That's not what Chad Johnson said either

He's said he was emotional and out of line and apologized. Yet apparently that's not acceptable.

Who's argument is weakened now?

I don’t believe I read, “There was no shoving”. It's like when my wife says "I didn't say I was mad, I said I was upset". The cleverest way to defuse a report is to not respond directly to what actually happened. Who has motivation to cover-up, the guy who's gone or the guy who still has to work for and with the principles involved.

In any case, he was griping about a gameplan that was winning the game at the time and that is the point of the lesson. If this wasn’t a major issue, why was being addressed in 2008?

For crying out loud, it’s not like Marvin Lewis is Bobby Petrino. He is regarded as a player’s coach (maybe that’s why Cincy is in this predicament now) and here’s a player who can’t play for him.

Now if the issue is money, at least that makes sense. This prevailing discussion that “Mr. Team” just wants a ring is frankly, insulting. All of his clowning, although IMO is harmless, did nothing to make his club better and if he’s all about team, then that crap would be the furthest from his mind.

PLEASE JUST SAY "I DON'T CARE HE'S AN ASSHOLE, I WANT HIM ANYWAY". Anything else and you are just kidding yourself.
