the dance of course...can't believe so many people hate on 85![]()
I don't find it odd that Johnson has more than his fair share of "haters". What does one expect when CJ is taunting the fans of every NFL team not named the Bengals? I understand that the guy is just playing around, and I think he is hilarious, but when you go out of your way to draw attention to yourself, the hatred comes with the territory, along with a bigger slice of the revenue pie. Some may also despise CJ's motives for calling attention to himself with his celebrations. It should come as no surprise that CJ realizes that this attention will lead to fatter bank account. Don't get me wrong, I think CJ brings some much needed entertainment to a violent game, but CJ brings all of this upon himself.the dance of course...can't believe so many people hate on 85![]()
Not true. He bruised his shoulder when he came down out of bounds after sticking his feet in the endzone. I was at the game, and immediately after the dance, he slowly jogged over to the sideline and immediately took a knee in pain. The trainers helped him up and over to the bench. It was obvious he was in significant pain from the time he got up after the catch. At a news conference today, it was reported he was still having problems raising his arm above his shoulder.now we have apologists trying to explain CJ's lame-### chicken dance?c'mon, the guy's either a big time performer or not. he just simply didn't have it yesterday.![]()
That's funny, I find my 95 year old grandma's birthday party to pale in comparasin to all of the excitement and action of a 60 minute NFL game. If he feels his best value to the league is as a dancer then maybe he should be a cheerleader instead. Myself, I get up off the couch, yell and scream, and go through a hundred different states of emotion and excitement. And not once do I do this for a player's dance. I'd love to see celebrations, ones that involve the other 10 guys on the field. Instead of self promoting, self aggrandizing nonsense that draws away from the savage beauty of an NFL game with drunken impersonations of riding a canoe or changing a diaper.So pick away at the Fun Nazis and pretend the celebration is more entertaining than the TD, and I'll keep cheering loudest when someone shuts your dumb mouth up like the Browns did.I thought it was funny. It's like Chad telling the NFL that if they restrict players' celebrations, you're going to get the level of entertainment of watching my 95 year old Grandma's birthday party.I thought it was hilarious that even though Chad was obviously in pain, he still couldn't pass up the chance to show up the Fun Nazis at the NFL.

Did you seriously just say you hope someone bashes my face in like the Browns did to Chad Johnson? I was just expressing my opinion... I, along with many, many other football fans find the antics of Chad Johnson or Steve Smith to be an exciting and entertaining part of the game. The laughs from a good TD celebration compliment the aspects of football that you and I both like, the "savage beauty" of the game. Wait a minute.... you are one of the NFL fun nazis! AAAAH!

I was referring to a Chad Johnson quote. So unless you got bashed by the Browns this weekend AND said the quote about granny parties then I probably wasn't talking about YOU. I find a good solid bonecrushing hit 8000 times more fun than a stupid dance.

Holy crap man, way to take all the fun out of the game. I really don't understand people sometimes. Endzone celebrations may be self aggrandizing but so effing what, they are harmless. They aren't rampant due to fines so let them dance if they want to. I smell a fantasy owner who has been beat by 85 one too many times.That's funny, I find my 95 year old grandma's birthday party to pale in comparasin to all of the excitement and action of a 60 minute NFL game.

Either way, unless you were also laid out by the Browns this weekend I was clearly not advocating laying you out with a vicious hit. Although if I did and then did a funny little riverdance it would probably then be entertaining, right?If that was a quote from CJ I would have put "these guys" around it.

Well I had him 2 of the last 3 years so I guess that theory goes bye bye.I'm just sick of guys who make extra extra ordinary plays, along with 10 other guys on the field and then drop it to kindergarten level with charades, who push their own players out of the way to get the spotlight when their achievement of a TD or sack or whatever is what gave them the spotlight. Why act like a ######ed buffoon when you've just made the most physically challenging play and beaten out someone who has also spent their whole life training to be at the pinnacle of athletic perfection. And then you think because you can't shimmy around like an ####### that the league is "No Fun". Like I said, I have NEVER stood up and cheered or gotten excited over a dance. Maybe if it was something like bowling, then the dance might be better than the achievement. But c'mon, crying because you can't pantomime mooning a crowd or wiping a baby's ###?And BTW, I'd rate that hit as the most exciting part of almost ANY game, regardless of who it was. Unless it was a Seahawk.And another thing, why is it that when you don't like aplayer's actions or come out with an opinion about a player that someone tries to say that that player burned you in FF and that's why you don't like him? Especially on a non FF topic. I play in about 3 leagues a year and at some point in time I've been burned by or rode to victory on the backs of just about every player. Saying I don't like Johnson's endzone dances because he beat me at FF at some point is absolutely absurd and is the most tired argument on this site.Holy crap man, way to take all the fun out of the game.

