Title: Jimmy Johns, "A Story To Tell"
Post by: rueben on July 31, 2011, 10:42:16 AM
Wow, what an awesome read!!!!

"A man's character is determined by what he does when other people aren't watching," Johns told Mississippi's best high school football players. "What I was doing when people weren't looking was wrong. It's nobody's fault but my own.

Just read the story. Good for him. Glad to know he has turned his life around.

What a great story. It really would appear that JJ has turned his life around. He could make a living getting colleges to pay him to address incoming freshmen. Good for him!

This is good news, I don't know how he kept from getting killed when he was at Bama, he lived in a very bad section of Alberta City.

Wow, I noticed that, too. He's probably 25 and looks at least late 30's or 40. I hope he can stay on the straight and narow and not relapse. Great story.

Thanks for posting rueben. Great read! That was a great thing Crozier did by giving Jimmy a chance.
