Money Makes Area Man Stupid-er

It appears that Tank Johnson has been relieved of his duties with the Chicago Bears. Tank was pulled over this weekend for a speeding incident and he refused to take a Breathalyzer test well bye, bye Tank.

You were told to stay clear of trouble - any kind of trouble or else you will get the most severe penalty possible. Your employer – the NFL suspended you and told you to lay back on the BS you were pulling. Your best friend was murdered this winter and within all of that you found it necessary to go home to Arizona and do whatever you were doing at 3 in the morning and get arrested for speeding.

There is a disturbing trend developing particularly in the NFL where young men with goo-gobs of money, act STUPID. Michael Vick, Pac-Man Jones, most of the roster of the Cincinnati Bengals all of them – kick them out of the league…but wait a second.

If you kick these Neanderthals out of the league, whatever will they do? I would rather the NFL take care of them than have them loose in society. Harsh talk – yes harsh because it is beyond my mental capacity, you have been given a chance to keep your high paying job despite the fact you just spent time in Cook County Jail. You were given chance, after chance, after bleeding chance and you allow yourself to get in trouble – again?

This from the Chicago Tribune - Coach Lovie Smith was quoted on the site (chicagobears.com) saying, "A lot of people within our organization gave extra time and energy to support Tank: players, coaches and our front office.

"We did our best to establish an environment for him to move forward. Ultimately, Tank needed to live up to his side of the deal."

Well just how much did the Bears do? I wonder if they offered Tank counseling? Maybe therapy? Perhaps a chance to keep a closer eye on him, make him stay in Illinois? The money, time and potential PR disaster that this creates for the Bears is horrid and timed horribly.

They are as guilty as Tank is and they may be just as stupid for not launching his dumb ass after his buddy was murdered. Well I'll save the equally dumb ass Bears the trouble -

Bye, bye Tank, don’t look back.
