Close doesn't count except in Horse-shoes and handgranades.

It was close enough to get him arrested.

I hope I'm not being referred to as having some motive here. I can see the potential on field benefit to the Saints, but there is also an off-field negative that could affect the Saints more than just having a suspended player. What if the Saints sign him, he screws up again and the NFL docks the Saints a draft pick?

I'm not saying what happened in AZ alone should warrant cause for concern, but his history of problems including what went on in AZ is.

I've been arrested and had charges dropped before....Personally, I wasn't thinking of you as agenda driven. Which draft pick would he cost, should Tank be released?

...arrested but no charges, coming from grandmothers house. Big deal! In a couple of weeks teams will really start talking to him and see where he is. We should be one of the teams seriously checking him out.
