Hall of Fame Quarterback Jim Kelly Battling Jaw Cancer
Jim Kelly battled through plenty on the football field. Injuries, big hits, cold weather and losing four straight Super Bowl. But nothing like losing his son Hunter to Krabbe disease in 2005. And now, nothing on the football field compares to the Hall of Famer's recent battle with jaw cancer.

How Many Good To Great Years Does David Wright Have Left [POLL]
David Wright will be in Queens for another eight years under his current deal. He is the face of the team and a terrific all-around player.
