Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

I think there are alot of people on here that are over-reacting on Tank's case.. Would u sign Ray Lewis to a vet min if he became available? Most of u would even though he killed 2 people. Stuff changes over time and I think he could a great value to our team in a reserve role

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

First off, Lewis wasn't convicted of anything.

Tank on the other hand is a thug, plain and simple. He's one F up away from a season long ban from the NFL and probably prison time.

Well neither was OJ...

This last incident in Arizona is petty. a speeding ticket and being "impaired to the slightest degree" they could say that if he admitted hed even been to a bar. Who gets into trouble with their job for getting a speeding ticket?!?! Granted, his previous charge for the guns does say something about him, at least he didnt use them on anybody. But dont we have the right to bare arms in this country? I know they should have been registered. But compared to Pacturd and Henry... this is not even in the same range of problems.

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

There's no comparing OJ to Lewis. They had barely any evidence against Lewis. OJ on the other hand...

C'mon, don't pull this right to bare arms crap in regard to Tank. His problems go much deeper than that.

[quote]In November 2005, Johnson was arrested at the Excalibur nightclub in Chicago's Cook County for possession of a handgun in his sport utility vehicle. Johnson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge and was sentenced to 18 months probation and 40 hours of community service. On February 12, 2006, Johnson, while still on probation, was charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest after allegedly verbally threatening a police officer. Johnson was leaving Level Nightclub on Chicago's Rush Street when the police officer was ticketing a limousine driver whom Johnson had hired. As Johnson allegedly put up a struggle, he was maced and subdued with the help of other police officers. The charges were eventually dropped.

On December 14, 2006, Lake County police officers searched Johnson's home in Gurnee, Illinois, and allegedly discovered that he possessed six firearms, including two assault rifles. Although Johnson was at football practice during the search, his bodyguard William Posey was arrested from his house for alleged possession of marijuana. Johnson was charged with violation to probation and possessing unlicensed weapons. Bears coach Lovie Smith deactivated Johnson for the following game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers based on this incident.

On December 16, 2006, Johnson's best friend and bodyguard William Posey was killed in a shooting at Ice Bar in Chicago's River North neighborhood. Posey was shot after he was allegedly involved in a fight around midnight. Posey was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:30am. Posey's assailant was not apprehended by the police. On December 28, Chicago Police apprehended Michael Selvie, Posey's alleged assailant. Selvie, a "reputed gang member" has been implicated in over 30 other crimes. However, Selvie's defense attorney claims that Selvie does not posses a firearm or any gang affiliations. If found guilty, Selvie will face charges of first degree murder.

On December 22, 2006, Cook County Circuit Judge John J. Moran, Jr. (Skokie courthouse, Second District, Cook County, Illinois) placed Johnson on home confinement, preventing him from driving by himself or leaving the state of Illinois. On February 8, 2007, Johnson entered a guilty plea in Cook County's Courthouse in Skokie for violating his probation. On March 15, 2007, Johnson was sentenced to a 120 days in prison (Cook County Jail) and fined $2,500 for violating his probation. On February 17, 2007, Johnson's lawyer contested a Lake County Circuit Court to drop Johnson's unlicensed weapons charges. His attorney claimed that since Johnson is a resident of Arizona, he does not have to abide to gun registration laws of Illinois. Johnson entered a plea of not guilty on 10 counts of possessing a weapon without the proper state-required ID. On December 30, 2006, Tank Johnson contacted Gurnee Police Department to file harassment charges. Local youths left a toilet seat with a harassing message on his doorstep. Local news reported that the police did not disclose what the message on the garbage can said Other sources claim that "Nice Job Tank" was written on the seat. The seat had been duct-taped to a garbage can filled with excrement.

On April 30, Johnson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor weapons charge as part of an arrangement with prosecutors that will keep him from serving additional jail time. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail, which will be served concurrently with a four-month sentence he's already serving in the Cook County Jail for violating his probation; to donate $2,500 to the Gurnee Police Department and $2,500 to the Gurnee Exchange Club's child abuse prevention program. While he was in jail, many of his teammates and coaches, including Brian Urlacher, Rex Grossman, and Lovie Smith visited Johnson. His release from jail on May 13 ended his legal problems from the December 2006 weapons incident. The league ultimately suspended Johnson for half of the regular season on June 4.. However, he will have the opportunity to reduce the sentence to six games if he complies with Commissioner Goodell's guidelines of behavior, which include going to counseling.

