stevestojan Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 I was just flipping through the channels and saw a preview for the 11:00 channel 7 news and they said "Jim Kelly to get into politics?" and that was it. Anyone hear anything about this? Sorry if its a repost. It's funny, but I'm pretty sure if Jimbo ran for any office in WNY, he would win by a landslide....
stevestojan Posted May 31, 2005 Author Posted May 31, 2005 Is he and his wife still happily married? 348439[/snapback] huh?
Frez Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 You bring up Jimbo and I was just thinking about what I heard awhile back. I heard he and his wife were on the outs.
drnykterstein Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Now the real question is... which Jim Kelly are we all referring to?
BillsFanForever19 Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 That's funny you mentioned that. He was at the George W. Bush speech in Rochester and my dad kept mentioning that he thinks he'll get into politics. Keep me posted!
jester43 Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 hope he doesn't run for anything i can vote for- it'll break my heart to have to vote against him...
stevestojan Posted June 1, 2005 Author Posted June 1, 2005 hope he doesn't run for anything i can vote for- it'll break my heart to have to vote against him... 348511[/snapback] maybe he'll run for mayor of Buffalo or Erie County executive. Then you (or anyone with a brain) should have no problem voting for him.

He can take the economy all the way to the brink of greatness. Then he'll get drunk the night before a big vote and end up fumbling all of WNY's money to New York, Washington, or Dallas.
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Given the way he ran his restautrsnt into the ground and stiffed a lot of small local vendors who provided food, washed the linen etc. I thought he was already in charge of the Erie County budget which is running way in the red.

Corp000085 Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Yeah, he's got a lot of skeletons... Like, Night of the Living Dead skeletons. I think it would be in his best interests not to run.
Hot Pockets Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 He's dumber than a fence post but I'VE HEARD OF HIM ! His qualifications include his QB skills from 10 years ago and his successful restaurant business. Oops, check that. DING ! LOST is on TiVo, gotta go ! Vote Jimbo !
DeeRay Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 This would be sad if true. I always looked at Jimbo as a straight shooter and honest guy. If he throws his hat into the political ring... well, let me put it this way... He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of effecting any significant change... not in this state. So, his only other motive would be to get in on the "action".... and by that I mean "getting his piece of the pie"... the taxpayers $$$. Albany and NYC is a sesspool of worthless, corrupt politicians... and it sickens me to even think that Jimbo would want to get in bed with these bastards.

Arkady Renko Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 You do not need a genius to run things in Buffalo/Erie County. You just need someone with common sense.

We should not cede political office to just the greedy and the corrupt. One change might not make much a difference but it would be a start.
