Jim Kelly's agent and Brother Dan says tonight that Baltimore has not made a
contract offer for Jim to return to the N-F-L.
The Buffalo news reported today that the Ravens have offered the 37 year old
former Bills quarterback a three year contract.
Kelly, who retired as the Bills all time leading passer last season, says he
might consider playing again as a way to help raise money to fight a rare
disease that's afflicted his son, Hunter.

A Shinto priest in Tokyo has come up with a high-tech way to for people to
pay their respects.
Because of land shortages, an entire Tokyo cemetary has been laid out in
cyberspace.
Mourners can just point and click for candles, flowers and incense.
The new technology is not without its critics, though.
Some people say it will cheapen the greiving process.
