I think Henry's was a little worse than Jolly.

Maybe Emperor Goodell believes drinking 'Purple Drank" is a more serious offense????
Jolly isn't a compelling story like Vick. Who's Jolly?
It's just funny that someone can finance a cocaine trafficking ring or finance a dog fighting operation and be invited back into the NFL. A person who just liked getting fu _ _ _ _ up is not allowed back. It's not like I think Jolly is the greatest human being in the world, but he is not in the same league as Vick and Henry.
now that just pisses me off. why IS Jolly persona non grata? when baddell was in GB he said he wasn't even aware of Jolly's effort to be reinstated. a huge WTF?
If this is in reference to the League office non-action to his request to be reinstated and their giving guys like Burress, Vick, and now Henry another chance... it ain't gonna help his case.

Henry ought to be in jail for having 11 kids with 10 different women and owing mega-money in support. And I think trafficking is a far different offense than is just being caught with drank for yourself. It seems if you're a high-profile QB or RB, you'll get reinstated quickly. A grubber in the line? Not so much.

Play Jolly, or let him coach with pads on.
Jolly had/has a substance-abuse problem that got him into legal trouble.
I don't get what the hold up is on Goodell's end. Maybe he just hates the Packers.

The case isn't high profile or controversial enough for Goodell to put a lot of effort into. He's not going to get on camera for reinstating Jolly.

And he will get on camera if Jolly winds up charged with dealing. As I recall, Jolly was picked up with a very large amount of codeine but wasn't charged with intent to distribute. That sounds like a pretty "hands on" kind of trafficking, unlike just white-collar financing of crime. Maybe a big guy like Jolly was just intending to drink a whole trunk's worth of the stuff, but maybe not. Perhaps Goodell is thinking about that and is unable to relate to Jolly's situation. Or maybe none of the NFL teams have much interest in bringing Jolly back, and so Goodell thinks there's no harm in making an example of the guy. If the Packers or any other team really went to bat for Jolly I have to think that Goodell would think differently. I haven't heard a peep from an owner, a coach, or a team showing interest or support for Jolly.
Who is clamoring to get Henry back on the field?
Lots of baby mamas hoping he will continue to play the field.

He can't "wind up charged with dealing" at this point. The cases are long over with, and the convictions were straight possession.
Also, there was no "very large amount of codeine." At the beginning of the first case, they were weighing the whole drink (soda and all) and calling it all codeine, but that's not how the case went down. It was personal use.
The whole thing just doesn't seem fair. I guess I would just like to see him on the Packers again. He was playing very well before all of this and you never can have too many D lineman, as last year showed.
Coming soon: Our newest flavor, Purple Drank!!!!
How many years is Jolly removed from the NFL? 2? Whether he's reinstated or not, the odds aren't good that he'd be able to come in an contribute anyhow... or that TT would even be interested.
That aside, I do understand how folks could be upset with Goodell over the situation. While Jolly is a dumbass and pissed away his career after a few chances to clean himself up, what he did isn't nearly as bad at what Vick, Burress and Henry did IMO.

Because of the muscle fatigue of marijuana, it should be last on the list of drugs that can cause one to be stripped of a gold.
baddell is just so consistent. I can understand why the players don't ever argue with his suspensions...

quote:If an NFL player has to go to jail, it can’t work out much better than it worked out for Jets defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis.
Although Ellis was given a 45-day sentence in June for a misdemeanor assault and battery conviction, he was allowed to serve only half the sentence this summer and wait until next March to serve the other half, meaning he wouldn’t have to miss any of the Jets’ training camp or Organized Team Activities. And now Ellis has learned that he won’t be suspended by the NFL, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.
Ellis entered an Alford plea to the assault and battery charge, which means he is still proclaiming his innocence but admitting that the prosecution has enough evidence to convince a jury of his guilt. The charges stem from a fight at Hampton University in 2010.
After initially facing a felony charge that could have resulted in 20 years in prison plus deportation (Ellis is not a U.S. citizen), Ellis was able to work out a deal that won’t affect his NFL career at all. He is being sued by the victim in the case.
Agree. And how does Aaron Berry get arrested twice this off-season -- once with a gun -- and get a 3 game suspension, and Mike Neal gets 4 games for taking something his doctor prescribed that has now since been OK'ed by the NFL?