see? more excuses. if the dude's gonna dance, he's gotta bring it.Not true. He bruised his shoulder when he came down out of bounds after sticking his feet in the endzone.

I don't think this poll isn't really a fair judge of CJ haters. A dance which was probably one of his worst vs. an incredible hit. It was like his body exploded! Equipment everywhere, blood, it had everything!If this poll was the CJ celebration where he was holding up a sign asking to not be fined again vs. a good, not great, hit, then the celebration would win.As of now 72 people like a concussion better than a celebration.Explains alot about those who have never taken a good shot to the head and have no idea what physical activity or even what "outside" could possibly resemble
Well said.Chad Johnson is one of my favorite players, I think he handles the cockiness thing perfectly, and TO and Moss could learn a lot from him, he does it to be funny and all tongue-in-cheek, but that was a sweet hit.I don't think this poll isn't really a fair judge of CJ haters.

If you really think these TD celerations are entertainment you need to get a life. They have absolutely nothing to do with football. Give me a Barry Sanders TD any day.I thought it was funny. It's like Chad telling the NFL that if they restrict players' celebrations, you're going to get the level of entertainment of watching my 95 year old Grandma's birthday party.
See... I'll take BOTH the exciting TD and the celebrations.

Huge hits like that are a part of football. And I am absolutely astounded by your ability to read my life's story based on a vote in a poll on an internet ff site. You must be a hit at parties.As of now 72 people like a concussion better than a celebration.Explains alot about those who have never taken a good shot to the head and have no idea what physical activity or even what "outside" could possibly resemble
The chicken dance was started in '85? Learn something new every day.the dance of course...can't believe so many people hate on 85![]()
Did you dumb asses notice that he was hurt on the TD and still did the chicken dance through the pain... haters.![]()
Good call. No matter how much you hate a player, rooting for injury makes you a pathetic human being.I'm not a Chad Johnson fan. I'm more of a Barry Sanders "pretend you've been there before" kind of guy. But I thought the hit was vicious (but certainly legal) and the post-game interview was sad. This guy was really hurt. I don't like seeing a guy look like that. Even if I thought he deserved to be taken down a peg, I don't find that particularly funny. Now, if he got up and was okay and kept playing, I'd feel good about it. But seeing him obviously feeling it after the game...I don't feel good about that.Maybe I'm too sentimental or something. I never liked watching Merrill Hoge on TV either, because he looked sad to me, struggling to keep his thoughts together after a career of concussions. Watching him try to make a point made me a little uncomfortable, and watching Johnson's post-game interview gave me a similar feeling.Again, totally legal hit and part of the game. I just can't celebrate it even if 85 gets on my nerves.
No capt. dumb ###, I was explaining why the chicken dance sucked.Did you dumb asses notice that he was hurt on the TD and still did the chicken dance through the pain... haters.![]()
LOL @ people trying to make him look like some sort of hero for dancing while in pain. You guys have to get real.
AholeI'd like to see the event where he gets hit by a bus and dragged for several miles. Ton of talent but he's starting to sound like TO and I hate that csucker. I'm REALLY tired of the end zone celebrations which is nothing more than saying "Hey, look at me!". Just score, hand the ball to the ref, and trot off to the sideline to get your ### slapped by your teammates. Oh, and keep your gold-toothed mouth shut about what corner you're going to shut down this week. Very unbecoming.![]()

Yeah, that makes sense. You only have one putdown, and yet you call me the #######.

Yes I will deal with it. I figure in a matter of years I will not be watching football anymore. Every year the circus gets worse. Anyone who thinks these antics are funny is just as immature as the person doing them. To me it looks like 20 year olds entertaining teenagers.See...
