Buffalo Bill Meets Dancing with the Stars? Rumor Patrol
Technically, @DWTSGossip beat me to this one. 🙂 It would not surprise me if he ends up on the show this season – we had no NFL last season, did we?? Anyway, from Erin Kelly’s Twitter:
Thoughts?? Seems like a nice guy, but I know nothing about him.
ETA: Erin says her dad declined because he needs to “continue to recover.” He recently finished his chemo treatments for cancer.
OMG…..He is soooo loved in NY (and NYC lol). What a great guy!
Should mention…his son died very young and Jim now has cancer. he led Bills to 4 straight superbowl appearances.
Heidi,
You don’t know Buffalo Bill, Jim Kelly? That’s sad that you missed him. I just saw a documentary covering his cancer recovery. Really inspirational. As Lex mentioned, he made it to 4 super bowls and lost all of them. Then, his son died. Then, he got cancer and just finished treatments. Talk about some challenges. A lot of people wear shirts for him that say #KellyTough
I’m bad, I know. I do watch and enjoy football, I just don’t pay much attention to the stories outside the Titans.
Post has been updated, unfortunately. He sounds like he would be great on the show.
Being a football fan, I am very familiar with Jim Kelly. If he feels well enough to do the show, it would be great seeing him.
Oh I just saw the update. Looks like he feels he needs to recover more with his cancer.
Interesting. I hope he changes his mind and does the show if he is able to!!
I just googled him. This guy really is someone that I would LOVE to see on the show. Not because of how famous he is but because of how nice he seems to be.
Yeah, that’s too bad he declined. Jim Kelly is a great guy! I know who he is. We live eat and breathe (Steeler) Football at my house.
