    Bears waive DT Tank Johnson

    This will be good fodder (and maybe good theater) for a Monday.

    If the Bills don't sign him, it is proof that Ralph is cheap and Marv does not care about the run defense.

    The Patriots will probably sign him. If they don't then it'll be the Fins or Raiders.

    I don't think that we'd see much of a contribution from him until at least halfway through the season.
    Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

    Re: Bears waive DT Tank Johnson

    IN all seriousness.

    in the ever growing "moral" NFL, I'd be very surprised if anybody signed this guy before next season.

    Its just incredible to me how some guys just refuse to learn their lesson. They dont have to be good citizens. THey can be total *******s if they want.. ALL THEY NEED to do, is stay out of ****ing trouble.

    Oh yeah, I forgot he was suspended for the first half of next year. I really think some team will still sign him though. But, I hope you're right.

    I don't care what the situation is; this is a stupid human being and does not deserve another shot in the NFL. Any team would be very foolish to sign him.

    We don't know that yet. They pulled him over for going 15 MPH over the speed limit at 3:30 in the morning. They took a blood test, but the results will take about 2 weeks before they come back. Who the hell takes blood test for a suspected DUI?

    I don't think Tank deserves as much negative criticism as he gets. All he ever did was own some guns that were unlicensed.

    So, it looks like Tank is the first one who may get kicked out of the league. Good! Hopefully the next thing I read is.....

    he did something else too- I don't remember what it was but the cops were at his house for something when they found the illegal guns. This is America- the cops don't just go door-to-door doing random gun checks.

    I agree in part, as i don't think that Tank's previous charges (prior to this DUI) were as reflective of a bad character as say Pacman's. His first arrest was for having a handgun in his car, and his second was for still owning guns even though he was on probation. Nonetheless, he did apparently break the law, so it's fair that he was suspended and put on a short leash by his team.

    If it turns out that he WAS drunk in this latest episode, he's a friggin idiot. I don't care if he was only a little bit drunk, and was driving safely. After getting a 8 game suspension, there's really no excuse for taking ANY chances whatsoever. Call a damn cab, you can afford it Tank.

    I'd put him in jail for 10 years if that's true.
