Our old Buddy Popeye and JJ hurt

I feel proud that I was one of the people not in favor of signing him because of his injury history. I really like the guy and hope he comes back here as a coach, but he has stayed healthy one year in the last six.

Here is the latest article and a blurb (at the bottom) on JJ's recent injury.

Coach Doug Collins frequently proclaimed his affinity for Jones, saying, "He's one of my favorite people. He was a big reason why we were able to win 18 more games than the year before. He was the ultimate pro. I miss Popeye because he's a really great guy to have on your team. He's a winner. He was the ultimate pro for us. He was great with Kwame. I wish he was still here."
