General Chat / I fucking love Chad Johnson

CINCINNATI -- Chad Johnson is dreaming of a whitetail Christmas.
The Bengals receiver suggested Tuesday that he has a special touchdown celebration planned for Cincinnati's game on Christmas Eve, one that will top his Riverdance, his end zone putt and his sideline proposal from earlier this season.
A surrogate reindeer, perhaps?
"On the highway, I hit a deer," Johnson said Tuesday, insisting he was serious and that the animal wasn't hurt. "I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the celebration this weekend. He's a prop. They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it."
Even if Johnson is serious -- and, with him, there's no telling -- coach Marvin Lewis would certainly put his foot down. So Johnson's scheme may never get beyond the talking stage.
He wasn't joking about his desire to come up with a celebration that will keep fans talking long after the Bengals' last regular-season home game.
Fans in Detroit booed when he merely handed the ball to an official following his touchdown during a 41-17 victory Sunday that clinched the AFC North title. It was only the second time this season that he didn't celebrate a touchdown -- the other came when the officials needed time to decide if he had scored, spoiling the moment.
"But this Saturday, I'll be back to my old self," he said. "You can look forward to the celebration being part of something that has to do with Christmas. It's going to be fun. I might get in trouble, so I might as well let that out now. I might get in trouble for what I'm going to do, but it's worth it."
Johnson was excited by the thought of getting a deer into the end zone routine. His Riverdance brought him national attention as a hoofer. Now, he's fixated on hooves.
"This is going to be the greatest celebration of all time, man," he said. "I actually use an animal."

My boyfriend is from Cincinatti and has been a huge Bengals fan all of his life. He has been supportive of and irritated by them for several years, often remembering the "good ol' days" of winning seasons, play-offs, and superbowls. He has been on cloud nine for the past couple of seasons...finally being able to see a bright future for the "Bungles" thanks to Marvin Lewis and Carson Palmer. When we went to Disneyland last month we saw a guy wearing a Chad Johnson jersey and it brought tears to my bf's eyes. He is no longer ashamed to say he is a Bengals fan. WHO DEY! -

Shame I disagree, really.
I don't get the whole baseball celebrations thing, but I guess that's the effect of the Atlantic...
ooooh...The Bengals are a NFL team...so it's an American Football celebration...but I can understand the confusion. I guess to alot of Europeans it all seems pretty pointless, but it's moderately entertaining.
And thanks guys for having my back on Nitrous's "thats just fucking sick" issue. What's the point in turning a completely innocent topic about football into a bashing? I could have just referred to my boyfriend as my "special friend", but we've been together for 10 years, so that would just be wrong. Plus, I was assuming most people on here were aware of my sexuality, or wouldn't be suprised if they were unaware, or at the least would be mature enough not to start name calling when they found out. However, there always seems to be a couple of bible-beating retards that feel the need to express their meaningless opinions about issues that really don't effect them...unless, of course, Nitrous is a closet-case that insults others in order to draw the attention away from himself. In fact, he probably initially read this topic because he thought it was called "I Love Fucking Chad Johnson", and he thought it might be some good masturbating material.Edited by supertrooper, 23 December 2005 - 07:33 AM.

Ah ok I really should realise the difference between NFL and baseball. The only time they're on tv over here is at about 2am. So yeah, passes me by.
Back to the celebrations talk. -

You know he's an elite NFL receiver if he has to plan his endzone celebrations on a weekly basis. I love the NFL. -

Did you see last weeks celebration though? He didn't do anything...just shrugged his shoulders, mouthed "what do I do?" to one of his teammates, and then handed the ball to the referee. I don't know if he was just unprepared or had a mental block or what...or maybe the whole no celebration thing was the actual planned celebration. -

Association football has way crazier celebrations. All those guys, fucking, ripping off their shirts, and starting team crawls down the sideline, and dancing at midfield and all that shit. The cool thing is that you can't get carded for a celebration there, but in the NFL they'll flag you for an "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty or whatever. Yes, wouldn't want people to show actual joy and happiness at playing a game, would we!Ah ok I really should realise the difference between NFL and baseball.

People get disciplined for celebrations in football if they go outside the pitch, tamper with the corner flags, make gestures at the crowd...all that stuff. I think they get away with backflips or whatever though. -

yes, but american footballers have too much padding on and are much to fat to do backflips... which leads me to ask, what do you guys think is the craziest celebration for american football? or even soccer? probably T.O.'s autographing the football or his cell phone incident.
