March 7, 200818 yr Is the bolded supposed to make it better or right that he was swinging at an assistant coach instead of the head coach. That's not what I was going for. I'm w/ you the Chad lovers are going to have a hard time w/ this one now that the "facts" are out. I think the biggest mistake was the cover up. If he sits Chad the second half and tells everyone why and says we're giving him one chance to realize his idiocy and he's just too competetive and immature but he may earn his way back he doesn't lose the team. It isn't a coincidence that the team has nose dived since then. I wonder why he doesn't think Marvin "has his back" when he's had his back since then. If Marvin didn't have his back they would be a much better organizzation.
March 7, 200818 yr So, the coach (Marvin) at that time comes out and says anyone talks about it and they are done with the Bengals and you want him to come out and talk about it and lose his job? Is that the route that you would have recommended for him to take. Star Brat does not need any fuel from anyone else. He provides plentry rocket fuel himself. I said in my other post that I didn't want him to do it at the time, but the way he went about it doesn't look too good to me... So in review, Chad says he is unappreciated and doesn't get fan support, so to prove him wrong and say how rediculous that is we go on message boards and call him "star brat." Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that prove his point...
March 7, 200818 yr Ask any of the Chadfans and this didn't happen. He is all about winning and wouldn't do this. He respects his coaches and is a great team player. Don't believe it? Just ask them, they will tell you. And vice versa for the haters...point is, no one knows for sure what happened.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that prove his point... I was calling him something along the lines of star brat LONG before he began to whine to the national media. Chad is very talented. Chad seems to have a great work ethic. Chad has a horrible attitude. Chad is very, very arrogant. That is my view of Chad Johnson. Great talent with attitude and arrogance issues. It seems that he feels people should love him simply because he is Chad. You give him the attitude of someone like a Marvin Harrison and I would be a huge fan.
March 7, 200818 yr And vice versa for the haters...point is, no one knows for sure what happened. That is dead wrong. People know what happened. Not everyone knows what happend, but there are for sure people who know.
March 7, 200818 yr Not only a great answer, but the right one in my opinion. Not sure if the Bengals would of went on to win the SB, but would of won that game..JMHO Just for the record, wasn't the Bengals winning this game till halftime when Chad the Brat Johnson took a swing at his coach and created a huge 1/2time disruption for his team? Awww, the what if game... :lol:
March 7, 200818 yr The season was over; did you want him suspended for the next season and that hanging over the teams' head (again ASSUMING he did take a swing)? Do the Bengals have to announce any in-house fines????? How do you know other players would have been gone???? I totally disagree; tempers flair in the heat of the battle (P. Manning vs. Saturday during Super Bowl season- America's Game) Teams don't get rid of players for that. Has that ever happened in the NFL???????? Again, you nor I don't know that "nothing" was done IF he indeed did take a swing. Because after the incident. Marvin said which ever player leaked this would not be apart of the team next year. So he gets rid of another player who isn't a star like Chad, instead of getting rid of the guy who actually did it. So yeah I feel pretty good in saying, that almost anyone else on the team would have been gone if they did that. I am actually a Chad fan actually. I just commenting on if they were going to get rid of him, that they should have done it after that. If you don't get rid of him after something like that, then I don't see why you get rid of him now. So as I said, I put the blame on Marvin more than anyone for the way the Bengals have gone down since that playoff game.

Again, you nor I don't know that "nothing" was done IF he indeed did take a swing. You are not seriously comparing someone potentially punching a COACH in the face, to the Saturday/Manning argument on the sidelines. That was NOTHING compared to someone being punched in the face.
March 8, 200818 yr And vice versa for the haters...point is, no one knows for sure what happened. I'm not a Chad hater or vice versa, and I think it happened. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
March 8, 200818 yr Saw a blurb that the Cardinals are going to have to trade Fitzgerald. Anyway to exchange WR's?
March 8, 200818 yr I wouldn't let Marvin Lewis coach a LL team.............the players would beat him up and take his candy....................
March 8, 200818 yr Saw a blurb that the Cardinals are going to have to trade Fitzgerald. Anyway to exchange WR's? His contract is ridiculous. I think I heard that the Cardinals ended up paying him something like 13 Million last year with incentives and everything.
March 8, 200818 yr Kimo Von Cheapshotten... Don't forget his buddy: Robert "The Decapitator" Geathers!
