Ocho Cinco is Going Loco!
Chad Johnson….. what more do you need to say. Tremendous talent on the field and a tremendous nightmare off of it…..Incase you are not aware Chad Johnson is demanding a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals.
He wants out because……well he doesn’t know why he wants out of Cincinnati, but he wants out. His interview a few weeks ago on ESPN was crazy enough and I saw his agent Drew Rosenhaus to day on NFL Live saying he cannot say why Chad wants to be traded that is between him and the Bengals organization. I honestly see another T.O. in the making with this guy. He is all about himself and has this dire need for attention from the media and fans. Just look at his TD celebrations. I think he works more on those then he does studying film and practicing during the week.
You can make the argument it is not affecting his play on the field so who cares….. OK…… point made but think how good he would be if he just focused on playing football instead of devising these celebrations, crossing off CB’s on his list when he had the better game than them and showing the media, coming up with new hair styles like a blonde mohawk…. I admit some of it is very entertaining and good TV but it’s taking away from the main reason he is there… to play football….
See a lot of these guys mainly WR’s like Chad and T.O. only care about one thing… THEMSELVES.. They whine and cry about not winning but they would take their stats of 8 catches for a 100 yards and 2 TD’s in a game that they loss than getting 2 catches for 32 yards and 0TD’s and a win. That is why I do not buy into the fact that it’s about winning. It is never about winning with guys like this… Chad has probably the 3rd best QB in my opinion in the NFL in Carson Palmer throwing to him. Only Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are better. He also has a great counterpart at WR in T.J. Houshmandzadeh to take coverage away from him. Chances are if he does get traded he’s going to go to a place where he does not have a good QB and another good WR to take pressure off of him hence making it harder for him to get the ball, meaning he will be disgruntled there as well.
I mean the poor Bengals, they had a great season a few years ago made the playoffs and then palmer got hurt in the beginning of the playoff game against the Steelers. I believe if he does not get hurt they win that game. Then all the off the field incidents pick up. Arrest after arrest of Bengals players. They should just change their uniforms to all orange like prison inmates. I feel bad for Palmer mainly because he’s a good guy and is wasting prime years away at this asylum. I do not think Marvin Lewis is cut out to be a head coach there. He seems to lenient and nice (like dungy) but doesn’t command the respect Dungy receives from his players. Recently released Chris Henry was a big problem and should have been released awhile ago with all the arrests he has received. I feel sorry for all of you Bengal fans because what looked to be a really bright future just a few years ago now looks be headed toward the old “Bungal” days…
