Chad Johnson up to his old antics...

where talking about practice...practice..man practice...its only practice..don't act like you wouldn't take CJ because of this because you'll be lying to yourself. Its like saying i wouldn't roll in the sack with jessica alba because i'm married..its practice..a voluntary practice

People are always very hard on people like CJ, Randy Moss, and T.O....and yeah they can be jerks at time, but they are talented jerks. Unlike talentless or unproven jerks (like former Redskins Brandon Lloyd for example). People come down on CJ and forget that:

A.) He hasn't had any troubles with the law, unlike a crapload of his team mates
B.) The Bengals are not necessarily a model organization in the NFL

I think the same thing could be said of Randy Moss (playing for a dysfunctional team like the Raiders before he went to NE) and T.O. (who just wanted to get paid, but the Eagles are cheap and didn't want to pay him).

The Bengals should trade him if he doesn't want to play there, and who wouldn't? Would you want to play for a team where half of the team has discipline issues and end up in trouble with the law? And if he is available at the right price, we should get him, because unlike Lloyd, he's a proven receiver that would automatically upgrade our offense and make us a great team.

I agree with that mostly, but I dunno about calling the Eagles cheap they gave Asante Samuel 6 years 57 million.

So in your mind, it's OK to ask for a trade on SEVERAL occasions, and on SEVERAL occasions be told "NO", and then still go around and act like a baby?
I am OK with him wanting out, what I am not OK with is that his team said no way, you have a contract, on several occasions, and he is still acting like a baby.
What he is doing is childish. He is in effect saying "I'm not getting my way, so I will continue to bitch and moan until I get my way." You are endorsing that behavior?

To piggyback on your comment, when he first got the contract, he talked about how happy he was to be a Bengal and that he'd "never forget what the Bengals did for" him. Now, he wants out. Give me a break!

Oh, and I definitely DON'T want Pacman here.

1) If Johnson comes available on draft weekend the Redskins will try to make a deal, so it is too early to say "we stayed away from him".

2) I also think Laron Landry, among a few others, was not at the open of Redskins voluntary workouts.

3) I'd prefer that players show, and most do, but this is the modern NFL I guess. If owners keep caving to player demands for trades then these things will just keep happening.

I agree with that mostly, but I dunno about calling the Eagles cheap they gave Asante Samuel 6 years 57 million.

You are correct, and I actually should have said that they were cheap back then, not now when they spent a ton of money for Samuel.

I've been 100% opposed to trading for Chad since the rumors first began to fly. The guys is 30+, will likely want a new deal, will take one or two high draft picks to get, is selfish, routinely pulls dumb stunts that incur yellow flags, and got into a physical altercation with his coach. Yeah, sounds real enticing. He's not a Pacman Jones, but he's certainly TO-esque.

And don't forget about his argument with Carson Palmer that was captured on national TV -- even though they were arguing about an interception that turned out to be Ocho Stinko's fault because he ran the wrong pattern.

who cares , this has nothing to do with the redskins because we didnt sign him. Players always skip volantary workouts. When they skip mini camps then we can make a big fuse about it.

Wasn't that a contractual issue. I don't fully recall.

I have always hated when players whine to get thier way, doesn't matter who it is. You signed a contract, and a lucrative one at that...be a man and honor it.
Well teams have a way of getting out of deals when its in their best interest. So that goes both ways.
