was Tank given a curfew or any rules about now using alcohol?

If he wasn't then he should be back on the Bears.

He didn't drink enough for a DUI. Basically he was driving at 3am poorly and was cut because of it.

Don't get me wrong, this guy is truly a sack of garbage... but he shouldn't have been cut, that was wrong.... and i suggested that this exact thing would happen in the other Tank Johnson thread. Whattaya know? i'm right again.

Does anyone agree with me that Tank should not have been cut for getting a traffic ticket?

seems a little extreme

Why should he be back on the Bears? They didn't cut him because he was (allegedly) drunk (now it turns out he wasn't). He was cut for fdisregarding the warning they gave him. When your boss at work tells you, "Listen, if you get into any trouble at all, any, we're firing you," and you decide that hiting the clubs until 3:30am is a good idea, you are setting yourself up to lose. Good for him not drunk driving, but tough luck on putting himself in a position to fail. How is it wrong to cut someone? It isn't illegal, and if he never got into trouble, and the Bears just decided to cut him, no one would think it was wrong.

Umm no.... he was cut for "driving drunk". Let's not play pretend here.
what was the traffic citation that Tank ended up getting?

I'm no Alfred Einstein, but i'm willing to bet that it doesn't warrant getting fired from your job.

But seriously, if they didn't tell him specificially to not drink alcohol, and they didn't give him a curfew, then he shouldn't be cut.

And if i was told by my boss to stay out of trouble and then i got a traffic ticket he would not fire me.


now if someone "fronts" and Tank "sprays" them with his "gats", now that's a different story.

He had an agreement with the team that he would remain out of trouble, if it had been a minor infraction the week before his suspension I might agree with you, but one shortly after being released from jail and suspended for 8 games? Nope, Chicago may be a Keegsed-up organization, but dumping Tank is one of the smarter moves they've made.

In Arizona, you can be charged with DUI even if your BAC is less than .08.

He was drinking and driving at three in the morning.Thats not staying out of trouble. The differnce between .07 and .08 is less than 1 beer or 1 hour.So please dont play the little game that just because was just under legally drunk that all of a sudden he sprouted a frickin halo and wings.You sound ignorant.Now if you will excuse me I am about to get a few or 5 beers in me and go driving as I see its three a.m.

Sounds as though they were looking for an excuse anyways, even though the DUI will not stick.. gotta ask why you are out driving around while drinking early in the AM? Time for the Bears to cut their losses, as this guy's need for excitement and skirting the law is greater then his need for the riches the NFL has to offer.

Gopats!!!

He was cut for not staying out of trouble.

The last straw was speeding.

Whether you believe he deserved it or not, it's up to the club to decide.

It's sort of like 3 strikes - it doesn't matter what the 3rd strike is, but you are still screwed!!!!

As for being .07 compared to .08 , they are both very low amounts. I would much rather be driving next to someone .08 than someone talking on a cell phone. .08 will get you in a WHOLE lot more trouble, that's the big difference! He was obeying the law as far as the drinking goes, but it was the speeding that got him.

Was he charged with a Dui?

"you sound ignorant"... hmmmmm the most direct indirect insult i've had on here in a while. you keep that up and you just might get noticed.

well they have to draw the line somewhere... that's how the dui rules work.
one beer isn't a dui.... 2 isn't...then the more you add the more it goes up. At some point, someone is going to be 1 drink away from being legally drunk. What a worthless point that was.

I called this guy a "sack of garbage", that obviously means i don't think he's an angel. he's clearly a scumbag.

But what laws did he break?
And what was the citation?

Drinking within the legal limits and driving a car at 3am isn't breaking the law or being a criminal.

Should someone lose their job because of a traffic citation?
