Chad Johnson Threw a Punch at Lewis

http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

hope it aint true.

this guy could be the biggest star in the league if he played his cards right. hopefully he has the right people around him .

he didn't get enough balls thrown to him...fucked up my prop Chad Johnson Over 86 yards in completions!

wow........

These so called pro athletes of today do not understand that there is no "I"
in TEAM. SO MANY of these athletes need some kind of direction from their
so called peers such as coaches, teammates, and most of all parents. Chad
has so much natural talent and it seems he is wasting his future endeavors.
It is truly amazing how these spoiled children waste their futures.

I'm glad that this is coming from profootballtalk, they usually hit their rumors about 20% of the time, they come up with so many bogus trades in the offseason that its unreal. I would also doubt that Marvin would have let Chad play in the 2nd half if this is true.

I dont know, Chad getting Hue in a headlock and then throwing a punch at Marvin, sounds far fetched.

Several members of the team pointing to this as the catalyst? I guess we will have to wait to see the quotes, but I'd have to say the catalyst was our inferior defense and Kitna being forced in.

Stunts like that during halftimes of playoff games will put you on the street pretty damn quick.

They have a lead in a tight game & he's throwing a fit & starting fights during halftime? Huh???? WTF?????

F'in Idiot

I agree with this post 100%. Chad Johnson has many people who do not like him, and I am sure more of these anti-Johnson rumors will keep coming.

If this happened and he got to play in teh second 1/2 I would lose all respect from Marvin Lewis. People are benched for way smaller things such coming late or missing part of a practice. This has to be made up.

I seriously doubt this is true and heres why: Had there been a shred of truth to this, it would've leaked out to the mainstream media. It would've been on every sportscast in the country and in every newspaper. Theres no way they could keep the lid on something like that and I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere else. Chad Johnson is not Terrell Owens.

If thats true he should have been THROWN off the team

Its true

Chad is DUMB!

Notes: Chad's offseason starts fast

A heck of a start to the ’05 offseaon for No. 85. But Chad Johnson isn’t down as you think he’d be.

The man he calls Captain Kirk, Carson Palmer as the commander of the Bengals’ starship offense, has assured him he’ll be in Los Angeles throwing balls to him in early July. And, he denied he fought coaches and teammates at half time of Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh: “Then that must means I’m also dating Halle Berry and starring in a Steven Spielberg movie.”

Bengaldm got jolted into the offseason Tuesday morning when profootballtalk.com reported that Johnson went on a half-time tirade that included physical confrontations with head coach Marvin Lewis and receivers coach Hue Jackson. Johnson denied the reports Tuesday afternoon.

“I don’t know where it came from or who said it or what,” Johnson said. “All I know is I was going into the training room (for an IV), and we were just trying to figure out what we were going to do (in the second half).

Johnson said he’s fine with Lewis and Jackson, and that he spent time with Lewis Tuesday before the coach had to go into a personnel meeting.

“C’mon,” Johnson said. “Has there ever been a problem there?”

Defensive tackle John Thornton said Tuesday that his post-game comments about not being a complete team had nothing to do with Johnson because he wasn’t with the offense.

“I don’t know if anything happened because we’ve only got seven minutes at the half,” Thornton said. “I’m at the other end of the room with the defense.”

Thornton admitted he was emotional after the elimination loss, and was speaking generally about his team and how it didn’t respond to Palmer’s injury.

“We can’t be selfish,” Thornton said. “I don’t have a problem with any player on our team. We just have to learn to deal with some things when they go bad.

“I don’t know what happened, or if anything did,” Thornton said. “Chad is an emotional player. He just wants to make plays. I’m sure if anything happened it’s nothing that the team couldn’t have got over.”

Johnson spent more time Tuesday talking about Palmer’s fight back from reconstructive knee surgery, which could be as soon as Tuesday. Johnson says he’ll come back as good as ever.

“There is no problem. He’s too talented,” Johnson said. “He’s not a scrambling quarterback. If it was Michael Vick it would be a problem because he wins with his legs. Carson wins with his arm and there’s nothing wrong with his arm.”

Johnson and wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh like to participate in a receiving camp that one of his old college coach’s runs during the first couple of weeks in July. That would be six month after surgery, and Palmer should be able to throw by then.

But Johnson isn’t concerned about losing timing with Palmer because he can’t be in the spring camps. He thinks they only have to work to time up two routes: The slant and skinny post. The post is run deep down the middle. P> “He doesn’t look at me at all. He just throws to a spot,” Johnson said. “He has to stare directly down the field to hold the safety. Usually it’s just a catch and you get hit. Once the ball comes out, he’s driving on you. It’s a big chunk. It’s at least 20 yards every time.”

Johnson, the first Bengal to lead the AFC in receiving yards three times, plans to leave Cincinnati later this week and he’s thinking about stopping in to watch Sunday’s Steelers-Colts game in Indianapolis. He’ll head to his third straight Pro Bowl for the Feb. 12 AFC-NFC game in Honolulu.

“I still think,” he said, “the best is yet to come. The next five, six seven years. It’s going to be better than it was this year.”


Some are saying that Johnson and Jackson argued but that Lewis wasnt involved, who knows?

I'm not buying into the rumor, despite Johnson's volatility, for the simple reason that Marvin Lewis is a no-nonsense type of coach. There's NO WAY he'd let CJ play in the 2nd half if he did that. No chance.

ESPN would have a hold of it by now if this were true. Anybody hear anything about it from a better media source?

yeah judging by CJ's TD's dances marvin lewis runs a tight ship.

Don't tell me chad Johnson is another T.O. from the Eagles, guy is one of the best recievers in football and acting like a little kid.

Johnson snapped at a reporter today that had asked him about what coverages Pitt was running. Something along th elines of "You saw the game, you were there, dont ask me about that bull shit". Trying times really reveal the true character of a person. You see Chad's true colors and Marvin Lewis hasn't exacty handled the loss well either.
