Here's
a clip that's guaranteed to be shown on SportsCenter this evening. Tank
Johnson stared straight into ESPN's camera and delivered the following
line:
"Roger, please let him play. From Tank. Thanks, buddy."
Tank, of course, was referring to Sheriff Goodell's decision on whether to reinstate Pacman Jones.
Tank talked for several minutes about how he relates to Pacman's
predicament and hopes he can help him make the transition from
knucklehead to solid NFL citizen. Tank credited the Cowboys' support
group, headed by Jerry Jones and Calvin Hill, for helping him grow up
after his legal issues became too much for the Bears.
"The maturation process is slower for some," Tank said. "But once
you reach that point, it's kind of the point of no return. You don't
digress. You keep going forward."
Tank has seen signs that Pacman has reached that point. The Cowboys sure hope so.
One thug taking up for another thug, not sure how I feel about this.