Petty or not when you're already on thin ice with the league and with the legal system it makes any offense a significant one. The guy just doesn't get it at all. I'm amazed that some people would want this guy. Would you want to work with a guy like this?

Well, actually, he pled guilty to obstruction of justice. It was clearly one of those situations where everybody knew he was involved but (in part due to his obstruction) the actual part he played was never really demonstrated. But for those who followed it, Lewis almost certainly didn't kill anyone but gave a lift to the killer or someone who participated in the fight w/ the killer and then helped that person dispose of/destroy his bloody clothes.

No doubt in my mind, given the facts that came out, Ray Lewis would have gotten a suspension had Goodell been Commissioner. Don't kid yourself - In the offseason, Lewis was every bit the thug, out all hours with his posse. He was, however, a workaholic during the season.

Don't forget Jamal Lewis who was convicted of conspiracy and served time. Again, I think he would get a suspension also.

It's a different world in the NFL for players. Unless they start penalizing teams, however, it's really not going to change.

By 'anything' I meant he wasn't convicted of murder. I wouldn't put Lewis in the same class of thug as Tank though. Yeah Lewis was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he seems to have cleaned up his act since then. Tank just doesn't seem to have the IQ to be able to turn his life around. He'll end up dead or in prison.

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

Let's not forget that Tank already served prison time. I wouldn't want him here because the fact that he won't change. He thinks that it is a game and he should be casted aside like a pile of rancid taco meat.

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

Im just showing both sides Matty, but when you get this much pub. over a speeding ticket... A SPEEDING TICKET!!!! its gone too far. which was the only citation he recieved if im not mistaken. Granted the man should have enough money to hire a whole fleet of cars and drivers, and not put himself in that position this close removed from his prison stay. As far as the guns go, I said it before it speaks volumes about his character, but the only thing that was ILLEGAL is that they werent registered. I just moved down to Texas and i was shocked at the amount of guns and ammo everyone has down here... it speaks volumes about their character... but since they are registered its not illegal... its just overboard in my opinion... but down here my opinion is the minority.

Well which is worse? Covering up a murder where two guys were beaten and stabbed to death in the street? Or getting busted with guns? Tank may not be a model citizen but he was not involved in a murder cover up. Ray Lewis may not have been convicted of murder, but he hid from the police who killed two people. We all know those were the facts.

If you ask me, what Ray Lewis did was WAY WORSE than what Tank did. But the difference is Ray got around some vets like Shannon Sharpe and Rod Woodson and he finally got it and cut his homeboys loose.

First, it was more than "wrong place, wrong time" Lewis clearly assisted someone who either participated in the murder or was present and knew the murderer. The extent of his knowledge was never proven - mainly b/c it was a mob scene and no credible witnesses could be found. BUT some bloody guy, with a bloody knife got in the backseat of Lewis's limo - w/ Lewis present in the backseat - and both the bloody clothes and the bloody knife disappeard.

Also, being in the wrong place, wrong time, is sorta the m.o. of all these guys. In some ways, Lewis got lucky in that his alleged offense was so heinous and there was a real chance he would go away for a long time. Because of that, I think he did some serious self examination and realized he had to hang with a different crowd.

I think Lewis basically got "scared straight". Being charged with murder may have that effect.

As for Tank, after reading the various reports, I think your right - he doesn't get it. Maybe he just to dumb, maybe he just a liar or maybe he is just to arrogant. Actually, if it's just meatheadedness, that can be cured, but I get the feeling this guy is more liar than anything else. The Chicago papers called him a "con artist". He twice came out and said - "Yes sir, I will follow the straight and narrow" only to go clubbing right after.

What the hell is rancid taco meat??

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

Just a follow-up. I think what Lewis did ORIGINALLY (i.e. covering-up a murder cause it involved your buddies) was much much worse than what Johnson did ORIGINALLY. BUT - Johnson's repeated infractions demonstrate a level of repeat stupidity that Lewis did not demonstrate.

Today's lesson: You can teach loser, but only if he is a really big loser and not just a lesser repetitive loser.

The speeding ticket alone isn't the issue. If his record was clean this would barely be a blip on the radar. But considering his significant legal history, it just confirms what we already know. The guy is a loser, a thug, and a waste of human flesh.

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

I just don't see any defending this guy. Cleary, he is what he is and he's not changing. I'm not trying to defend Lewis, but at the same time at least he learned his lesson and cleaned up.

I have no pity for repeat offenders who can't save themselves when they are given 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances. Again, kudos to the Bears for kicking him to the curb, but of course I'm sure they felt some heat from the commish.

