The Weird, Wacky and Awesome World of the NFL - General Banter thread

Good to see Philbin had the balls to cut him. Lays down a marker to the rest of the roster.

Chad's realease is, in my eyes, a pretty clear sign that his performances in camp were well below par. If he had impressed Philbin we can be pretty sure that he would have been kept on. Getting released shows that, in the Dolphins opinion, Chad is just too much trouble for the lack of production that they will get from him.

I agree with that to an extent. But I dont honestly believe that if Johnson was doing well at camp, Philbin would have kept him. You have to remember that the Fins got rid of Marshall for the same kind of continuous nonsense and negative attention, yet Marshall is still a top receiver.

Regardless of how he was doing in camp, his arrest was the final straw for Philbin in my book.

So chad has been released. Wonder is this the end for him.

The phins really couldn't afford to have the ocho show around anymore, especially after what just happened. I can't see where he'll go from here after this. In recent years the guy has been just too interested in celebrity, rather than just focusing on playing ball. No team can afford the luxury of a loose cannon like him.

Difference between Marshall and Johnson is that Marshall is still a good WR Johnson isn't and he hasn't proven he can do much anymore. His camp performance has been average according to many pundits following him in Miami and have said that his athletic ability is still top par but his football ability is just average.

No question about it, Ocho is done at least 2 years now. Could have been cut even without the arrest. My point was that Philbin is not going to tolerate crap from players, evident in the Marshall trade. Thus when Ocho beat his wife, he was always going to be cut.

If they were willing to tolerate Marshall, who is still a top 10 receiver, then not a hope Ocho was going to last.

Was a bad idea from day 1 to bring him in.

Bess and Hartline aren't the worst receivers to be honest...

You ll have the Leagues worst offense throwing to the slow over and over and over again,

I dunno I just see Philbin on the hot seat by the end of the year...

Undefeated Doc. I tried for a good hour to find this online but couldnt get it anywhere. I see its screening in Liffey Valely. Does anyone know an online source I could find it?

Incidentally the ESPN 30 for 30 videos on their own site are no longer available.

Another twist in the Ochocinco incident, this lass claims she had a four month affair with him:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2188278/Chad-Johnson-NFL-star-mistress-engagement.html

And to think he could probably get almost any girl he wanted :pac:

2 things make me suspicious.

1) She's a bit of a munter.

2) She claims Chad watched the Superbowl with his wife and kids and Text her during it!

"Johnson took little care to hide their affair, Shiner said. As he watched the Super Bowl with his wife and children, he was texting his mistress 'saying he was missing me', she claimed."

I can't see a phone in Chad's hands here!



He tweets from everywhere, but if he got his phone into the ball in the Super Bowl, then he's pretty good.

Am I missing the point here somewhere?

Madness, isn't it? :pac:

I was too busy laughing at the fact that an NFL player who could get virtually any girl he wanted would have an affair with her to notice that he actually played in the Super Bowl :pac:

Daily Mail Journalism loooool :P
