Cause dragging your name into the fray is sure to illicit a response. :) |

I think the odds a slim he plays ball again. If other hurdles are ... umm ... hurdled ... I feel probation should encourage Johnny Jolly's path to the NFL, as opposed to blocking it. Then again, the NFL could provide a support system for Jolly, or it could provide him financial means to continue his addiction on a grander scale. |

DakotaT said: Well Jolly certainly shirked all of his responsibility with addiction from the beginning, like most do. It wasn't until he was at the end of his rope that he finally came around and new he needed help. It would be a very good story if we stuck with him and he made it back to the field, but I think a lot of Packer fans have already written him off. I'd be pulling for him though. There isn't anything better in our country than when a person with 2.5 strikes against him makes it. Deep down, we all root for that kind of thing. Nah. I don't give a shit about any of that. I just want our D-Line to be better... |

Fuck him. I watch how so many aspire to these so few spots, and I cannot have any sympathy. I'm sure we have let so many go that would have ultimiately been better than him as a football player in the first place, much less as a grateful (non-entitled) human being in the 2nd. He had his chances. Go bag groceries, Mr. Jolly, and reflect upon what everyone (but you) gave you to that point in your life.
I want plastic, you overly-entitled- worthless-piece- of-shit-waste-of-God-given-talent.
Other than that, I have no opinion. [-( |
 damn skippy I'm an owner. I currently own a full .00001924537805515393 % of the Green Bay Packers. |

So, since he signed the contract, and is not reinstated, I believe he is the Packers property. Right? |

I think we do still retain his rights...
Why did the league wait 9 months to reinstate him? |

According to the broadcast I heard the Packers have rights to him. If he's clean and is good enough to earn a spot I'd welcome him. Heck, Lewis is probably connected with a murder and will go into the HOF. Jolly paid his debt to society if he can earn a spot let him play. What he did was stupid and wrong but we have politicians and business leaders of position that have done worse and they're still free making millions and even hundreds of millions of dollars. |
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame? |
