This is unfortunate for CJ because now everyone is like "I told you so!" about him when in reality he's never been a "societal problem". The worst he ever did was request a trade from the Bengals.

I never understood the Ocho Cinco hate, personally. Look at what other players do, (Ray Lewis, Chris Henry, Haynesworth, Pac-man, Vick). We had Donte Stallworth and Larry Johnson on our team recently. Meanwhile, Chad changes his name and we're horrified.

Don't know how this arrest will pan out, but up to that point I don't understand why anyone would bash Chad/Ocho.*

*(Even though I'm glad Vinny wasn't able to trade multiple 1st rounders for him, a while back. Thank goodness the Bengals turned us down.)

His act gets annoying after a while. Just play ball. Marrying reality stars, having multiple tv shows, constant twittering, putting on HOF jackets after you score...all that is all good when you can still get open and put up numbers. Now his skills have eroded and no one cares about his act anymore. It's a distraction that Philbin wasn't going to tolerate.
