The chad johnson arrest made it on this hard knocks? wow

it's on now where they drop him

1.) I didn't move any goalposts, as you know. I responded to your post, nothing more.

2.) I read the Plano article. It runs completely counter to your 2% claim and doesn't jive with your cite, at all. You know that too.

3.) As to the cherrypicking argument, I responded to your links with counter links. That's how it's done. Yet again, you know that.

Bottom line: This is about Johnson and his arrest, not the percentage of false rape claims. So you went off topic and got the info wrong. Just drop it is all I'm saying.

This is classic DI. Telling others what they know, insisting you're the ultimate authority on what right is even when you're obviously wrong and then suggesting they drop it... And with that I will only because your periodic pissing matches add nothing and ultimately grate on everyone.

While the conversation between Philbin and Johnson was what everyone came to see, the far more interesting insight came earlier in the show when it was revealed that Johnson was having a hard time picking up the Dolphins’ offense, just like he did last year in New England.
At one point, Dolphins great Bob Griese, watching film with Philbin in his office, asks the coach if all the receivers can play all the positions. Answered Philbin: “Well, most of them. Chad hasn’t been a lot inside. You know, the big knock on him when he came here was he couldn’t pick up the system.”
Later, the three quarterbacks are shown in the film room shaking their heads at Johnson for not knowing where to be. Said David Garrard: “I’m going to have to talk to Chad. He does so much stuff that I don’t know if he’s not getting the plays, or if he’s trying to give me a head’s up on something.”

Yeah, shocking.......:bricks:

I'm sad to see CJ get cut like this.....both because of the domestic issue and the "unable to pick up the routes" issue .....I see nothing to be happy or "LOL" about...He always seemed to me to be a "good guy" but a little off center who liked to have fun....I for one refuse to revel in his misfortune......deserved or not....and wish him nothing but the best in the future.

He was great with the Bengals for a good period of time.....what happned?

That was raw and tough to watch. He really looked spooked when he realized the camera's were running. A live by the sword die by the sword moment. I hope he actually has some kind of functional support system beyond TO and Randy. Guys like him but he never seemed to have any real friends beyond those two, just 3.6M acquaintances who got a kick out of him. Bianca must be struggling as she and Evelyn had become girl friends. Sad for his kids, the oldest of whom is very active on social media so likely exposed to all of this. Hope he's also invested wisely for their future sakes.

For years the debate swirled on whether Chad was just cool and funny and all his antics were harmless. In the end I think that myth has been debunked. It's a team game. In Cincy his athleticism and natural ability intrigued to the point they began to accommodate it and him. Over time it slowly corroded most of what was assembled around it. Others (and a cohesive disciplined offense) didn't develop as a result of having to learn to cater to and accommodate Chad's vision of an offense. He put up numbers and they even won randomly but there was no consistency. Yet everyone seemed trapped in a revolving door to nowhere, either via contract or out of sheer fear of the alternative until it got so obvious they all had to go or the HC and FO would have to.

The difference between what Gronk (for example) does and what Chad did is Gronk's antics end at the door of the stadium. Chad reportedly worked hard (physically) but he also brought his incessant act into the building. He always claimed he was just keeping things light (or real), and while some lightness is necessary attention to detail and focus are too because it's a serious production business for every guy on the field and football careers and livlihoods are on the line.

Aside from creating an unfortunate void here there was little or no damage he could do because Belichick and Brady have set and maintained a tone for a decade now. So that is the conundrum for Chad going forward. He's not good enough any more if he ever was for a veteran team to accommodate and he's incapable of providing veteran leadership to a young team looking to build a foundation because he just can't help himself - he is what he is. A thoroughly self absorbed, aging class clown who can't even get seperation let alone grasp the nuances of any structured offense.

Rosenhaus will work OT to get him something, just don't think he will find any takers after what Philbin and even Garrard's very public observations underscored. Fast as **** in shorts and shells is a dime a dozen in this league and it seldom translates once the pads go on let alone at the end of the road for a guy who got by largely on above average athleticism for a decade. He'll be more distracted than ever for a time as he deals with a myriad of legal issues and grapples with the loss of his primary stage and he may yet find himself facing "Dad" and possible suspension time.

Duh! In all the confusion I forgot if I fired 5 shots or 6. I'd forgotten about a possible suspension. Soon to be ex-wife looks like she's going fwd with the charges. Risk of missing a game or 3 makes 85 even less marketable to another team.

'Hard Knocks,' Episode Two Recap: Reality of NFL news showcased by HBO - CBSSports.com

Ochocinco being let go by the Dolphins on camera is over the top, I think. That should have been a private conversation between the two men and not one where there was at least a camera man and maybe more production crew in the room.

Sad.

 

[TruthSeeker]

I was intrigued by the wife's comment which was something like, "I bet you're thinking about how beautiful I am." Take a moment to ponder that and you can see why any relationship with her is on a fast track to nowhere...

It does feel awkward that CJ's humiliation would be shared with all of America, but that's what the Dolphins signed up for. I know, their players didn't sign up for it per say (which is a valid point).

Chad is...and probably always will be a little boy living in a man's body,He is not capable of avoiding headlines...whether they are good or bad..

It looked like that camera was perched on top of a book shelf and guided by a crew outside the room (the zoom in's and out's) to me.

 

[FirstAndGoal]

People should watch what they say or Chad Johnson will come back to haunt the Patriots just like many claimed Chad Jackson would do.... I still can't believe how devastating that blow was to us. (lol)

Sad.

People get fired in far more awkward ways every day. I have no problem with the way Philbin handled this. He did his best to sit Chad down and lay it all out... "it's just not a good fit." There's no easy way to do it. I've been in meetings where employees have been let go before, and this is pretty much how it always goes down.

I take it that you have never watched "Hard Knocks" before. Players have gotten released many times on that show, and I don't ever remember hearing a word or complain about it then.

So because this is a well known public figure who is known for acting like a clown and a jackass, it is all of a sudden "sad and wrong?" Why because Chad has some loony fans that like his ability to beg for attention?? Well attention is what he craves, so he got more attention by the show airing this scene. All of a sudden NOW, it's unfair because it isn't him talking about a new name change or his yearning to ride a bull or some other stunt??

Get the **** out of here. Chad assaulted someone and a woman for the 2nd time. He also has assaulted Marvin Lewis in the middle of a playoff game at halftime. The only sad thing is how so many of you guys stick up for this guy as if he is some innocent person that got shafted or something. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? It seems like all a guy has to do is act like some Hip Hop star now days or crazy party animal on MTV/VH1, and people in this country support clowns like that instead of our soldiers or great role models around the league like Wes Welker or Andre Johnson. That's sad.

Was on the news the other week ... most common reason for divorce now was cheating that begins on social media. He had to have some easy prey there and perhaps he could not resist.

 

[BananaRepublican]

Why take on responsibility when you can just lean on being PC? Go PC and win. Winning is what it's all about.

They should have dashed for the ****ter and slammed the door. "OK, listen up, you're gone, got it? OK, break on three."

 

[BananaRepublican]

Next they'll roll out slomo footage of the head butt, up close and personal thanks to a sharp telephoto lens.

People would watch it. That's all that matters now.
