I watched the A Football life on Jim and didn't learn a ton more than I already knew. I didn't remember him having shoulder surgery before the season before the draft. It was interesting to hear Don Shula's comments regarding Jim, considering how he went with Marino and Kelly shredded them both each time we met in the playoffs!
I always remembered the opening game against the Jets and Klecko nailing Jim on a cheap shot. But, true to the "linebacker QB", he just got up and went to work. Loved the toughness about the guy.
But, the most enduring thing about Jim is how he was adamant that he wasn't going to go to Buffalo. WAs so against the idea of playing here, yet, after his career was over, decided to stay and put down roots here. He's become a great Western New York citizen and ambassador to the City. That, to me, is one of his greatest accomplishments.
