Reply #22: He was guilty of poor judgement and for dragging the Bears into

[HuskerDU]

the police blotter one too many times. I don't know his entire criminal history, but it is LONG. He was suspended from the team and put on the first team 'probation' from gun charges in the middle of last season. At that point, Tank pleaded with the Bears to give him another chance (remember the gun charges is like strike 10 since becoming a bear). Well the Bears stick by him and Tank claimed to be a changed and new man. Two nights later Tank was involved in a fight at a nightclub and his best friend was murdered. Well so much for the changed man.

Finally the Bears told him straight up, you jaywalk and you are gone. Done deal.

Maybe the cops shouldn't have pulled him over, I don't know. But I do know that if Tank wanted to be a Bear, he should have been at home with his family at 3 am, and he should not be 'intoxicated to the slightest degree' while driving. I feel sorry for myself and my fellow Bears fan for losing this talented player, but I don't feel sorry for Tank in the slightest. The guy screwed up WAAAAAY too many times.
