SOMETIMES, THE DECISIONS WE MAKE...

Tyrone and Tank Carter grew up in a rough section of Pompano Beach, and are very close. Tyrone is an talented football player, becoming a safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Of course, when the Steelers made the Super Bowl, brother Tank was present in Detroit for their victory over the Seattle Seahawks to take the Vince Lombardi Trophy. After the game ended, the Carter brothers partied down with rapper Snoop Dogg until the early morning hours.

Problem is, Tank Carter was supposed to be reporting to the Broward County Jail for a six month stretch resulting from a conviction for driving with a revoked drivers' license.

Because he didn't show up on time, the judge hearing the case turned the six month sentence into five years. And Tank Carter says...he doesn't regret his decision, being quoted in an AP story picked up by SI.com as saying "Even knowing what I know now, I would do it again. It was the greatest game in my life."

I wonder how he'll be feeling after a few months or a year in the pokey.
