I lost all the research I did when the old board shut down. But if you look at all the games Chad played against winning teams he had a ton of big games.
the "only" games I concern myself with were of pissburgh!

Probably kept challenging everyone to a race and finally lost a few.

Chad quit ?
No way.

On Saturday night, Johnson tweeted: “These are the best 14 hour work days ever!”
Sounds like harsh reality paid Chad a visit....

Woke up too early, checked the board, saw this.

Telling the coach (boss) this before leaving would be the right way to approach such things.
The last paragraph speaks my opinion, but the story as a whole fits in perfectly with Ocho's story.

Can not wait to hear him "run it" before the Bengals vs. Browns match up.
Should be epic.

Look at his numbers before '07.
'04...1274 yds
'05...1432
'06...1369
'07...1440
But during the '07 season things go bad and Paul Daugherty writes a story blaming Chad. Some fans also turn against Chad. Chad gets upset that Marvin is not more supportive. He changes his name to Ochocinco" and goes all over the national media trying to cry his way out of Cincinnati. He later admits that he did not lift at any time during that offseason.
Now look at the career of "OchoCinco"
'08... 540 yds
'09...1047
'10... 831
'11... 276
Chad Johnson was a hell of a wide receiver. Chad Ochocinco, not so much. I have to admit that I was hoping he would have a career resurgence, sort of like Randy Moss, in New England. And then he cost himself a couple years in Miami. Hopefully he has some money left.

“There were some things he needed to do. I told him go do what you need to do. He has some kids and he has some other things that he needs to take care of. I wanted to make sure he had an opportunity to do that,” Jackson said.

He did tell him.

I made a joke and regret nothing.
Anyway... Chad loves me.

Chad Ochocinco most likely has CTE and i'm not even joking.

What makes his story seem odd was he seemed to always be trying to sell a brand of himself to an audience that wasn't really buying. As a WR he could catch the ball and make the moves, but the diva aspect of him got real old real fast.
I get it. Some people eat that stuff up and that's ok I guess. For me it was annoying. I never missed him once he was gone and glad they didn't try to resurect him in stripes. I got so annoyed once I made a comment that got me banned from the old board. I wrote some things that I shouldn't have..
Anyway..don't miss the freak show.
