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.

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.
