One Stray Pea

So earlier today I decided that I was going to start posting blogs logging all of the good things that Chad Johnson does in a game. Why? Because the media (not just in Cincinnati, but national media as well) is dead set on making Chad the new NFL whiner. Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are both finally pacified this year, so there goes that NFL whining. The media tried to bait Matt Leinart, but then he got injured so there went that chance. There was some bickering in Buffalo as JP Losman watched his job slipping away but the media realized that no one cares about Buffalo. Not even Buffalo. So that left Chad Johnson. And the media attacked. And it was lame.

So began my log:

Chad Johnson makes a big catch up the middle

Chad Johnson throws a block for Kenny Watson to get an extra few steps. That’s right kids, throws a block. Because he can.

Chad Congratulates TJ on his touchdown – Not pouting about not getting the TD pass (as the media would have you believe). You know, being a team player.

Not Chad related but the Bengals just returned the kick off for a touchdown…Glenn Holt…the Bills had outstanding special teams by the way, Glenn Holt only ran passed two guys in blue. You know, he’s not even all that fast, I mean, he’d look like a puma next to me, but out there, he looks a little like Eli, only with braids.

Look, Chad Johnson is congratulating Glenn Holt on the sidelines. Again, team player.

Chad stays in bounds to make a great catch, then face plants into the ground. Then, like a champ, gets up.

Oh Chad, doesn’t make a catch, and now the announcers are tearing into him as if he’s done nothing but roll around in the middle of the field all game. I hate announcers. Now they’re psychoanalyzing Chad. Since when did sports announcer qualify these boobs as psychiatrists? Have I mentioned that I loathe announcers?

Oh, now it looks bad. Chad is down and people are praying. This doesn’t look good.

</end log>

So there you have it, my log. Now it looks like a sympathy vote but really, I’m going to be the media outlet that doesn’t pit Chad against the world. Does anyone else remember Corey Dillon? This town doesn’t need anymore of that kind of lameness.
