Damn.--

Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly underwent a 12-hour operation Wednesday to remove oral cancer and have his upper jaw reconstructed.

According to ESPN.com's Mike Rodak, Dr. Mark Urken said the surgery was a success: "We successfully removed Mr. Kelly's cancer from his upper jaw and lymph nodes from his neck. We then reconstructed his upper jaw. Mr. Kelly is resting comfortably post-operatively."

Per Rodak, the former Buffalo Bills signal-caller is expected to remain in the hospital for two weeks following the surgery.

    Kind of wish that he had won a Super Bowl.

    I always liked Kelly and those early 90's Bills teams. Very exciting to watch. I thought they had super bowl XX in the bag. Routing for #12

    My brother had similar surgery about ten years ago. Horrible. Hoping Kelly makes as full a recovery as possible.
