I'l bet that Mike Neal is our starting end at some point this season

There has to be more to this than we know. There obviously is a huge difference between a 4 game suspension and indefinite.

Didn't Ricky Williams get a 4 games suspension after failing 3 drug tests?
Pacman Jones got a whole year and then another 4 game suspension after that.

I wonder if he will try the Williams Brothers (Minnesota) ploy to delay enforcement of the suspension.

I bet a failed drug test triggered a suspension, minimum 4 or 8 games. then goodell just said screw it, I'm gonna drop the hammer on you right now for all this other crap while I'm at it.

Jolly at the very least seems to be hanging around with a very shitty crowd. odds are if his friends are around the crap and sell it, then he has his hands in it as well

His failing a drug test with all these other accusations over his head is just the straw that breaks the camels back. and just plain stupid.

Nah, my take is that NFL Security has been following him around and looking into his ass. They know what the real scoop is and this suspension probably results from a confab with Jolly, his agent and lawyers. They know what's going on and are probably being easy on him, making a deal.
But still, I really don't know. It's all supposition at this point.

Woah i didnt see any of this coming

Stupid. Mother. Fucker.

Damn he looked good last year.

Get your feces centrally located, young man...we need and want you.

I'm glad it is settled, punishment-wise.

Fool deserves it.

I don't have any real solid reasons for feeling like I do, but I sense a karmic reversal on Justin, PLUS Ted proving me 100% wrong on drafting the FNG so early.

I dig Ted for his smarts when I am so greedy, btw.- with "my" needs for this team.

Fuckin' Jolly and his purple drank... idiot.

I'm a little more concerned about the possible 20 years in prison he's facing on drug charges. Hope he straightens his life out before he worries about football.

According to what I read, he is suspended without pay any way.

I think it's the first time you fail it you miss four games... unless you have a Minnesota Judge in your pocket, like the Williams Wall does.



I agree he needs a wake up call and I don't have a real issue with suspending Jolly... but I'm just wondering from the legal side of this where this come from...

If he failed a drug test then it should be 4 games... not 16... and why haven't the Williams Wall been given their 4 game suspension yet?

There has too be more detail that haven't been released. Personally I think this solves a lot of problems for the Packers as they don't have to think about cutting Jolly, they don't have as much of a distraction and they can just focus on the guys in camp. Also don't have to pay him nor use a roster spot on him....


BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THIS STORY THAN WHAT IS BEING TOLD RIGHT NOW. If Jolly failed one test he should miss four games... the 16 game one I believe is for if you have 3 failed test. Or maybe it was two but it wasn't one.


I got a feeling that there might of been an arrangement between the NFL, the Packers and Jolly. Because this isn't normal for the NFL to do... but all sides win in this case. The NFL gets to look like their getting tough on drugs. The Packers get rid of the distraction for a year and get a roster spot with out having to cut Jolly. Jolly is getting to keep his contract which no chance he would of had one that good if the Packers cut him and he gets to try to earn it next year when he might have all the legal stuff behind in.

If Jolly didn't agree to this in someway you can bet that he and the Players Union are going to appeal and probably win. Or the NFL has some inside info on Jolly probably from the court case.

And Commissioner Goodell was just in GB. But I'm willing to bet their is more to this story. I hope it gets told someday.

I don't see why this decision is being embraced.

Whenever I see Jolly play, he makes a key deflection. He has a nose for that, you can't teach that, and I see nobody else on our defensive line that does that.

Losing Jolly means we lost much needed depth. Gloat on Neal and Wilson all you want, but we don't know what they offer.
