Tank in a fish tank
Tank Johnson is here to play for the Bears through the kindness of an Illinois judge who lifted his house arrest so he could go to work at the Super Bowl. He was surrounded by a few dozen reporters for most of the hour interview session and he answered questions about his legal troubles and the shooting death of his friend/bodyguard, but mostly talked about how misunderstood he is. It was hard to get a grip on his attitude. He was a little bit contrite and a little bit defiant. He was a little bit remorseful and a little bit critical of media and "people who are out to get you." He said house arrest "is tough, your everyday life is taken away, you have to ask permission to do anything." On the other hand, he said he was able to spend "so much more time with my little girls and my family." What a concept.
