I think it's safe to say who WON'T be winning the man of the year

After getting pulled over by police in Arizona just three days ago, the Chicago Bears have released defensive tackle, Tank Johnson. Johnson who had been released from jail after spending two months in prison for gun charges that were filed after police raided his home and found a plethora(ha now I feel smart for saying "plethora") of guns. Two days after the raid, Johnson's bodyguard and close friend was shot and killed at a night club that the two men had attended.

"We are upset and embarrassed by Tank's actions last week," general manager Jerry Angelo said in a statement. "He compromised the credibility of our organization. We made it clear to him that he had no room for error. Our goal was to help someone through a difficult period in his life, but the effort needs to come from both sides. It didn't, and we have decided to move on."

Johnson had already been suspended for the first eight games of the season after having a meeting with the NFL's new commissioner, Roger Goodell. Johnson told Goodell that he wouldn't have anymore run ins with the police and he had intentions on winning the NFL's Man of the Year which goes to the player that shows excellent behavior on and off the field. I think it's pretty safe to say good ole Tank won't be taking that award home anytime soon.

Nets and Bulls fall to 0-2

Yeah, so far the second round is not being too kind to my teams, as they have both fallen behind to 0-2. The Chicago Bulls are currently getting a colonic with a rusty hook every other night from Detroit Pistons and for the Nets, well to say that they are getting dominated on the boards would be a severe understatement.

I have figured out, with my superior math skills(adding and subtraction, it's a bitch) I have found that the Nets have been out rebounded by the Cavaliers overall, 100-69 and on the offensive side of the ball, Cavs are also destroying the Nets on the offensive boards, 39-12. Obviously something must change and soon. I feel that we will play better now that we're going back home and hopefully we can tie this bitch up, SON!

There isn't much to say about the Bulls and Pistons series. This one has every inkling that it's going to be a four game sweep. The Bulls haven't shown anything, at least to me, that leads me to believe that they can somehow salvage this. Chicago is a very young team and they were very impressive in their four-game sweep of the reigning NBA Champions but they are very inexperienced, talented, but inexperienced and if the Pistons and Spurs have shown to everyone over the past few years, it's experience and defense(it's cliche, but it's true) wins Championships.

Chris Leak is offically an NFL quarterback

According to ESPN's Michael Smith, the Chicago Bears and former Florida quarterback, Chris Leak have agreed to a free-agent contract.

Chris Leak led his Florida Gator's to a National Championship in 2007 against the Ohio State Buckeyes and Heisman winner, Troy Smith. And unlike Smith, Leak was not selected in this weekend's NFL Draft. The details of the contract are not known at this point, but i'm sure it will be revealed sometime tomorrow.

In his 4-year career at Florida, Leak played in 51 games, he threw for 11,213 yards, 88 touchdowns and 42 interceptions. One of the biggest reasons everyone passed on Leak in the draft was his height, Leak stands at only 5'11", but is a solid athlete who can make stuff happen with his feet and throws well on the run and he is a hard worker and is very competitive. Like I said, the downfalls on Leak is his size and his arm strength is just average and never really developed into the player that he was projected to be coming out of high school. He will likely go into training camp competing for the Bears third string quarterback position.

UPDATE:

Here's the link to the Bears signing free-agent Chris Leak to a contract.

"We were happy that he is with a Super Bowl team like the Bears," his father, Curtis Leak, told the Charlotte Observer on Monday. "It's a good situation for him. That's all that matters to us. I feel great about it."

Brian Urlacher loves him some 420!!!

Lemme first start off by saying i'm not done posting about the tragic events at Virginia Tech. But I do think it is an appropriate time to start posting about my usual topics, you know jokes about poop(aka the Mets and Hurricanes), my incompetence in the bedroom and my all around sucking at life, oh yeah and sports.

I was just catching up on a few sites and found this video on Break.com. It's of a couple of friends contributing to 420 by showing off a sweet trick called the "Frosty Mug". You basically shotgun smoke from a certain "illegal" drug into a glass that has been in a freezer. I, of course have never touched that mary juwana stuff, cause you know, i'm an upstanding citizen(riiiiight) and shit like that. So anyways heres a video with a guy who looks a lot like Brian Urlacher and from the pics of him over at Deadspin, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a relation between the two.

Note: "420" is National Weed Day, the 20th of April, get it, 420. Oh nevermind.

Redskins deal safety, Adam Archuleta to the Bears

According to ESPN's, John Clayton, the Washington Redskins have agreed to deal safety, Adam Archuleta to the Chicago Bears for a 2007 6th round draft pick. Chicago is a great fit for Archleta primarily because of head coach Lovie Smith, who has coveted Archuleta ever since he took over as the Bears head coach in January 2004.

Lovie Smith was Archuleta's defensive coordinator while in St.Louis and the two have always had a good relationship. The Bears hope that the versatile safety can return to form and be as productive as he once was.