I can agree with all of that minus the waste of human flesh part (a little to much IMO) But the guy is on his last leg, he has no room for error. i was just saying on the grand scheme of things hes not in the same leauge as a Pacman or Henry. He served his time, this is his last chance to clean up, there is no denying that, but this last little bit (the ticket) is getting way more pub than it should. He didnt start a fight or resist arrest, there were no guns or drugs, he was speeding. He has paid his debt to society by going to jail, hasnt been in any of the same kind of trouble since. So yes i wouldnt mind him to play for the skins as long as there is a strict personal conduct policy worked in his contract.

I really wouldn't mind if Tank and Pacman never see a NFL field again. I LOVE the fact the NFL is coming down hard on these guys.

There is a reason he is who, and what he is. He does not have the ability to turn it on and off. You get his performance on and off the field. You get his attutudes and opinons in the locker room as well. I want more attitudes like Randal El, not "tank"

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

Never having met the guy, I couldnt say either way. I 100% totally agree with what the commish is doing, and think it should have been done long ago. (Think about what it would have done to the Cowgirls dynasty). Pacman should never see the feild again, Henry shouldnt either. Tank is about an ass hair away from that, but not quite there yet. Hes paid his price by going to jail (was it his first trip to the clink? i have no clue) and now its up to him to clear his name like Ray. Wether or not he will remains to be seen. But at low risk, I still wouldnt mind the skins being the team to give him that last chance

I think the best point you have made against Tank Matty is that he doesn't get it, owning guns especially for a high profile athlete who makes a lot of money is no big deal IMO, I don't believe he used them in a harmful way at any time. Speeding? Come on we all do it. Who knows exactly what happened with the cop and the limo, I think they dropped the charges which tells me the cops may have been out of line as well. I don't believe the Bears cut him for that alone, that could happen to a lot of people under the right circumstances, I believe the Bears let him go because they see in this guy more trouble ahead, in other words his problems so far may not be that bad, but thier feeling is it's only a matter of time and cut bait with him, we don't need what may, or may not come along with this guy.

Further more, if no one picks him up that will send a very clear message to all players, if the commish comes down on you we are all going to back him up. If a couple of high profile players lose thier careers because of off the field problems you can bet the rest will start cleaning up thier acts!

First of all, who did Tank actually physically injure or harm? Two infractions does not make a douche bag in my opinion.

Secondly, we're the first ones bitching and moaning about our defensive line woes and how bad we need to draft or upgrade at the position. This guy could easily come off this eight game suspension and tear it up [I]and [/I]be a role model for some team. And if he did it for the Skins, we'd turn around and say how good our front office looks and how Joe Gibbs has reformed "Tank".

All I'm saying is, let's be careful that we don't apply a double standard just because this guy isn't a Redskin.

So tell me then, what did Tank do? I'm curious if he had one weapon as opposed to several would that change our perception of him?What does someone have to do in my book to be a douche bag? Well, I'm not sure now that I really think about it. But seeing that he never intentially or unintentionally, for that matter, harmed anyone I really can't come to any hard core conclusion about his douche bagness. I can maybe come to an opinion about his judgement, but certainly not him as a person. And it's not beyond reason that he could indeed become a role model. I don't see what's so far fetched about that? Would you consider Michael Jordan a role model? If so, why?But I'll say this...and I'll use myself for example...if you took the two most questionable things that I've personally done and aired it, repeatedly, on ESPN, CNN and local news outlets for the next 36 hours, I'm sure you would have a totally different opinion of me.

I'd love to see Gibbs sign Tank for last 8 games of next season with behavior clause and workout clause. He'd probably be really helpfull last half of the season if he didn't goto jail. I understand cleaning up the leauge and I understand the Bears cutting him. But I'm definitely not against the Redskins signing him now for minimum with clauses. If Gibbs can't work it out it usually isn't meant to be.

why would we want to waste a rosater spot on that pathetic bastard?

Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
 

Another thing to think about for Tank is that he very well may be out of shape after his 6-8 game suspension. Here are the highlights of the $665 dollars mostly spent of junk food while locked up for 60 days:

• 162 beef sticks
• 40 honey bun sweet rolls
• 35 summer sausage blocks
• 35 bags of barbecue chips

Not sure what a summer sausage block is but it sounds good.

But is spending a roster spot on a potential beast tackle for years to come for500k really that much of a risk, if he truns out to be D. Russell after his suspension is up we can just let him go.
