Chad ochoshutup

The MAN Revis held him to NO catches last night in the big win before heading to the playoffs. Apparently, ochomouth said he’d change his name back if that happened. I really don’t care about that, but what I’m most interested in was his injury that caused him not to play in the 2nd half. I just wish the injury would have been to his mouth.

Maybe if he concentrated on his game as much as he did on his talk, they would not have gotten shut out last night.

Ah, I feel better already. I’d love to see the J-E-T-S beat the Bungles. And hopefully the dallas crygirls lose their first round playoff game. Again.

Let the playoffs begin!!!

He was ocho stinko in the 1st half and was oucho cinco in the 2nd half

He has more talent then the mouth in Buffalo and also the mouth in Denver. But, he is still cut from the same me, me, cloth. I think you can add Braylon Edwards to the growing group of wide receivers who aren’t nearly as good as they think.

Head cases like these guys are why I don’t watch much sports anymore. They are on the team and paid big bucks to make catches or tackles and when they do make a play they have to do all these antics with the look at me attitude.
It is enough to make a person puke.

i enjoy him. i’ve seen many interviews. he understands that he is first and foremost an entertainer. in a day and age where thuggery is rampant in tons of sports, hes a guy who has fun, talks smack, more than often backs it up, and more importantly never gets in trouble outside of the sport.

You are right on hnd. He is good for the NFL. How can you not laugh at him. The guy is just setting himself up for life after football and he usually backs it up. He actually hurt his knee in pregame warm ups and didn’t do much from that point.

I always liked the players who let their performance do the talking. Setting themselves up for later life? Are you on meds??? What business do any of us pursue that requires us to learn how to shoot of our mouth? Is there a proverb of wisdom written anywhere in history that encourages us to “lay the smack down”? How long is the list of fallen “entertainers” who acted like they were God’s gift to their craft? The bottom line truth is that if you really are all that and a bag o’ chips, smack isn’t needed.

Class…..whatever happened to having class?

Ya know, saying a person can back the smack is a crock justification embraced by powertrippers and fragile ego maniacs. Again, the classy ones know they need to prove nothing. They simply perform and let results do the bragging.

“But he’s funny…..” Maybe there’s a moment you can’t help but grin a little but how good or right it is, ask yourself how great it is when your kids start smacking you, the parent. We all know it’s disrespectful and anyone who cares about their kid’s development isn’t going to let them get away with that just because it was funny.

If it’s not good to practice in real life, we shouldn’t encourage and support it in our “professional athletes” either. Have some class.

You just can’t say Ochostinko and Robert Smith in the same sentence (sorry, I just did). One is pure class and the other is a loud mouth. One set him self up for life after football and walked away. The other has great talent and a $.50 head.

then someone needs to reevaluate their parenting if they are letting chad johnson raise their children.

i love hearing about all the guys doing it with class, some of the guys we think are the classiest people in the world were the biggest smack talkers in the leagues back in the day. there was just no outlet for it back then. i love reading athlete biographys….most of them leave my mouth agape. you can live in a dream world were players never show a bit of human competitive emotion and just do their work and go home.

“you can live in a dream world were players never show a bit of human competitive emotion and just do their work and go home.”

He has shown zero competitive emotion. He has shown himself to be all about Chad. As I said earlier he isn’t the worst one in the league but he is in the discussion of the me,me guys.

It’s one thing to thump your chest once after a big hit behind the line or you stuff a guy a couple of yards short. It’s another to mug for the camera’s after a 5 yard completion when you needed 7 yards for a first down.

Maybe you aren’t old enough to remember the Jerry Rice, Fred Biletnikoff, Joe Montana, Ken Stabler, Lynn Swan, Dan Marino’s of the world. They have shown what winning and class are about. Please don’t confuse talent with class. T.O. Chad Johnson, Mike Williams and many, many more have shown exactly that point.

It pretty much started with Dion Sanders, but he at least could back things up with his play.

hahahah

Jerry Rice – one of the biggest trash talkers on the field when he played. also took a retired number when he was in seattle.. class haha

i’m sorry, all these guys have me me me mentalities. some show it more than others. i sent dan marino a football card when i was in 6th grade asking me for an autograph. know what i got back? the card back and an order form asking for 50 bucks. class act right there.

what chad johnson does is great for the sport. he’s there to entertain and give people their moneys worth. save class for funerals and award shows. these guys bash their brains in for 60 minutes and we want violence, blood, sweat, and tears out of them but then we want class too? BEAT THEIR BRAINS IN! KILL KILL KILL BUT DO IT WITH CLASS!!

you old guys can whine and cry all you like but to think most of these guys aren’t in it for themselves is crazy.

hnd ma man…..

you ever play high school sports? If so, did you get involved against your will or did someone have to pay you for it?

