Chicago Bears' Tank Johnson Cut From Team

The Chicago Bears have decided to part ways with Tank Johnson. This morning he was cut from the team following another recent off-field incident. This past Friday in Arizona, Johnson was pulled over for speeding and then cited for "being impaired to the slightest degree." This past March, he served 120 days in jail for violating probation from a gun charge in 2005. Now, Johnson was already suspended for the first eight games of this upcoming regular season and possibly reduced to six if particular conditions were, but after this situation, it seemed unlikely. Thus, Johnson was cut.

Personally, I am not exactly a happy camper right now. First of all, after being released from jail for good behavior, Johnson stated that he was wrong and his experience in jail made him want to change. Second, he was a big backbone to our growing team and the eight (potentially six) game suspension was already going to hurt us. Why would he even RISK it??? To my dismay, it looks like we are one man short before summer camp even begins. If we don't get our act together, we may not be back at the Super Bowl. In the meantime, goodbye Tank. Time to think about what you really want in life.
