Well, isn't that convenient? After being cut by the Bears following his arrest for suspected DUI, Tank Johnson has signed on with a new team. And that new team just happens to be the Dallas Cowboys, who face the Bears this Sunday night.
Maybe it's truly coincidental, but the timing of Tank's signing sure does seem particularly beneficial for the Cowboys. As they head into their week of practice in preparation for this Sunday's game, they now have a recent insider from the opposition. And one who no doubt feels jilted after being cut for an incident that ultimately was a non-incident in the eyes of the law.
Was he brought in now so that he could spill his guts to coaches and players about the Bears' playbook and defensive schemes? After all, Tank's still weeks away from being allowed to actually step onto an NFL field. The punishment handed down by NFL Commish Roger Goddell following all of Tank's earlier legal troubles requires that he miss the first eight games of the season.
Other than the debriefing no doubt going on at Valley Ranch, we're happy to see Johnson get another chance. His two-year deal pays just a prorated amount of the league minimum this year, but includes a number of incentives that can increase his pay. Dallas took very little risk to see if Tank really has learned from his past, and Johnson gets a fresh start.
And perhaps Dallas is the best place for Tank to stay out of trouble. Aren't they pretty much required to own huge caches of guns down there?

I had the exact same thought about Tank's gun collection, Benjy.
I'm happy to see Tank get another chance after the Bears cut him basically for staying up late. And Dallas is the perfect fit ... Dallas media is probably far too worked up over Terrell Owens to worry about what Tank Johnson does with his free time.
The Cowboys are pure slime who will take anyone regardless of their status as a bonafide nut job. Tank Johnson and T.O. on the same team? I thought having Michael Irving alone was terrible, but wow.
While it lasted, this was one of my favorite blogs around. So awesome.
any body want to sign my petition to place a "Ban on wearing du rags outside the house" on the ballot for the next election?
For the first time ever, I can agree with spook on something.
I'm running for cyber office so I'm all about the "wedge issues" for "triangulation"
would that give you power over the blogosphere, spook? in that case, we are so screwed.
But Shannon, I have such high hopes for you as my “Ministress of Information”! Right after you attend my “People’s Reading Camp”! Some critics have proclaimed it little more than a reeducation camp, but hey what’s reading with out some education right?
Course now that I look back over this post, I see my “guest” cross over support base has been deleted!
What’s up with that?!
Opps my bad, I had my hide guest feature activated
