Tank Johnson Practicing with Bears

Finally making headlines for something football-related, much maligned Bears starting nose tackle, Tank Johnson, has returned to practice and conditioning work at the Bears facilities, according to espn.com.  Johnson has also released his first public statements since leaving jail, where he served half of his 120 day sentence before being released on good behavior.

In his statements, Johnson seems geniuinely reticient and ready to accept whatever ruling NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hands down. The way Johnson has conducted himself since his altercations may bode extremely well for his future in the NFL, as it has seemed that the players who have been suspended or come under the microscope have only offered half-hearted apologies for their actions at best.

Here’s hoping Tank Johnson has turned a corner in his life, as he is an extremely talented football player, and he has the absolute coolest name for a nose tackle ever.
