Losing Jolly is a blow... assuming Jenkins is gone, DE suddenly looks very thin again.

No, I would think normal people would feel the least bad for rapists, murderers and violent criminals. A codeine addict/user who had everything most of us dream of in his hands and then pissed it away while not hurting anyone but himself. . . I'll bet there are a lot of people who pity him. It's too bad. I don't even think he made it long enough to get the NFL pension. He's now a regular, uneducated, street bum with obvious mental problems.Originally posted by SkinBasket View PostNo, you really don't. At all.

When Jolly got in trouble the first time, there was an article that mentioned the Packers tried to convince him to move from Houston. They said in GB he was a dedicated, contentious guy who was consumed by football. One of the coaches said he never had a player who enjoyed the game as much as Jolly. I think it was a college coach who said they worried about Jolly only in the off seasons, because he was a follower who couldn't break away from "friends" that weren't the best influence on him.
I know he is a man, responsible for his own decisions. But articles don't paint him as a bad person toward others, just a self-destructive person. The only person he really has hurt is himself. For that reason I do feel sorry for him.

+1.Originally posted by Bretsky View Postvery sad; many of us were cheering for his healthy return. TT IMO will draft the BPA in round one. Odds are he'll nab a DL with one of the top three picks but he'll get us players who can help. Would be nice to somehow lure Jenkins back now but that's prolly a pipe dream

Well, at least I have an education, but, I'm a street bum that pissed it all away. We don't need your pity, but, can you spare a dime?Originally posted by JustinHarrell View PostNo, I would think normal people would feel the least bad for rapists, murderers and violent criminals.

But add a sad story background to give some dimension to your theoretical rapists, murderers and violent criminals and viola! Instant sympathy!Originally posted by JustinHarrell View PostNo, I would think normal people would feel the least bad for rapists, murderers and violent criminals.
The guy was a pro athlete on his last chance and he couldn't stop drinking cough syrup to save his career and the millions of dollars that went with it. *sob*"You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - Partial

An update on this (complete with a cute little photo of him)
Johnny Jolly denied bail, will remain in jail

Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly, who is almost certainly soon to become “former Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly” will be spending the next three weeks locked up. Jolly, as you know, was arrested on possession of a controlled substance in Houston last week.
Jolly appeared in court Wednesday and was denied bail. Thus, he’ll remain in custody until his next court date, April 20 (ironic date for a drug-related case).
Police officers last week arrested Jolly after finding a bottle containing 600 grams of codeine (aka Purple Drank) and another containing an unidentified substance under the seats of his car.
Jolly was suspended by Roger Goodell for all of the 2010 season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Last August, Jolly settled drug charges for a separate incident in 2008 in which he was arrested for having 200 grams of codeine. Jolly made a deal with prosecutors that allowed him to avoid felony trial as long as he stayed out of trouble for the next year. Oops.--
Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
