Johnny Jolly Suspended By NFL Indefinitely – 80 Points

Apparently Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly wasn’t making enough money at football, and somehow got tangled up in a major drug operation wherein he allegedly was involved in the “buying, selling, funding, transporting and aiding in the buying, selling, funding and transportation of illegal narcotics including cocaine and marijuana from 2006 through May of 2008.”

Am I alone in thinking that’s a strangely dangerous world for a professional football player to get involved in?  Was this part of some drug-kingpin-retirement-plan?  How do you play for the Green Bay Packers and transport cocaine on the side?  It’s kind of mind-blowing.

Regardless… the league isn’t waiting for the legal situation to unfold before making their move… and their move is about the strongest one they have in the arsenal:  an indefinite suspension.  He might be back next week (doubtful) and he might not be back until 2012 or something.  That’s kind of the definition of “indefinite.”

That’s worth 80 points though, to those of you who picked him.  I wonder… who’s transporting the cocaine and marijuana to the seedy underbelly of Green Bay, Wisconsin these days?
