Read all about Tank's rap sheet

Those who want the nitty-gritty on Tank Johnson's criminal history should click this link. It's an ESPN.com story written before the Super Bowl, and the rap sheet is detailed about halfway through.

One of the lowlights is Tank telling a cop who was arresting him, "You ain't the only one with a Glock. If it wasn't for your gun and your badge, I'd kick your [rear]."

Since that story was written, Tank served a 120-day jail sentence (he was released early) for probation violation, resulting from the raid on his house late last season. And he was arrested in Arizona for suspicion of drunk driving at 3:30 one morning, which was when the Bears finally had enough and cut him. Those charges were dropped when blood tests showed he was slightly under the legal limit.

Calvin Hill's job just got a lot tougher.

Don't know how dumb Tank Johnson is but he better believe/understand this might be his last chance to live the good life that the NFL represents. Screw up with us and no one will ever try signing you again.

BTW: Read somewhere that he or his agent have been trying to stir Cowboy interest in signing Johnson but initially weren't getting anywhere. Wonder if his agent ever approached any other team and why not the Cards? Maybe Tank was a Cowboy fan at some point and that might allow us to exercise more control then other teams. Also since he from Arizona, he's a lot closer to home and Texas is a lot friendlier place for him then Ill probably every was.

Sure hope we can re-sign Nate Jones though.

also since he's getting paid the league minimum not having to pay state tax is sweet!

Bad move, IMHO...Last thing I had hoped to see was a return to the days of accepting felon behavior