I don’t think anyone is intentionally trying to overlook the fact that very few of us ever chase anything to a “rare-talent” level without possessing a self-driven desire to succeed….and uhhhh……maybe cuz we like it too! Step up a level here…

When someone flattens his opponent and then helps him up off the ground, that shows a thing called SPORTSMANSHIP. That’s competition with respect and you see it just as often as the endzone sparkies were talking about. Are we to conclude that those actions are bad for the sport?

Exchanging a few words during competition is common with those who believe they need to establish some level of intimidation before they can be dominant and has nothing to do with being passionate, emotional, expressive, or having sportsmanship. This is what us “old guys” have learned through years and years of experience and example.

All the smack does is focus attention, give the media something to talk about and stir the publicity kettle. But what do they need the extra attention for? Contracts? Endorsements? Egos? It’s clearly a selfish display within a team sport. It takes 10 other guys on that field doing their job right to give these yucks a chance to catch the ball. Robert Smith would break tackles, outrun defenders, and catch passes in the endzone and hand the ball off to the ref. If the teammates catch up and celebrate, that’s a team celebration. But the moment someone turns and gets in the face of a competitor, that is poor sportsmanship. If you’re so good that the TEAM got the touchdown, why the need to say anything at all?

There is a big difference between the trash talk that players use amongst themselves and making flambouyant displays for attention.

Randy Moss once made the gesture of mooning the Green Bay fans after scoring a touchdown. I’m not a Moss fan at all. To me, he was another immature punk with exceptional ability. As a player, he has/had great talent but as a person or sportsman, he was childish. When he did the moon thing, I found myself laughing. One, I’m a Vikings fan. Two, it struck me as harmless humor. But two other factors existed. One, it was a childish retort toward booing fans. Two, the league fined him $10,000 for unsportsman like conduct.

You say it’s good for the sport……then why was he fined?

The next game that Randy played was not littered with new fans just waiting to see what end zone antics he might do this week. The TV ratings didn’t increase. Merchandising didn’t go through the roof. Enough people pronounced offense to his action that there was concern over losing money and fanbase.

The NFL knows that it’s not the dances or the smack that sells tickets. It was Randy’s amazing gift of a vertical leap at 20mph, outjumping defenders, making that ball stick to hands like static cling, and racing off to a TD or getting the feet down for a TD. THAT’S what sells jerseys and tickets. The NFL wouldn’t fine anybody for unsportsmanlike conduct if it wasn’t detremental to their collective interests.

Good for the sport…..Pffftt….

the nfl fines its players because it makes people like you think they are punishing players when in actuality, all the fine is is a forced tax deductible charitable donation for the players. fining a player making 10 million dollars a year 10 grand isn’t a “Hey stop doing that” fine…they love it you think the nfl doesn’t giggle with glee everytime he does what he does? you are kidding yourself. i personally, dont think they should fine them period and there are plenty out there who agree with me. people see the fines and call it the “no fun league” but i think its genius. the player doesn’t care, the people who enjoy it dont’ care, the bengals enjoy it because it takes away media attention from their squad of criminals, and the people who think its preposterous think justice was served. its a win win win win situation.

I’ve also watched chad pick up plenty of defenders off the ground. i believe chad also has purchased plenty of items for his defense/linemen and quarterbacks. bentleys and what not. but i guess he’s still classless.

apparently you don’t know why moss mooned the fans. it wasn’t because they were booing him its because whenever the vikings bus pulls up to the packers stadium, there are is a long line of packers fan ACTUALLY mooning the players. it was hilarious.

there is no way to directly correlate merchandise sales to antics like this but i will tell you, i guarantee chad sells more jerseys than driver/colston/mason/boldin all players around his talent level. why? because of his good natured entertaining.

in the end its all about business. the nfl is one of the better sports entities out there because they do a great job of making everyone happy.

i guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on this subject.

btw i played football/soccer/basketball in hs and some in college.

He mooned them because of the booing…..the bus history gave him the idea how to retaliate. In fact, he even thought they’d find it funny because that’s what they do. But, like so many, they can dish but can’t take it.

We will disagree because I’m looking at histories and from a perspective of human action/response. Everybody has an angle on what makes them right but you can’t argue with results. Centuries and milleniums full of results.

I look at the “bad antics” as unneccessary altogether because acts of charity, good sportsmanship, and anything else that’s considered good and honorable, does NOT excuse poor behavior, no matter the excuse. Everybody understands revenge, getting even, an eye for an eye……so it’s easy to look the other way. The excuses are many but the bottom line is that it’s just not necessary.

