[edit] Birth Place

Tank Johnson was born in Gary, Indiana where he spent his first six years; he then moved to Arizona with his parents. His grandparents and several relatives still reside in Gary. This article should be modified to reflect this.

ESPN says he was born in Chandler. Arizona. --ShadowJester07 05:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

ABC7 Chicago, and (other Chicago news outlets note this) interviewed his grandparents and relatives in Gary, Indiana on December 20, 2006.The player profile is incorrect, which is not unusual. See, http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=sports&id=4865746&ft=lg

Ah, good eye. Thanks for the correction --ShadowJester07 22:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Superbowl or No

Conflicting news reports on his ability to travel to the superbowl. There is this CNN article that says the situation has not yet been decided. Then there is this Chicago Tribune article which says he can go. I think we need more concise evidence before his status can be stated on this article. Also - I am tagging this article with a current event tag for now. --Mattarata 00:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Situation is resolved, but I will leave the current event tag for now. --Mattarata 21:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This information was removed, but it happened.

This information was removed from the Tank Johnson wiki. "On December 30, 2006, Tank Johnson contacted Gurnee Police Department to file harassment charges. ^[1] This news story is at best a footnote in many articles but deserves much more recognition. Local youths left a toilet seat with a harassing message on his doorstep. Local news said that "Police did not disclose what the message on the garbage can said" ^[2] However, other sources claim that "Nice Job Tank" was written on the seat. ^[3] In reality the words "GO TANK" was written lovingly with duct tape. This toilet seat was duct taped to a garbage can. This "hobo urinal", as it was called, was then urinated into. The news has yet to confirm these facts. " This actually happened and the sources do support all but the last two sentences. The information might have been deleted because the information was not the main focus of the article. If the entire article is read the information will be found. Thank you, Bfreak247 00:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I was looking at the wrong refs. I removed the last sentence since it sounds speculative. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  01:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
