You Dolphins fans and your denial is so hilarious. The day before Flynn signed with the Seahawks, all your team and local media was talking about was how signing Flynn was a top priority, and Philbin gave y’all the inside track. Everyone was sure Miami would sign him. Then he joins Seattle, tells the local press he preferred the locker room in Seattle and felt they had a better vibe going on, and suddenly Philbin’s talking sour grapes to anyone who will listen.

Yeah sure, Flynn sucks. Your coach is so brilliant to have turned him down so they could… sign David Garrard? You gotta be kidding me. And then they draft Tannehill in the top 10? You can’t possibly think the Dolphins came out on top there.

Seattle is paying about $8m/yr ($10m guaranteed) to take a flyer on Flynn, which is backup money. If the Dolphins balked over that little amount of money, then it’s just further proof that nobody in the Dolphins’ front office belongs in the NFL. And it makes it obvious that Philbin was lying to cover up his embarrassment at being shunned by Flynn. How else do you let a potential starter at QB walk away for backup money? What a joke. The Dolphins are doomed to mediocrity as long as that circus sideshow front office and creepy Philbin are around. Bank on it.

Oh wait…… didn’t he once challenge Tom Zbikowski to a bout ?

Man, if he can’t deal with his old lady what chance has he got of dealing with the likes of Tom ?

I used to think Chad Johnson was funny and entertaining. Now he’s just kind of a tragicomic figure.

I would never call myself 85′s biggest fan, but the man’s world has crumbled in the span of 5 days and the amount of ridicule he is getting is deplorable. We STILL don’t know what really happened between he and his wife; the fact that she was telling the neighbor to change the story during the 911 call is very fishy to me. Chad may be a diva, but this woman gets paid to portray DRAMA and TRASH on tv; you really think she was completely innocent in all of this? Please.

I want nothing more for Chad to rise above this and come out the other side and give us another good year or two on the field. For all of his antics and his shortcomings, I don’t think he is cold-hearted and he doesn’t deserve to go out like this. Come to Dallas, Chad. Rise up out of the ashes and come retire wearing the star.

That being said, being cut on TV actually helps Chad. He took it very professionally. And he looked pretty good on the tape (even though he was TERRIBLE during the preseason game!) So seeing all of this, and seeing the pending divorce, the reality show that is Chad’s life may be over. All he has left is his talent and his talk.

So here’s the deal: I think he’s working this year. Some team is going to pick him up.

Philbin: “Chad we’re cutting you, now lets go get a Gosh Darn sandwich!”

Watching something like Hard Knocks is pretty much the equivalent of watching a soap opera.

It looks an awful lot like the same guy who couldn’t learn a playbook a year ago.

Dude looked like he married the wrong woman or something..

Telling us all he “loves his wife to death” isn’t all that smart after assaulting her either

But FinFans should have had an inkling he’d have trouble learning the offense.. Hate to say it but we told you so.

I hope Chad can find peace with life after football.

Fan of Chad’s or not, you have to admit that the guy isn’t bright enough to learn a playbook.

Even back in the Natti, Palmer had to explain every play to him.

If Chad head butted this woman he deserves the current situation he finds himself in. Unlike Ben who is still the starting QB.

Karma will be when Ben get what he deserves.

When Roethlisberger ran into trouble, Johnson didn’t care that Ben had never been in trouble, had never received any disciplinary action from the league, had never been arrested–which is more than we can say for Chad. Although the medical evidence showed no sexual assault had occurred in Roethlisberger’s case–which is why there was no arrest, he decided to step into something that was none of his business and challenge the league to suspend Roethlisberger. And he made his case on racial grounds. Yeah, he was cut on camera. Why not? He tried to get his face on camera every second of his career.

What goes around, comes around. We just rarely get to see karma played out so perfectly.

I’d bet $5000 right now that team goes nowhere as long as Philbin is in town. No doubt in my mind. The dude lacks integrity and it’s self-evident. No wonder Matt Flynn high tailed it out of there, that team is a mess.

His head coach, his quarterbacks (and I have to assume his receivers coach) all knew he didn’t know the playbook and he dropped more passes than he was catching. I’m surprised HBO didn’t add in a clanging sound effect every time a ball banged off his hands. All he did was run around, have a ball bounce off his hands and then flop on the ground.

How was that going to get him a roster spot?
