Quickie

Around 1:30 a.m. on Friday night/Saturday morning, Chanuck and I were in the lobby of our NYC hotel waiting for the extremely slow elevator. There were a few other people in the small-but-fashionable lobby, who appeared to have just come in (from National, judging by the luggage tags). One man in particular, who was very tall and wearing a (ick) Sabres hat, seemed very jumpy and nervous and wouldn't stop moving around; he caught my eye for that reason. But I never recognize anyone; they never look like their on-field or on-screen personas. Chanuck whispered in my ear, "That's Jim Kelly, the Bills quarterback." Sure enough, it was. Wonder what he was doing in the Big Apple...

Kelly = Irish right?

He was probably grand wizarding the parade or something.

Good call, Lucky!

From the NY Post:
"March 16, 2007 -- WHEN Vanity Fair's Michael Wolff sets foot in Michael's tonight, it will be the first time he'll be back to his regular lunch spot since he was denied his customary table No. 5 two years ago and he vowed never to return. Wolff just can't stay away from the fourth annual Kelly Gang fund-raiser. NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly will present the Gang's Person of the Year Award to Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly, who with his wife, Jill, has raised more than $4 million for Hunter's Hope Foundation, which fights Krabbe disease."
