Terry "Tank" Johnson, defensive lineman, got sentenced to 120 days in prison today with a $2,500 fine for violating his 2005 probation. Tank was quoted with saying, "In retrospect, I should not have guns in my home."
Yes, Tank you should not have guns in your house...that are loaded and are easily accesible by your children. You don't need to a college education to understand that kids play with anything that is in front of them. Who fell off the moran tree hit, hit every branch on the way down, the tree fell on top of him, and had a branch imbeded into his skull?
I also enjoy how Jerry Angelo (the GM of the Chicago Bears) wanted to fire Tank faster than Lance Briggs wants to get off the Bears when he found out what Tank did. A day later with some conferencing with current players and Lovie, he decided that they were just going to suspend him. Mostly so Tank could play in the Super Bowl. What is the best is that Tank had no positive effect on the Super Bowl and the Bears got their asses handed to them.
So way to go Angelo, Lovie, Ted Phillips, and all other 'higher ups' and taking the high road....

they weren't easily accessible. if they were, they would have arrested him on the spot for child endangerment.
According to Police Chief Robert Jones, "There were loaded weapons, and some were accesible." Also, the weapons were found in several rooms and there one was one loaded rifle in 'plain view'. That sounds easily accesible to me but maybe my definition is off.
Don't forget that celebraties seem to avoid any harsh punish for their actions. In this case, Tank is recieving punishment for his actions. I would think that this is far away from harsh because he could be out of jail in 60 days. Usually an gun charges (3 handguns and 3 rifles) and a violation of probation is a year in jail. I could be off because I don't know law very well.
I hope Tank will change his life after this whole ordeal, not even necessarily the jail time but his lifetime friend, William Posey, died in Tanks arms. I would think that seeing his friend die before his own eyes is life-changing
Who gives a rat's ass if they were accessible to children, the dude had a full arsenal of illegal weapons in his house. He shouldn't have been able to leave the state, period. I wish some public officers would nut-up and do what is right instead of trying to win votes all of the time.
