Jolly’s Folly

I’ll never understand these guys who have the world at their feet and choose to throw it away. 

The National Football League suspended defensive end Johnny Jolly on Friday, indefinitely and without pay, for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

The suspension will last at least through the 2010 season. Jolly is eligible to apply for reinstatement after Super Bowl XLV.

Ted Thompson, the team’s general manager, issued a statement:

“Johnny is a good player that loves everything about the game of football. We appreciate the contributions he has made to the Packers the past four seasons. His focus and priorities now lie elsewhere – our thoughts are with him during this difficult personal time.”
