Chad Johnson was one of the reasons i ever even liked football. Look most little kids dont really like football, at least watching it. I saw Chad Johnson out there dancing and thought that was the coolest thing ever. That is what made me not only like the bengals, but got me involved in watching football. What was Chad going to do next?

Could you imagine how boring the 2000's without chad? The short answer is no. He was the only excitement we really had.

He is still to this day the only reciever to lead the AFC back-to-back-back years (3x) in yards. Imagine doing that, and never coming close to a playoff victory.

And there lines the problem with some of us that  appreciated his talent but also saw his attitude get in the way of his talent... he became a sideshow.. the disrespect of the HOF jacket.. that turned  a lot of people and players off.. it became too much about him and less about the team.
