20/20 Interviewed Guerdwich Montimere, the 22-Year-Old Who Created a New Identity to Play High School Basketball Again
Just over two years ago, we learned the story of Jerry Joseph, a high school basketball player at the Friday Night Lights’ school, who was actually a 22-year-old man named Guerdwich Montimere. ABC’s 20/20 interviewed Monimere, who is currently serving time for two counts of sexual assault of a child and three counts of tampering with government records. To Guerdwich’s credit, he’s sticking with his story.
My only problem with the 20/20 piece is that they say he re-lived the plot of 17 Again. In 17 Again, Matthew Perry meets a mystical janitor and actually does become 17 again – as portrayed by Zac Efron. Well, Guerdwich Montimere – or Jerry Joseph – is no Zac Efron. Guerdwich just forged some documents. He did not win his estranged wife back and help his son make the basketball team – he just went to prison.

I’m also willing to bet that there was little or no sexual assault of a child in that movie. Unless we’re talking about the director’s cut.

Funnier NFL story today:
1) Pats claiming TE after Giants waived him in a procedural move, or
2) NFL asking Pacman to give “the talk” to rookie class?

better than Antonio Cromartie and Travis Henry giving “the talk”
although, i’d love to hear their thoughts on the issue

Travis would be a great speaker. So long as there’s no women there to impregnate.
