Normally I don't like showboats or big mouths...but Chad Johnson is funny.
Referring to yourself in third person as Ocho Cinco is funny.

Maybe it will be in the press by morning. Someone post a link if you see the story.

Welcome back, Chad
Boasting is back as he relishes showdown with Hall.

By Kevin Goheen
Post staff reporter

Marvin Lewis gave fair warning to the media this week, fair warning of an approaching storm in the form of Chad Johnson and DeAngelo Hall. The Bengals wide receiver and his Atlanta cornerback counterpart have been talking about their regular-season matchup since the offseason, and now it's just three days away.

Some storms are too good to take shelter from.

"They should have charged you guys admission for it," Lewis told the media Wednesday. "They've had this little spoof they've been getting you guys hooked into, so that will continue this week, I guess. Now it's a combination - since they set this all up, they've tied you guys in it hook, line and sinker."

The two Pro Bowl players will see a lot of each other Sunday afternoon at Paul Brown Stadium when the Bengals host the Falcons. Both teams are 4-2 and both are coming off tight three-point wins, albeit in different fashion as the Bengals edged Carolina 17-14 and Atlanta outscored Pittsburgh 41-38 in overtime.

Johnson has been relatively quiet all season, on the field and off of it. He has just one touchdown catch among his 30 receptions and has yet to break the 100-yard barrier in any game, an unusual occurrence for a player whose 17 career 100-yard games is just three shy of the franchise record owned by Isaac Curtis. In the last two games, however, he's caught a 51-yard pass from quarterback Carson Palmer and then he and Palmer connected on a 32-yard completion on a fourth-and-one play last Sunday against Carolina.

Off the field, he has been subdued in his boastings, at least subdued relative to Chad Johnson in previous years. That wasn't the case Wednesday. He began his interview session with local media by pulling out an orange marker and writing "DeAngelo Fall" on his checklist of teams trying to cover him. Johnson has had only teams listed so far and no individuals.

"I'm taking a risk. I'm coming out," Johnson said. "Coach Lewis has told me to tone it (down). He's told me to be quiet. I've been quiet all year. I haven't said much. I'm back. I'm back. I'm going to let it rip. My name isn't Chad no more. We're celebrating Spanish heritage month in October in the NFL. Ocho Cinco from now on. Anybody that writes about whatever I say today, you call me Ocho Cinco. Do not say Chad. You're going to get a pay cut. I'm not playing. Questions? DeAngelo Fall. Do not say Hall or I'm going to stop the interview."

Johnson likes to refer to himself as "Eighty-five," his jersey number, so his Spanish translation is a little off (it would correctly be rendered "Ochenta y cinco"), but his exuberance was back to normal. Regarding Hall:

"He's someone I've been looking forward to going against since Hawaii (Pro Bowl). We've been going at it since Hawaii. Every time we see each other in the offseason, on radio shows and TV shows, he continues to talk and continues to talk all the time. He's not usually into talking and walking. That's not his game. He can't do what Ocho Cinco does. I'm going to look in every camera.

"Big Willie Anderson owns a Fatburger in Atlanta. When I'm done with you (Hall), I want you to quit playing for Atlanta and go work at Big Willie's Fatburgers. That's what you're going to do when I'm done with you."

Hall, Atlanta's first-round draft choice in 2004, has 12 career interceptions, including four this season. He's returned two of his interceptions for touchdowns, including one this season against Arizona, and he's never been shy about comparing himself to the player who made No. 21 famous in Atlanta more than a decade ago, Deion Sanders.

"I think that that's a great one-liner," Hall said about Johnson suggesting he go to work for Willie Anderson. "I'm a Pro Bowl player. I ain't too worried about finding a job. I can always find a job."

Hall and Johnson share the same confidence about their games. What they don't share is the same bravado talking about it. While Johnson's mouth is hard to slow down once he gets started, Hall is more down-to-earth.

"DeAngelo's not a talker, he's a player," said Atlanta head coach Jim Mora. "He doesn't talk a lot. He's said a couple things in his career, but he's not a guy that goes out of his way to stir it up. It's not his style.

"I don't really wince. As long as it doesn't get out of control and it doesn't get personal. I know for a fact that those guys have tremendous respect for each other. If they didn't have the respect for each other, they probably wouldn't challenge each other they way they are. So, that's what it's all about - the competition, the battle of the great ones. And that's certainly a battle of great ones - great, great ones."

Hall was named the "NFL's Fastest Man" at last February's Pro Bowl competition. One of the shocks of Atlanta's win over Pittsburgh was watching Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, minus one shoe, outrace Hall and the rest of the Falcons to the end zone for a 70-yard touchdown reception.

