    This is ridiculous.

    Former Packer Johnny Jolly is going away for six years - Shutdown Corner - NFL*Blog - Yahoo! Sports

    Back in October, I wrote briefly about the abbreviated football career and ongoing criminal career of former Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly(notes). Now both have come to an end, but his career in the prison laundry is just beginning.

    Jolly was sentenced Thursday to six years in prison for violating his probation.

    It's a terribly sad story, but not one that's unfamiliar. Jolly could not shake the death grip of addiction. His vice was codeine, which got him into trouble with the law and the league. He told ESPN that when the NFL suspended him for one year, he lost control. He described codeine as his only friend because it kept him numb.

    Rather than rehash a lot of the previous conversation, let me ask you something related to the above:

    If drugs were legal, do you think the NFL should still maintain a drug policy for players? If so, as a "sunday commisioner" what would be on your list? If not...

    Cap, I really don't follow football or sports like that, so, I have no idea how many drugs or substances are banned for players by the NFL.

    I think steroids should be legal in life and sports. I'm not sure what I would ban actually.

    I don't think the NFL should maintain a drug policy now. What's a "sunday commissioner"?
