Jolly

[bobblehead]

Was Jolly's crime really worse than Michael Vicks'?
Ben Roethlisberger's?
Ray Lewis'
Donte Stallworth's?
Fred Evan's?
Ricky Mannings'?

The many other players guilty of domestic battery, assault or steroid abuse?

About the same, no, no, no, who is fred evans, and no. I guess you make a good point, JJ was made whipping boy for hurting himself, while others get a pass on hurting others.

Moral crusaders!!!! My first post in months and this is what I wasted it on.

Jesus, find me.

On a football related note, I agree with Patler. Consuming a little purple drank is no worse than sexual assault, or beating ones spouse, girlfriend, or baby's momma.

I'm not convinced. In Iraq beating ones spouse would be considered ones right (under Partial and Hoosiers definition of "right")

As part of the collective bargaining agreement , all future rules violations will be handled by James Harrison.

As part of the collective bargaining agreement, James Harrison can't hit anyone. Ever. For any reason.

Deion Sanders would have loved that rule.

Good thing they don't play American football in Iraq. Or maybe that's a bad thing..

Per Chicago Tribune (always a fun read the day after a Bears loss), both Jolly and Underwood have been sent to the principal's office and are facing discipline for last summer's transgressions. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...,1283264.story

Where did they find a Solomon to determine who gets disciplined and who gets a "get out of doghouse free card"? Eight players subjected to Personal Conduct Policy during a lockout and 24 are scot-free.

At least now I know why Benson is suing: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...against-nflpa/

[hoosier]

The Tribune says (unsourced) that the NFLPA basically threw them under the bus:

The NFL and NFL Players Assn. previously agreed those eight players could be disciplined, the AP reported, while 25 other players who got in trouble during the lockout would not be.

Looking at the eight who are about to be spanked, I am guessing that past history and previous run-ins with the principal had a lot to do with it. But without knowing who the other 25 are, hard to say what the exact criteria were.

[mraynrand]

The other players reportedly subject to suspension are Cincinnati's Adam "Pacman" Jones and three Arizona players: Clark Haggans, Brandon Underwood and Johnny Jolly.

I missed Jolly going to Arizona. I could have helped him load up the U haul.

Pretty sure that was just some sloppy punctuation. He hasn't been reinstated, so I'm pretty sure he can't be traded, released, etc. I don't think Arizona signed Underwood either. It's not in the 'former Packers around the league' thread, so it didn't happen!

[Joemailman]

Bengals will be pissed if Arizona beat them to Jolly.

[hoosier]

Busted yet again this weekend, this time for possession and "tampering with evidence" (knowing Jolly's drug preferences, that probably means drinking it). I suppose this means we can put the "When does Jolly get reinstated?" questions to bed for good. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/130967613.html

Makes me wonder if the Packers concern about Jolly weren't really about the kinds of people he was hanging out with, but with the kinds of drugs he was using.
