Chad: I'm done celebrating TD's until the Bengals get back to .500 - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

I like hearing this out of Chad Johnson. Put the focus clearly back on righting this sinking ship.

Would be better if it was until they won a super bowl, but its a step in the right direction.

Hopefully he'd also done lamenting TDs that aren't his as well.

I have no clue why he would celebrate in the first part of the season anyway. I really hope we may see a new side of Chad Johnson. Last year all that espn talked about was how Chad brought fun to the game, but how T.O. was a team distraction. I think they may have changed sides. T.O. seems to be well out of the spotlight this year, but Chad just can't stay out of it, even if it means his team losing games.

Chad must be tired of being footballs version of Stepit Fetchit.

Celebrating TDs? He has 28 TDs in the last 4 yrs. He should be grateful if he scores every other game, and he is in the prime of his career.
By comparison, Randy Moss has 32 TDs in the last 4 yrs, and he is on the downside of his career. When Randy Moss was in his prime he had 43 Tds in 3 yrs. Chad has 44 Tds in 7 yrs.
That is the difference in class.

Are you imply that Randy Moss is classier than Chad? Or are you stating that Moss is in a different class than Chad for WR's?

So now he's a sad clown.

Still a clown, though.

Moss was the only receiver on his team, while Chad shared TD's with Henry and Housh the past 4 years.

Who got more yards?

Jerry Porter, Nate Burleson, and Marcus Robinson weren't exactly scrubs. Who has Moss had throwing him the ball the last few years?

A breaking down Culpepper? Kerry Collins? Aaron Brooks? Not exactly Carson Palmer, eh?

Wow. How many times to your hear a player say that he'll not make a display? Johnson saying it is even more shocking.

Celebrations are a pretty controversial topic in sports. I wish there were less of them, actually. While watching a football game the other week, a defensive lineman made a tackle for a loss on 2nd Down and went about his celebration. On the next play (3rd and long), the defense gave up the first down. I thought that if he was going to celebrate, he should have waited until they finished the job!!

This is the smartest thing that's come out of his pie hole in a long time. It's only funny if your winning and the Bungles haven't done any of that in a long time.
