This guy is finally getting a lesson in humility, just like Neon Deon did. He is maturing and becoming more like able, unlike that piece of garbage, Lawrence Taylor, who cheated the whole time he played and keeps getting arrested now.

It would be quite fitting for Chad to have the Tyree moment. I do feel for the guy, he did lose a parent.

Moss didn’t need to learn a playbook. He runs three routes that matter: streak, slant and fade. I bet if he laced up and ran 40 against everyone in the NFL, he’s still top 5 type speed.

Continue to make fun of TO all the time though. “How am I supposed to feed my family off $7 million”, was it for me.

I like Chad but,”I don’tcontrol my production”, is a really, really stupid statement. Must be talking with TO and Moss a little bit too much.

Judging by comments on here, you wouldn’t guess that Chad Johnson was:

26th all-time in receptions and yards

20th all time in receiving yards per game

People talk like he was a bum. This bum led the AFC in receiving 4 years in a row (04-07).

That’s a record folks. Chad is the only one that’s ever done that, and he did it competing with Marvin Harrison. Chad Johnson was a special player. Y’all should have watched more Bengals games and maybe I wouldn’t have to tell you. He’s old now.

Probably his last chance to win the Super Bowl and not is he only not going to play but he is going to be on the losing side.q

Um Gregg… his Father just died. That might be a reason for his mood. An actual journalist might have remembered this and/or included it in the”article”.

How jolly would you be in that circumstance?

I remember how hopeful i was when they got him… thought he would be a real threat… what a disapoointment… I hope they cut him and get a real stud WR…

Am I the only one who thinks this has been another log term plot by bb and now they will surprise the giants with ocho having a big game?

I remember in 2004 all the talk was how the eagles were going to handle the 3-4 pats d. The whole media week was about that, then in the game the pAts played a 4-3 almost exclusively.

Don’t be shocked if chad is MVP of this game or atleast has his best game of the year, especially considering the injury to the best te in the game

oh my……..The Jets are interested in Chad! No, not as a receiver but as a personal insulter to Holmes!

he never had a full offseason to work with brady like every other receiver has had so to be fair we need to give him that…we all know bill doesn’t tolerate loafing or bad attitudes and if chad was guilty of either one he’d be in the unemployment line by now…i’m convinced that if the patriots don’t cut him and allow him time to bond with brady during minicamp OTAs and training camp next season he’ll be back to the old chad production-wise and maybe even give them the downfield threat they’ve been looking for…and who knows maybe he does play in the super bowl and come up with a big catch…it would be great to see

He is going to have 7 rec for 115 and 1 in the biggest game of his life…. Oh I forgot, he most likly wont even get a chance to catch 1 ball.

From the looks of the “NEW” Chad , I think he’d be better off being the “OLD” Chad.

At least you would have a reason to be on the field even if you were insanely conceeded and overwhelming with your mouth sometimes.

Chad Ochocinco’s dream as a young WR was to be single covered in the Super Bowl.

That dream will finally come true. I wonder what he’ll make of it.

His previous salary levels and contracts are not coming back either.

Some of you guys are complete morons. Does it make you feel better to take shots a professional athlete on some comment blog. Chad Ochocinco’s father just passed, he was at his funeral. Anyone understand that could part of the reason he may be in a somber mood? In Cincinnati, Chad was probably one of the most charitable players ever to play there and from what I heard completely approachable to any fan.

Chad needs to go back to court and change his name back; the ride is officially over!

Its a shame you didn’t behave like this in Cincinnati. The Bengals might have won some more games. Interesting how you don’t get playing time if you don’t run your routes correct. Only reason you’re still on the team is because Bill has a place in his heart for you.

The reports That chad can’t learn the play book is ridiculous. If randy moss could learn it, I’m sure chad could. There is a bigger plan in place. If BB can pull this off with intenionally having chad not “contribute” during the season and saving him for the Bowl, that would be brilliant.

Surprised they can’t find room for Chad in that porous secondary along with Julian Edelman .

On whether he was disappointed about his lack of production: “I don’t control that. I never have. Never been able to.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would beg to differ. Learn the playbook, get open, don’t drop passes.

I could use Ochocinco’s exact same excuse for not producing.

I could be the star of this Super Bowl and catch 10 touchdowns but I don’t control that. I never have. Never been able too.

Everybody’s against me.

Love all the ignorant comments here. Keep ‘em coming. I’m sure if I respond in kind, I know what will happen.

I do feel for Chad. DO I want him to get “sympathy passes” in the SB because of it? No, but I appreciate that he’s been from all accounts a great teammate and tried to do all the coaches ask of him. Bet you there would have been long odds on that happening if there was a Vegas line on it before the season started.

To be fair, the guy’s dad did just die.

By: brownsclown

brownsclown — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:26:06 +0000

Why are you wasting time with this guy?
He is so far down on the depth chart that Gronkowski would have to be in a wheelchair for him to be on the field. If he is really, really, lucky he may be on the active roster for the big game; but I doubt it.

This is a classical case of an average receiver, but an excellent showman, being moved to a good team, with a great coach and quarterback. And the result is his skills, commitment to practice and film study add up to him being fifth string.
And that is exactly where Oucho Stinko belongs on this team!

Early in the season he dropped a possible game winning bomb versus Buffalo. Brady never seemed to regain his confidence in him.

For old time’s sake, I’d like to see one of his Reebok Zig or Fathead commercials played during the Super Bowl. Or a spoof.

He should be happy he’s at the Super Bowl. Not sure he’ll be IN the Super Bowl.

Chad can’t win here. If he says nothing, he is called out for being down and not excited. if he says anything with personality, he is called out for acting out, for drawing attention to himself, for not taking it seriously.
