Eight Games; No Tanks

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell continued the league's crackdown on unsavory extracurriculars with an 8-game suspension of Tank Johnson, who was recently jailed for violating probation on gun charges and whose bodyguard was killed in a club shooting in December.  Johnson hopes to pare the suspension to six games with good behavior.

The 300-pound defensive tackle had made headlines by consuming $700 worth of junk food, including roughly 160 beef sticks and 40 honey buns, during his 60 days in jail.  An 8-game suspension would cost Johnson $255,000.
