All kinds of people make that mistake. You probably have too just haven't been caught.
I'd sign Tank next season. Perfect for a late season D-line boost. If things are going well he'll rotate in.

But I think the issue is Tank is under scrutiny, not only by Goodell but also the police (he is under probation isn't he) so there is no room for mistakes. And yet he made a mistake. Interesting comment by Andre Carter on Redskins.com yesterday talking about how the linemen appreciated Gibbs, Blache, and Williams showing faith in them and the importance of them (the lineman) being a group of "class guys" or something like that. Seemed to me like he was subtly saying "We don't want no problem child."
Honestly though, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Tank actually went back to the Bears. Provided he flys straight and narrow the next few months
DGreene, how are things?
