Although it pains me to say it, The Bears made the right decision by cutting him; I just wish he wouldn’t have put himself in that predicament.
July 27th is slowly approaching, and once training camp hits my attention officially shifts from baseball to football (and unfortunately the Sox are making that transition a little too easy this year). But it’s never good to hear about any of your players getting involved in any off season BS, and losing Tank will hurt, but we are a deep squad so I’m not that upset. Plus, we have Anderson, Brown and Harris still here, so they will anchor the NFC’s best defense once again this year.
But I still don’t get why you’d throw away all that money and a job you love? Granted, I am no one to judge anybody, especially a professional athlete whose daily life differs a tad bit from my own, but I can’t help but scratch my chin and think, “YOU’RE RICH AS BALLS!!! PAY SOME DUMBASS A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS OR SOMETHING TO DRIVE YOU AROUND WHEN YOUR MUFFED UP!!!” I mean c’mon, if you’re already on watch why would you risk everything? I know he’ll be picked up by someone else, but it’s not the point; the point is to have respect for your team and yourself, for now he is unemployed and if he does re-enter the league he’ll be under a friggin’ microscope the rest of his career, and he’s only in his mid-20’s. But it doesn’t matter now, Da Bears will have a glorious season without him, and as far as Tank is concerned I will have my long time friend Hawk Harrelson send him out with a, “HE GONE!!!” Powered by AkoComment 2.0! |