The verbal sparring between Johnson and Hall began at the Pro Bowl and it is as much out of mutual respect as it is showmanship and entertainment, as Lewis suggested this week.

"Any time you get a great receiver and a great DB hooked up, it's going to be a great game," Hall said. "Chad actually pulled me aside and actually said I was the first guy to say something back to him in two years. I guess I earned some respect from him for that. I'm just going to come out there and play, man. Talking aside, at the end of the day, we still have to line up on the field and play a game."

Johnson was talking up the team aspect as well.

"Marvin, I know you're mad. You might fine me. But it's not about the money. This is for the better of the team," said Johnson. "You always said the key word was team. I'm doing this for the team."

Because he doesn't take it to the level of others. He's an entertainer and a pretty good WR. That's it. Nothing more. Others take it beyond the level of entertaining, into everyday street life. "I'm a real badazz!" type of crap. Could most of the super athletes kick the avg guys butt? Probably. Have some of them been shot or been in a 1,000 street fights? Absolutely. Is it something to gloat about? Give me a break.

Play the game, have fun, entertain and maybe when it's all said and done, you'll own a few NFL records and/or be considered one of the meanest, baddest SOB's to have ever played.

Then go home and be the best husband and/or father anyone could hope for. Plain and simple.;)

I wish Johnson would just play football right now. I have him on my fantasy team, spent a second round pick on him and he hasn't been worth squat this year. I'm getting killed man.

jtk, you also have to realize that Chad isn't the only good reciever playing for the Bengals, they're pretty deep. But, as you and everyone else knows, Chad won't stay down long. It's just a matter of time until he gets hot.

Last year, he sent the entire Browns secondary bottles of Pepto Bismal with a note that read "You'll need this after you see what I do to you this weekend. Sincerely, 85." They had that on an episode of NFL Films.

I could be wrong, but I think he was the joke after that game. Not sure if it was this stunt, but after one of these stunts he had a horrible game.

Zippy, you're correct! He had a horrible game against the Browns after he sent them Pepto Bismal. Cleveland won that game in a blowout.

He actually knew all of the Browns DBs pretty well from something according to the piece NFL films ran. I don't have a problem with stuff like that. Doesn't hurt anyone.

Nope! Like someone else stated, Chad doesn't get personal and he is pretty good friends with some of the guys from the Browns, if I'm not mistaken. The Fatburger line is funny though.

I am pretty sure that you feel as if you want to trade him right now because of his poor play but if I were you, I would keep him. Hell I am trying to trade for him right now. I am trying to get him for Braylon Edwards but I know I won't get him. I might as well put that trade out there to see if his owner is stupid enough to take the bait.

OCHO-CINCO TICKS OFF FALCONS: When Bengals WR Chad Johnson broke out of his shell this week and boasted to the world that the Mouth Who Loves to Roar is back, one man thought he took it too far. Falcons head coach Jim Mora.

"I gathered my whole team up — and I never do this, never care about bulletin board stuff — but this one was different. This one I felt crossed the line," Mora told FOX NFL Sunday. "I've never felt compelled to gather my whole team and read them an article like this but I feel he crossed the line. There's one thing to have fun with things and then there's another when you take it too far.

"I told my guys, he's not just talking about DeAngelo (Hall, the corner who will be facing Johnson on Sunday). He's talking about all of you guys. He's making this about all of you."

At least one Falcons leader was affected by Mora's speech. Hard-hitting linebacker Keith Brooking sent a text message to former Falcons QB and current Bengal Doug Johnson in which he sent out a warning shot of sorts to the outspoken wideout in not the kindest of words.
Not a good guy to have going after you.

By Jay Glazer; Foxsports.com

Imo Chad Johnson just seems to pump up his teams opponents by taking verbal jabbs at opposing players. After viewing the highlights from this game, it looked like D'Angelo Hall won this personal contest.

He actually had "Ocho Cinco" over his name on his jersey, on the sideline I saw it before the game, I thought he was serious until someone took it off haha.

This reminds me of when TO spun the ball on the Star at Texas Stadium, and Roy Williams decked him out. After that, Roy jacked TO up in the end zone after knocking a pass out of his grasp. I was at the game, and it was probably one of the most amazing thing ever. Just watching TO jog over to the star, and then seeing Roy Williams sprinting straight at him, we all knew what was coming.

I love the guy, he's hilarious and has a fun time playing football, plus from everything I've read he's a good teammate too. I read how, a couple years ago, he and Carson Palmer went to a Monday night game so they could observe how Manning and Marvin Harrison worked together and watched what they did both on the field and on the sidelines so they could play better as well.
