Dolphins WR Chad Johnson arrested for domestic violence, Cut by Dolphins

[Rip]

Come to Minnesota. That'd rock.

 

[steeljake]

They had to cut him. There is no way they can set a tone for a new regime without letting him go. I hope Chad gets a shot somewhere else though I think he has something left in the tank ability wise.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Cowboys? He and Dez can end every touchdown by punching a cheerleader in the mouth.

 

[Tailback U]

Last I checked Terrell Owens and Braylon Edwards have never head butted a woman.

But good effort!

I wasn't really referring to this incident. Seattle just seems like the kind of club that gives old receivers or washouts a chance.

IMO, this was all public relations.

Chad Johnson may be a bit goofy, but he's never committed an illegal act (as far as I know) until this alleged illegal act.

And the woman complained of assault after Johnson said he wanted to be a porn actor.

Frankly, this entire situation is fishy.

If Johnson were Dez Bryant or Pacman, fine ... cut him. But this was a first-time allegation, give the guy the benefit of the fucking doubt ... or at least the benefit of proof.

Not only is Johnson a fucking lunatic, but combine the fact that he put his hands (or forehead) on a woman with the fact that he can't play anymore, and what is the point of keeping him around?

And dave, if beating a woman was Johnson's idea of a PR stunt, he needs new advisers.

A screen capture from 6/25 testing that Madden '13 Producer Mike Young posted earlier today. Guess if it's in the game, it's in the game.

I'm saying this is a PR stunt on the Dolphins' part.

What the hell ever happened to the notion of being innocent until proven guilty?

What if we find out the woman is lying?

Again ... Johnson has no history of this kind of behaviour.

Who cares if he's innocent. He has no history of this kind of behavior, but he has a long history of distracting, retarded behavior. This adds to that. And this is exactly the reason you don't sign Johnson in the first place. He can't play anymore, and it's a constant circus. Now you have players like Karlos Dansby criticizing the team for cutting him. He's not worth he trouble, but Miami made this bed by bringing him in to begin with.

Looks like Joe Philbin is bringing over the no-tolerance-for-nonsense mentality from the Packers organization. Guys that have off the field issues (i.e. Johnny Jolly) are always immediately sent packing out there. Chad Johnson, even if he could still be a quality WR, is nothing but a distraction both on and off the field, and that causes issues that Philbin surely has no interest in dealing with.

 

[bucky]

Chad cut, not making any money. I expect a quick divorce. My prediction, Chad's marriage will be shorter than Kim Kardasahin's.

Chad was an idiot for marrying this lunatic in the first place. But what would you expect, since Chad's an idiot.

Chad's pretty much washed up. Why would a team want a washed up distraction?

2 things:

-pun intended?

-This is the exact reason they got rid of Marshall.

and Karlos Dansby, STFU, you aren't even practicing, you're standing on the sideline in shorts.

if its a publicity stunt, it seems to have failed in a big way for both of them

VH1
We're PULLING Chad
Johnson's Reality Show

Chad Johnson just lost another job ... VH1 tells TMZ the network is cancelling plans to air Chad's upcoming reality show in the wake of his domestic violence arrest.

The series, titled "Ev and Ocho" is already in the can and was supposed to debut on Sept. 3.

But now, after Chad was arrested for allegedly headbutting his wife Evelyn Lozada ... VH1 tells us:

"Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series 'Ev and Ocho' from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it."

The show was a spinoff of "Basketball Wives" ... which followed the couple's relationship from dating to engagement. The new show was supposed to focus on "the journey of this charismatic and passionate couple's every step, as they prepare to walk down the aisle and into each other's hearts forever."

PR stunt from the Dolphins? that makes zero sense.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think dave is saying the Dolphins signed Johnson for publicity, ie getting on Hard Knocks, etc.

 

[Maynard]

i thought nobody wanted hard knox and the dolphins were like...ok we will do it. at first i thought daves comments were retarded, but then i remembered this is the dolphins who get no support and thought...yeah, dave is retarded

 

[RosettaStoned]

I like Chad, I think he's funny, and I think he can play. I hope he gets signed and has a big year.

 

[BigBucs]

Carlos Dansby didnt like the fact they didnt stick by Chad, Here is the audio interview. I agree %100 with what he is saying.

CHAD JOHNSON 911 CALL
'He Hit Her on the Head'
Don't Tell the Media!!!

Chad Johnson's wife Evelyn Lozada had a bleeding gash on her forehead when she ran to her neighbor for help this weekend ... this according to the neighbor -- who begged 911 dispatch to keep the whole situation hush-hush.

As we first reported, Evelyn fled to her neighbor's house following a domestic dispute with Chad Saturday night, during which the NFL star allegedly head-butted her in the forehead.

The neighbor called 911 -- telling the dispatcher, Chad "hit her on the head ... She has a nice cut on the forehead that I believe is going to need stitches."

But the neighbor wasn't just worried about Evelyn's cut, he was also freaking out about an inevitable media firestorm surrounding the domestic dispute ... telling the dispatcher, Chad is a "very high-profile person and we'd like to keep this as quiet as possible."

He pleaded, "We don't need the news here."

So much for that.
