Does anybody else see something wrong with this? Does Pacman Jones see something wrong with this?Tank Johnson, the former Bears and current Cowboys DT has had issues with the law in his past. He was arrested in 2005 for having aconcealed gun in his car outside a Chicago nightclub. Okay, that’s a minor infraction because the only states that is a crime in is Illinois and Wisconsin. However, a couple months later, he was arrested again oncharges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest.Things hit rock bottom for Tank when his house was raided by police officers, who discovered hepossessed enough firearms andassault rifles to start a war. Then a few weeks later, Tank’s personal bodyguard was shot and killed outside a club because of an incidentallegedly involving Tank.These and a couple more incidents led to Tank being suspended from the league and released by the Chicago Bears. He was suspended for the first eight games of last year and then reinstated byCommissioner Roger Goodell.Now since he is an expert in getting suspended, possesing narcotics, carrying illegal firearms, being involved in shootings, and being arrested, he feels he is the perfect spokesman for Pacman Jones’ reinstatement.Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he is not only speaking out for Jones as a fellow player but as a currentteammate.
Jerry Jones feels the best way to get talent is to take chances on criminals. Yes, they are incredible athletes and can help you win games, but they are a cancer to your team.Jerry Jones has gone so far to prevent these two from hanging out and keeping Pacman away from thestrip clubs that he has hired around the clock personal security for the defensive back.In conclusion, if I were in Pacman Jones’ shoes, the last person in the world I would want speaking on my behalf is Tank Johnson. This is like Bill Clinton attesting to formerGovernor Eliot Spitzer’s character.Roger Goodell should see the effect these two will have on each other and the fact that the only way Pacman can stay out of trouble is if Jerry Jones buys his protection.. For those of you looking to search for us on Bleacher Report, the author name is The Roundtable. Hopefully you’ll keep checking us out.Big night last night for my Celtics. Sure, no NBA game should last 3.5 hours, but if it has to, you might as well win Let’s see them wrap it up in Detroit.
Lots of news and notes, so let’s get to it.Joba Chamberlain’s next relief appearance could be his last. The Yankees put Ian Kennedy on the DL with a strained muscle in his ribcage and it looks like Joba will take his spot. Good news if you already own him and good news if you can go out and grab him on waivers. Chamberlain is likely already owned in most deep leagues, and that shouldn’t change.
He should be added in any mixed league with at least 12 teams, and is worth a flyer for guys hanging on to borderline starters (Mark Buehrle, Brad Penny) Kennedy could be in trouble. This injury is always tough for pitchers because of the force they put on their midsections. If Chamberlain is successful in the rotation, expect Kennedy’s next stop to be AAA. Jake Westbrook returned from the DL and was largely effective. He gave up three runs in five innings, but his location and velocity were good It’s always hard for your first start off the DL. Give him one more, then get him back into your lineup on a regular basis The Roundtable giveth and the Roundtable taketh away Some good calls and bad calls yesterday. If you started Armando Galarraga, Andy Pettite, JoJo Reyes, or Matt Garza, then things worked out pretty well for you.
Reyes, despite not getting the win, looked very good and only gave up one run over seven while striking out nine Pettite continued his domination over the Orioles He basically owns them, and is a must start against them. The fact that Garza is owned in so few leagues is just sad at this point. In deep leagues, he’s a must own, and I’d take a chance on him in some 10-team leagues as well. He’s pitching better than most people realize, and his strikeout and WHIP numbers don’t show signs of that changing My bad if you listened and started Wandy Rodriguez. I didn’t follow my own rule of waiting a start when guys come off the DL. Important note: Glen Perkins will have his start flipped with Boof Bonser’s over the weekend.
