healing prayers for Baby Bean, Erin, Parker," one fan replied. "Wow we all are praying for little bean. As well as for your deserving family. May the weight come off soon," a second fan wrote. "Praying for Erin, Parker and their sweet baby Bean," another fan said. "Asking God to be present in every step of this journey, to steady the minds and hands of every provider and to sustain him as he heals.

Jim Kelly ranks top 15 all-time Super Bowl era QBs, surpassing NFL icons (Image via: Getty Images) Jim Kelly was recently ranked No. 15 among the Top 30 quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, ahead of Lamar Jackson, Bart Starr, and Warren Moon. While the Buffalo Bills legend never won a Super Bowl, his role in shaping modern NFL offense and leading four straight Super Bowl runs makes his legacy one of the league's most impactful. What makes Jim Kelly a top 15 quarterback of the Super Bowl era During the 1990s, the Buffalo Bills built one of the most consistent teams in NFL history. Under center for their unforgettable run was Jim Kelly, a quarterback known for toughness, leadership, and innovation. Kelly led the Bills to four straight Super Bowl appearances from 1990 to 1993, an NFL record that still hasn't been matched. A 13-person expert panel recently ranked the top quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, and Kelly came in at No. 15. That ranking speaks volumes, considering he was placed ahead of MVPs and Hall of Famers. Tyler Dunne of Go Long, who contributed to the rankings, praised Kelly for changing the sport with his no-huddle, up-tempo K-Gun offense. He described Kelly as a quarterback who could read defenses in seconds and make difficult throws look effortless, even in harsh Buffalo weather. Kelly's regular season record from 1990 to 1993 was 48-13. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urologists Urge Men To Try This Breakthrough for ED Bring Back Fast Read More Undo While he fell short in each of his four Super Bowl appearances, the fact that he reached the big game in four consecutive seasons remains one of the most impressive achievements in NFL history. Even now, teams like the Kansas City Chiefs with all their firepower and success are struggling to replicate what Kelly's Bills accomplished. If the Chiefs fail to make it to the Super Bowl this season, Kelly's feat may never be equaled.

Ocean City 2050 to Present 'A Better Idea' for Wonderland Pier at June 21 Public Meeting
Ocean City, NJ June 17, 2025 --( )-- With the future of Wonderland Pier at a crossroads, the local citizens group Ocean City 2050 will unveil a bold alternative vision for the site at a public meeting on Saturday, June 21st at 10:00 AM at the Ocean City Free Public Library. The proposal, titled A Better Idea, offers a fully financeable, mixed-use concept that blends amusements, public space, boutique lodging, retail, dining, and digital entertainment — all designed to energize the Boardwalk while staying true to Ocean City's identity as America's Greatest Family Resort. 'The loss of Wonderland doesn't have to be a crisis — it can be an opportunity,' said Jim Kelly, founder and spokesperson for Ocean City 2050. 'This is a chance for Ocean City to take our world-class Boardwalk and position it for the next twenty years — to expand its offerings to reflect evolving demographics, while staying true to our family-first brand. We can grow without straying from our path. This is the moment for Ocean City to shine — and to chart a course that draws real consensus and broad community support.' While an alternative in design, A Better Idea was not designed to supplant the current owner but instead leverage his strengths. 'Mr. Mita is a proven boutique hotel operator and this plan is positioned right in his wheelhouse,' said Bill Merritt, also of Ocean City 2050. 'It's a plan that offers a clear path forward, can draw broad consensus and avoid years of costly litigation, and presents an opportunity to build both a great legacy and substantial profit.' The plan responds directly to the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce's call for conversation, compromise, and consensus, offering an inclusive vision that delivers year-round activity, supports local businesses, enhances public space, and preserves the open feel and small-town charm that residents and visitors have cherished for generations. The public is invited to attend, hear the full presentation, and be part of shaping the conversation on this once-in-a-generation opportunity for Ocean City's future. Event Details: Community Presentation: A Better Idea for Wonderland Pier Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM Location: Ocean City Free Public Library, 1735 Simpson Avenue, Ocean City, NJ For media inquiries or additional information, please contact: [email protected] Contact Information: OceanCity2050 Bill Merritt (610)864-8966 Contact via Email Read the full story here: Ocean City 2050 to Present 'A Better Idea' for Wonderland Pier at June 21 Public Meeting Press Release Distributed by