Like it or not, these guys are role models and it’d be so much easier if they’d realize that’s a priviledge. When a kid sees the antics, they’re likely to “monkey-see, monkey-do” and because these behaviors do not bode well in the real world, the one you and I are living in right now, parents have to explain to their kids that one thing they did was good and another wasn’t. What kid likes their “hero” getting picked apart by mom or dad?

I’m not just grasping at ideals from my own list of preferences…..this is stuff backed with years and years of results with which there are numerous examples to show that there is NO real benefit to these attention soaking displays. No number of good deeds is going to excuse hard feelings when they arise…..and they always do. At some point, someone on the team is going to have an issue with it and will take away from the performance of the team as a whole.

Randy did some good deeds….strongly because it was required of the players (in his early years) but what did everyone remember him for? Playing when he felt like it? Running into the traffic cop? Squirting the ref with a water bottle? This stuff wipes out good deeds like an eraser and as “the old guys” tried to reel him in a bit, division resulted. People left and frankly, no one but the Raiders was even willing to look at him when the trade talk began. Again, if the bosses love this so much, they should be chomping at the bit to find the most crass and flambouyant player they can buy. A #1 rated receiver in the NFL……not wanted by 33 other teams? The notion that this is good for the sport still makes no sense because it’s opposite of what the league and the owners and coaches actually do. Randy was causing problems, the world knew it, and the Vikes never looked back. TO has the same problematic history, everywhere he goes. Keyshawn Johnson found his career to be a short one for having the attitude as well. Others have exemplified this and more will continue to secure future proof.

Chad does have a sense of humor to help smooth things over but even that will only go so far and last so long. Don’t worry about my perspective, just watch what he does as time moves along. Everybody basically goes one of two ways. They either mellow out and minimize any form of outburst or they become more frustrated and bitter as things just seem to pile up and they become more difficult. Chad’s still really young but I’m telling you, you can bet the house that he’ll either mellow out or prove the old guys right as the years roll on.

It will be interesting to see if any other teams are interested in him besides the Bengles when he becomes a FA, and just who those teams are.

His antics are designed with the intention of getting exposure on Sport Center. He knows his play isn’t enough for him to get the notariety his ego craves, so he draws attention to himself by being a spectacle. That attention he hopes will build his value when he goes out and tests the FA market.

Personally, I can’t stand the guy, and agree that he is not good example for kids to want to emulate.

OCHO-NO SHOW !!

2 catches at home in the playoffs. What a joke!!

revis is probably one of the best corners of the decade…that guy would hold jerry rice and monk in check.

Who here, really had a pro athlete “role model” that they molded their personal life from ??? Yeah, you might have tried to copy their swing or throw, but did it go beyond that ??? My role models were my parents and other family members. I always hear, that pro athletes are “role models”… no they are not, they are pro athletes… I can’t remember who it was but he said, if I am your kids role model, then you are failing him as a father… Yes, they are under a microscope and are held to higher standards than you or me… when we screw up, millions don’t get to hear about it every 10 minutes on the TV and radio… hey it’s the price you pay to be famous… but nobody pays them to teach and raise your kids, that’s your job.

Mentioning Monk? Very nice! It was a load of crap that coke head loser m irvin made it into the HOF before Monk. Makes me wanna barf. If irvin is in there, Irving Fryar should be in there too.

As for ochod-bag…I LOVE IT!!! Revis is the man! Showed ochomoron up again today, which was expected and delivered. Now all I can say is GO EAGLES!! I hope the crygirls stay home. It’s about time geri jones came down out of the box and stood where he really should- on the sidelines with a headset on.

Maybe Ocho No Show should deliver the goods before he goes running his mouth. He was totally schooled today.

If you want to talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk, and so far Ocho just hasn’t done it.

I believe OchoNoShow is now understanding how much Chris Henry really helped him.

I think you are right. There is no “I” in the word team.

Of course Ocho would say..”there’s an ‘M’ and a ‘E’ “!

I love it. We are talking about it in a fishing forum, so it gets exposure. Every radio and sports station plays his antics. Its sports entertainment. How would we know who the classy and great players were if there was no one acting stupid to make them look better. I don’t agree with most of it but I do watch them. The fake bribe was great, and he knew he was going to get fined. They want people to watch and he gets them to watch. Howard Stern has his own empire because people want to hear what he is going to say next, and people watch the bengals cause they want to see what he is going to do next. I am not saying alot of his antics aren’t too much but if the nfl wasn’t benefiting from him they would suspend him for outburst not just fine him. Someday I am sure he will go overboard but I know millions will tune in hoping to see the time he does.
