Tank to meet with commish next week.

right after getting out of jail, he's meeting in NY with commish. Bears expect up to 8 game suspension. Some think the entire year, but his were all misdomeanors. Not felony crimes.

I will be absolutely irate if he gets suspended for a full season.

He didn't hurt anyone. Yes, he violated his probation and it was stupid for him to have all those guns & ammo at his house. But that does not warrant a year long suspension.

Leonard Little killed a woman while driving drunk.. And has gotten DUI's since and didn't spend a day in jail and was never suspended from the league..

If the NFL is so concerned about fixing there image, maybe they should start with that scum bag in St.Louis.

Why does a 300 pound man need a gun anyways. I would be freakin scared of him even if he doesn't have any weapons.

Back on track, I hope he gets suspended for at least 6 maybe 8.
The whole season is a little harsh.
Maybe the commish is a Bear fan :D

I guess he just wanted to live up to his name =O


No matter how many games he gets suspended for..let' just hope Tommie is healthy and Dusty does his best Mark Anderson impersanation(< I spelled it wrong and I know it).

We talked with Tommie this morning and he's doing pretty well. He's heading down this afternoon to Brett Favre's golf outing in Mississippi (Bernard and Devin are going as well).

Dusty is anxious to prove himself. Dusty and Mark are doing a public signing at Gurnee Mills on June 2.

Anything more then 6 games is totally excessive. The guy lost one of his friends because of his actions and he's served jail time. I think he's sufficiently paid his debt to society and to himself.

What kind of Bears fan would call the cops on a player during the playoff run? Probably a Packers fan considering he lives close to the Wisconsin border.

w/e, Goodell will probably give him something long.

Johnson released early for good behavior
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2868990
CHICAGO -- Authorities said Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson was released early Sunday morning from the Cook County Jail.

The 25-year-old Johnson was released on good behavior after serving 60 days of a 120-day sentence for violating parole in a 2005 weapons case.

He left the jail just after 7 a.m.

Johnson is scheduled to have a hearing about his off-field problems with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday.

I am sure Goodell has so much going on with the Vick thing he doesn't have time for Tank.

I think It's a good thing that it's taking a while for his decision.

Tank must have impressed him.

With Pac-Man it was only like 2-3 days.

I was wondering as well, maybe he's waiting for the league players ass. thing with pac man before oversuspending anyone else. With pac-man not being conficted of any crimes as of yet, I don't see how "legally" they can suspend him for the season. They can't, and the league will get in big doo-doo on this one.
