anyone know what that sideline chat was about and what the MNF crew was talking ? i had them on mute all game...

Mainefan

They weren't sure what was going on, but theorized that CJ was bragging to BB about the excellent catch he'd just made. Anyhow, it's pretty clear that BB and CJ have more than just respect for each other--they like each other. It was nice to see.

Sporin

BB used the Jedi Mind trick on him, making him run the wrong route and letting the Asante INT happen... brilliant stuff.

Metaphors

I guessing here, so take this with a grain of salt...

It looked like Chad went over to the Pats sidelines just like he thought it was the Cincy sidelines (kidding around obviously). Belichick looked like he said "What the f*@k are you doing?" with a smirk on his face (obviously a little amused at the antics). Kind of like the Lambeau Leap he tried...only without the beer.

It is clear that Belichick and Johnson have a mutual admiration thing going on. I can't imagine another player getting a pass from him when goofing around during a game like that. That is completely opposite of Belichick's perceived nature...so it is also clear that people don't know jack about BB. Just the way he likes it...

It's become very clear that BB and Chad really like each other. Johnson should have never signed an extention with the Bengals!


Maybe he should demand a trade this offseason and come team up with Moss

Chad Johnson...Randy Moss 2.0 for the pats

Nordy

The only problem is he's going to turn 30 soon and I think he has at the least 3 or 4 years left on his contract. The Bengals would be stupid to trade him.

Ahriman

For those that don't know, BB and Chad got to know each other a few years back doing some offseason charity work together and have been big fans of each other ever since. BB really respects Chad's work ethic and talents on the field. I think Chad also wishes he were playing for BB; someone that dedicates even more of himself to the game than Chad does.

IMO that shot of the two of them was priceless!!!!

BB continues to build his rep with the guys that count, the players, despite the media's attempts to tear him down. Don't get me wrong, I don't think BB has done himself any favors in the past with his somewhat unapproachable demeanor, but it's tough to be the captain of the ship in this NFL business, and yet BB's fairness with his players and focus on the betterment of his team have won him much respect by the players that matter in this league. It reminds me of AD's comments after the pro bowl when he talked of his surprise at BB's sense of humor. That pro bowl coaching gig was the best thing to happen to BB outside of a little more silver in the trophy case.

I agree completely, I bet LT and many of the other AFC ProBowl players walked away wondering what it would be like to play for him.
