Josh Noel, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears DL Tank Johnson spent part of the weekend in Cook County Jail after police allegedly found a loaded handgun in his truck. He was arrested Saturday, June 11, after a valet reported seeing Johnson move a handgun from his lap to the center console of his GMC Yukon.

Mike Doss was suspended By the NFL for 2 games this year. Was it for his gun toting display? I didn't catch the whole story. Anybody know?

Wags....do you realize that if it was you or me that pulled that stunt we'd be lookin at prison time right now? I am sick and tierd of these pro jocks getting their bottoms spanked for something that would get anybody else serious jail time.

Isaw the Charles Barkley interview were he said that the NBA had an identity problem because they were black.

I think these guys have an identity problem because the are morons be they black or white.

Exactly jomo, we'd be fighting off Bubba while we were guests of the state.

I just don't understand these guys. They work their whole lives to get the the pro level and then they do stupid crap like this. Un-freaking-believable

Uh oh Plax.

Colts: Harper waives right to initial hearing
The News
Colts cornerback Nick Harper, arrested earlier this month on domestic battery charges, waived his right to an initial hearing, scheduled for Wednesday. Harper was arrested June 4 after a disturbance at his home which authorities say resulted in Harper hitting his wife and causing an abrasion near her eye.
Our View
The court will set a date for Harper's next appearance, though if he enters a guilty plea he won't have to appear in court until sentencing. The current charges Harper faces are a Class A misdemeanor and could result in as much as one year in jail.

Update on Taylor, prison time? He was charged June 24 by state prosecuters, he faces a single count of aggravated assault with a firearm.
Gun charges filed against Redskins' Taylor

NFL.com wire reports

MIAMI (June 24, 2005) -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor would face a minimum prison sentence of three years if convicted on charges of pointing a gun during a dispute about an all-terrain vehicle.

A trial date was set for Sept. 12, the day after the Redskins open their season.

State prosecutors filed charges June 24 against the 22-year-old former University of Miami star. He faces a single count of aggravated assault with a firearm, said Michael Greico, assistant state attorney.

Taylor allegedly was among a group of people who got into a June 1 armed confrontation over a vehicle the player and his associates believed had been stolen. Another man in the group, 19-year-old Charles Caughman, also faces aggravated assault charges. He is accused of threatening and chasing someone with a baseball bat.

Taylor, the No. 5 overall draft pick by the Redskins in 2004, did not appear in court and has filed a written plea of not guilty.

His attorney, Edward Carhart, said his client hoped to avoid charges after meeting with prosecutors voluntarily and presenting polygraph test results the lawyer said clear Taylor of wrongdoing. Polygraph results usually are not admissible in court.

Greico said the charges involve three victims. He would not comment on the substance of the case but said Taylor faces a maximum prison term of 16 years.

Taylor signed a seven-year, $18 million deal with the Redskins after he was drafted. The team has excused him from further offseason practices and meetings so he can concentrate on his case.

Taylor was charged with drunken driving in October after attending a birthday party for receiver Rod Gardner. Those charges were dismissed, but Taylor was convicted for refusing to take a blood-alcohol test. The conviction was later dismissed.

Taylor also has fired two agents, was fined for skipping one day of the NFL's mandatory rookie symposium and was accused of spitting on a player during a game at Cincinnati.

I hope this doesnt turn out to be another case where a jock gets off light because hes a celebrity. Any of us would be facing jail time and its a shame that hes probably goin to get off with a slap on the wrist.

Almost sounds like Saban started to lose it when he was being questioned by the press.

Shame on the city of Detroit for robbing Smith! But it does beg the question...

How many of us are walking around in Detroit at night with $4K of cash while we're waring $100K of jewelry?

Who in their right mind walks around ANYWHERE with 4K in cash and wearing 100K in jewelry??? That's just asking for it IMO

What an idiot! It is an unfortunate incident, but why would you walk around ANY city, much less Detroit, at nighttime with that much money and flashy jewelry on! I would feel bad for him if I wasn't laughing so hard

$100k in jewelry sounds like a nice number to give to the insurance company........
