Prayers Pouring In For Legendary Quarterback Jim Kelly On Saturday
Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly is asking NFL fans to keep his family in their thoughts this weekend.
Kelly had an incredible run with the Bills, earning Pro Bowl honors five times and making the Super Bowl four times. Unfortunately, he has dealt with a ton of obstacles over the years. In 2023, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in his jaw. He then contracted MRSA within his bones.
Thankfully, Kelly has been cancer free for a few years now. The bad news, however, is that daughter Erin's newborn child was born with unexpected medical complications.
"Our continued prayer is that Little Bean's body will begin to heal and adjust to all that took place this morning… that his body will strengthen… and that, in time, he'll be able to come off the ventilator and be able to go home. We are trusting God for strength, for restoration, and for many little miracles in the days ahead. Please also cover Parker and Erin in prayer. They are physically and emotionally exhausted — yet holding onto gratitude, hope, and deep faith in the One who holds their precious baby boy," Kelly said.
Over the weekend, Kelly asked NFL fans to pray for his grandson.
"Please continue to pray for our Little Bean. While we are so grateful that his procedure went well, the road ahead is still long and filled with many intricate, delicate steps in his healing journey," Kelly wrote on Instagram. "There's so much happening beneath the surface — things only God can fully see and understand. We are praying specifically that Little Bean's body will begin to heal and adjust to everything that took place…That his lungs and heart and all of his other vital organs will grow stronger…That he'll be able to come off the ventilator and breathe on his own.That every organ, every function, every breath will align and respond to the intervention and critical care he's receiving.
"This journey is very complex - and we're trusting the One who knit him together to continue holding every detail in His hands.Please also lift up Erin and Parker. They're carrying so much as parents, and they need strength, peace, and rest in the waiting."
Unsurprisingly, NFL fans are sending kind thoughts to the Kelly family.
"Sending love & healing prayers for Baby Bean, Erin, Parker," one fan replied.
"Wow we all are praying for little bean. As well as for your deserving family. May the weight come off soon," a second fan wrote.
"Praying for Erin, Parker and their sweet baby Bean," another fan said. "Asking God to be present in every step of this journey, to steady the minds and hands of every provider and to sustain him as he heals. Sending you all love and lots of hope
We're hoping the next update from Kelly is a positive one.Prayers Pouring In For Legendary Quarterback Jim Kelly On Saturday first appeared on The Spun on Jul 19, 2025

Jupiter Shampoo And Conditioner: A Dandruff Treatment I Can't Live Without
I've suffered from dry scalp intermittently since college, although early on it was restricted to the winter months. Over the last ten years, though, I've struggled with itchy scalp and dandruff year-round. I've tried various medicinal dandruff shampoos, changing my hair washing habits and I've even seen dermatologists for topical treatments. But it wasn't until I tried Jupiter's Balancing Shampoo and Nourishing Conditioner that I finally had dry scalp and dandruff relief. Jupiter's Balancing Shampoo and Nourishing Conditioner transformed my scalp from itchy and flaky to ... More healthy and clear. Molly Calhoun For Forbes Jupiter was founded in 2000, but I didn't learn about it until 2023 during a desperate internet search. I was discouraged by big-name brands and their stinky, ineffective formulas, and I was laser focused on protecting my financial—and emotional—investment in my color-treated hair. After all, what's the good in having no dandruff if you have faded, scraggly strands? I was looking for a modern, sexier dandruff shampoo because, let's be honest, if I'm succumbing to my vanity I'm going all in. Within just a couple of days of using Jupiter's Balancing Shampoo and Nourishing Conditioner, the itching on my head stopped, I had meaningfully less dandruff and still had bouncy, shiny hair. Jupiter Jupiter Balancing Shampoo And Nourishing Conditioner Those without dandruff don't fully understand the embarrassment that comes with it. I used to live in fear of accidentally scratching my head and giving away my secret. Dark clothes became a total liability since they put dry flakes on display for anyone standing behind me in a line. But using this shampoo and conditioner set took away that self-consciousness. It's made with 1% zinc pyrithione to combat fungal infections that cause dandruff and promote scalp health, and it has gentle surfactants and hydrating plant extracts and oils that work to condition the scalp. Glycolic acid exfoliates, while squalane and sugar kelp extract work to condition and moisturize to prevent flakes and itching. I work out five or so days a week, and I found that this formula effectively removes excess oil and sweat after runs or trips to the gym. It's free of all the things you don't want (sulfates, parabens, phthalates), and it's made with 100% natural fragrance, so it doesn't have a strong medicinal smell or a cloying synthetic scent that makes you nauseous throughout your day. It's minty with vague botanical undertones, but the scent is minimal when hair dries, so it doesn't compete with other fragrances. Jupiter's Balancing Shampoo has a thick consistency and a light, minty scent. Molly Calhoun For Forbes Admittedly, I spend a lot of money at the salon: I have dark hair that I color monthly, and I get a keratin treatment once or twice a year to smooth frizz. Most other dandruff shampoos aren't color-safe, so I wouldn't use them often for fear that they'd strip color from my hair. (Not shockingly, my dandruff would persist as a result.) Jupiter's shampoo and conditioner don't compromise my color so I can use them daily if I want to. The shampoo has a thick consistency—a little goes a long way—so when shampooing I add a lot of water to work it into a good lather. I let it sit on my scalp two to three minutes before rinsing to reap the benefits. I currently use the Balancing Shampoo and Nourishing Conditioner three to four times per week because I've found that's the frequency I need to keep dandruff at bay. While I've always had incredibly thick hair that I take pride in, I've noticed the first signs of thinning, and I think my scalp issues are largely to blame. But one additional—and surprising—benefit of this shampoo is that I've noticed less shedding when using it. This formula has also been proven to reduce hair breakage by more than 75 percent. While it may seem unimportant to some, I liked that the Jupiter shampoo and conditioner bottles ... More didn't slip out of my hands easily in the shower, and it was easy to squeeze out the product. Molly Calhoun For Forbes I've found that for the most part, when a conditioner comes with a shampoo as a set I'm typically underwhelmed by its effectiveness. Jupiter's formula is made with probiotics to normalize the scalp, calming oatmeal, vitamin E, safflower and argan oils to nourish, and pataua oil, which is known for bond-strengthening properties. Each bottle contains 14 ounces, so you get plenty of product. Molly Calhoun For Forbes When I first squeezed this formula out of the bottle, I was skeptical—its consistency wasn't as thick as some other formulas I love, although it had a very nice, subtle vanilla scent. I usually apply conditioner only from my ponytail to my ends, but the instructions said to apply it on hair and massage it onto my scalp. I reluctantly did so and let it absorb for about a minute before rinsing thoroughly. I was pleasantly surprised that it made my hair silky without weighing it down, and it completely eliminates any itchy feeling from my scalp. I'm able to execute a glossy, bouncy blowout that doesn't get prematurely greasy or flat, either.
