Bears' Johnson sentenced to 120 days in jail - ESPN
Old news, yep, but consequences are fresh. 120 days in jail brings us to mid-July. Will Terry "Tank" Johnson be fat?
Tank's a big man. As far as I know, he'll eat the same food and have the same access to work out areas.
How will he adjust? Depending on his workouts at dietary habits, the rest may do him good. Many athletes at the top level have never rested. No matter how young he is, the reality is the same. Bodies get tired.
My thought: If Tank can do easy aerobic work, just to keep the weight down, and moderate weight work, the rest will be a good thing. As far as his legal issues, I have no idea, but, from what I have read, as they say, if you do the crime, you do the time.
I like Tank, I wish him well, and hope he comes out a better man. All I have seen in recent interviews says to me he knows who is, who he wants to be, and what it will take to get there.

Lovie Smith to Make $22 Million - details here
There you have it. Lovie stays on. New contract. Big bucks.
Contract keeps him through 2011, with $3.45 million this year (a raise from $1.45 million). $22 million over the next four years. Not a much maybe as a barely-graduated linebacker, but chump change it's not. Lovie's a good man, and I expect he'll be sharing more than a pittance for various charities and his church.
Some say, "It's about time." I say he earned it. Don't give a fellow more because the other guy more. What are those guys doing? Comparing size in the locker room? No way. Lovie took our boys to the Super Bowl. Didn't win, but, as Chicago sports go, making it to the party is a big deal, and a rare thing.
Good job Bears! Glad you don't do what the Cubs love to do, and instead, kept your best men.

Be afraid, Chicago, be very ... wait, you already are
Be afraid, Chicago, be very ... wait, you already are
CBS SportsLine.com - Jan 4, 2007
If you're Chicago or a Chicago fan, that's not comforting. Because the Bears need almost every variable to break the right way to keep this game close.
You can see where this is going. It is the Super Bowl, and no one, not Lovie Smith, not Brian Urlacher, not Mike Ditka, believe this is the 1985 Bears, or the 1972 Dolphins.
The Bears might win. They might lose. We'll see.
The game won't be a blowout. As of right now, I'm thinking 14-10. I am flip-flopping more than John Kerry in the 2004 Presidential Election. The Bears 14-10, The Colts 14-10? Who knows? I want the Bears to win, but I know doggone well the Colts earned the right to play in Miami.
You could take the article above, switch 'Bears' with 'Colts' and have about as much meaning. Has CBS seen the Bears' defense? If, say, the Bears hold the Colts down, our special teams will do them some serious damage. Robbie Gould? Sure. A win at 3-0 still means the Bears get to have a fancy-schmancy Vince Lombardi trophy, and the Colts get to lick their wounds.
The silliness of the Sportsline article isn't in the reality (I generally agree with it), but in the consideration of it as news. Here I am, an everyday Joe, blogging about it. I'm not CBS. I don't pretend to be CBS. On Sunday, I'll be watching CBS, but, for goodness sakes, I hope they have something a little more substantial than something I could have thought up myself.
How many more insignificant stories will hit the news before the game is over? I'm all for Super Bowl fever, enjoying the fun of something that will not result in war, disease or other calamities infecting the political arena. However, I'd like some real analysis put out by the company hosting the game on TV.
