Sucks to be you, Jimmy

He was Mr. Football in the state of Mississippi when the coaches came calling for him and Mike Shula pulled off an upset and recruited Jimmy Johns to Alabama. Now he'll go to prison for many years instead of going pro because he's a coke dealer. He even did a deal in the shadow of Bryant-Denny Stadium. That's enough to make even an Auburn fan cry blasphemy.

I don't get it. You're given free college, free food, free place to stay. You have access to an education that can take you anywhere you want to go, and you have a chance for a very lucrative career in the NFL. All you have to do is go to class, fulfill your obligation to the team and stay out of trouble. That's it. How many would give their proverbial left nut for that sort of deal? Four years, sometimes five, with very little responsibility and the world just waiting to open up for you. Now you're off the team, headed to prison and all that prospect is down the toilet. Way to go, dumbass. I have no sympathy.
