da bears speak up...............

Bears | Test results didn't influence decision on T. Johnson
Thu, 5 Jul 2007 11:42:46 -0700

Larry Mayer, of ChicagoBears.com, reports Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said the results of the blood test to see if unrestricted free-agent DT Tank Johnson (Bears) was driving under the influence had no impact on their decision to release Johnson. "We weren't basing it off the police report because we made the decision prior to that. We had a zero-tolerance policy and he crossed the line. That line was very clear to everybody and it was made very clear to him. We made it very clear to him that he had no room for error. It's unfortunate, but we did the right thing for our football team," Angelo said.

This reminds me of the good ole AB threads. Well in my opinion I don't care if we get him or not. From the looks of it Payton will not put up with any BS so he'd be on a short leash. If we pass on him for character issues I'm fine with that too. By the time he's able to play after 8 games, our D-unit will have gelled and should be working together nicely. Unless injuries are abundant there wouldn't be a need for him and why throw him in 8 games into the season?

Be careful what you wish for! LOL

P.S. Maybe while we're at it we can bring Billy back too?

Billy who? Is that the dude who loved that one QB who is related to that one QB who likes to fight dogs or something like that. Saying his name is bad luck. Is he a practice squad QB for the Rams now?

Saints08 could show up at anytime? tick, tock, tick, tock.............

Where in the hell you at 8?

Frankly, I don't care but someone else might, and we all know who that is. LOL

For what it's worth I would welcome BC back. He kept it interesting. Same with 08, Whodat, whowatches, saintfan, tweeky (the big troublemaker) and more from BlackandBlue, Lumm0x, Lkelly and many more.

Yeah, that Tweeky, while extremely witty, bright, knowledable, and devilishly handsome and sexxxxy, was trouble, no question.
