But based on his history that is in the press for the whole world to see and with all the young impressionable kids we have on the squad, IMO and that's all it is MO, I just don't see Tank (The) Johnson's character as fitting this teams new image and mentality. And you're also right about me not observing his family life style, or having his dogs evaluated for homicidal tendencies. But in all honesty, neither have you. And as for the question; Do I want him to fail? I really don't care either way, because if you're blessed with the talent and opportunity to play in the NFL and don't appreciate or give a dam to change some things necessary to stay in the NFL, than why should I care if he fails or not.

If I calm down any more, I will nod off. I was bored, so engaged you in what I predicted would be an unpleasant exchange. I do it for sport.

I mentioned Marvin Lewis being a positive mentor, yet his team imploded, because you brought up Lovie. What the hell did Lovie have to do with what Tank does in his spare time? A relationship between players is far more intimate. Perhaps Tank didn't have the same sort of mentors on the Bears' squad, that we obviously do here. That was my point.

Let's see, just off the top of my head here, but Brian Ulacher, Lance Briggs(at the time), Thomas Jones(at the time), Muhsin Muhammad, Reuben Brown, Olin Kreutz, Mike Brown, Desmond Clark, Rex Grossman(sucks as a QB, but a all around good guy), are a few names that came to mind as real good character guys and respectable mentor types. Remember, Coach Lovie Smith did the same thing Coach Payton did when he became the Bears coach. Smith got rid of the guys that didn't fit his "high character type guys" also, so please stop giving reasons and excuses for the way this guy is, he's not 12 ylds, he's a grown a@# man who need to get his mind right. Just not in a Saints uniform.
