I see that guy on ESPN today. He looks fit, happy.

Great! Wasn't he the guy who had the drug busts? I hope Johnny Jolly finds some sort of stability in his life after his drug disasters, but odds probably not so great.

Yup. Arrested with 200+ pounds or marijuana. A month later, arrested with 175 pounds.
Maybe it was just for personal use?

What did he do, go out and get a total gastrectomy?

He lost 175 pounds.

A guy who earns all-pro money for 13 years, then turns to selling pot, must have made some bad investments. I'll let Madtown speak to this issue, but selling weed has to be about the worst risk/reward business imaginable, or at least it used to be.

Anyway, it is good to see him bounce back. Hope he gets into the new legal marijuana bonanza.

I wonder how his former teammate Erik Williams is doing. That dirty, low-down son of a bitch.

Every time you say his name, Jurko needs to get his knee scoped.

Yep, no $$ in selling ganja. Gotta be a grower to turn a profit. Most folks just selling to pay for their own smoke.

Yup. That play derailed the Packers in their bid for a major CG upset and wrecked Jurko's career all in one.
