A week ago, I was hopeful that the Bears would be even more successful than they had been last season, have another great record, and make another run for the Super Bowl title. I was happy that Tank was out of jail, that the newbies on the team were doing fairly well, practice and training was going well, and everyone seemed optimistic.

What a difference a week makes.

Even though the tests haven’t come back, the fact that he was released from the Bears this week was a hard blow to take. I mean, WHO does 25 in a 25 zone?? It seemed to me that police were picking on poor Tank and that upon a (more than likely) negative DUI test, Tank will find NFL work elsewhere, leaving our beloved football team to find a DT as good as he is.

Everything else seems rather calm in the Bears camp now, but this was definitely the straw that broke the Bears’ back. And although I believe that Johnson did some pretty dumb things off the field, they are going to miss him where it counts.
