[CBFF] CT story on Tank (Re: Tank Johnson pulled over inArizona)

[Jim Ferolie]

Old habits die hard, man. Why can't he be out at 3:30 a.m.? I stay up til 
the middle of the night for no good reason all the time.

He likes hanging out at nightclubs, so what? So do lots of people. Cleaning 
up is one thing, changing every aspect of your life isn't a snap of the 
fingers.

To me, the big difference is whether this was drinking and driving or really 
drunken driving. If he's a .08, .10, hey, like you said, many of us have 
been there. Big fine, ignition interlock, community service, lesson learned. 
If it's a .18, .20, well, then we have ourselves a former Bear.

We'll find out soon enough.
