Drew and Chad are now Begging like Weasels. This is GREAT!

Chris Henry begged -- or is it bugged -- the judge during an April 22 hearing to allow him more "freedom" while waiting a trial on assault charges. Another hearing is scheduled for May 6. Not that it really matters since he's not a Bengals player anymore -- oh, how nice am I? (note: this is how bad Cincinnati.com's search engine is. I did a search on Chris Henry and it came back without any results)
Chad Johnson is, well, if you read this blog, you're well up to date on that. Wait, today is Friday. You're NOT up to date. Well, let's remedy that, shall we?
First, this excerpt on Lance's blog.
"It's too late to salvage this. People just don't understand how bad it has gotten. Last year, in a team meeting before a game...coaches asked if anyone had a problem with Chad. Carson Palmer stood up and said, "yea, I have a problem with him". Chad and Carson began arguing. Chad was screaming at Carson in the middle of the room"
This isn't the first time we've heard this. Even T.J. Houshmandzadeh's name has been dragged into it. Remember this story?
A league source tells us that there is growing animosity in the Bengals locker room toward receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Per the source, both are yelling "all the time" at quarterback Carson Palmer, but coach Marvin Lewis doesn't say or do anything about it. Players are also upset that the two receivers are trying to "run the team."
The situation reminds us of the latter days of the Denny Green era in Minnesota, where receivers Cris Carter and Randy Moss were berating quarterback Daunte Culpepper and operating under a separate set of rules.
We should admit, we're not sure if the Glazier comment is about the same thing. It might be, it might not be. But from that December, 2007, post, it would appear that Lewis was already in a downfall of "losing the locker room". However, for his part, Marvin Lewis has won back the locker room -- which he apparently lost because of Chad Johnson anyway. I love full circle stories, don't you?
Now Oil Slick is pleading like a weasel amongst tigers.
Is this Chad's version of "next question"? If so, we're disappointed. We expected so much more than this. Oil Slick pleads that the Bengals have a "king's ransom" with two first round picks that have been reported in the media -- which isn't true. The Bengals were offered one first-round pick in 2008 and a conditional 2009 third-round pick that could have upgraded to a first. As our boy Beerrun says, give me two first round picks for 2008 and 2009, then we'll talk.
"Bengals, if you're listening to me, please trade Chad."
Oil Slick is begging, man. He's BEGGING. On your knees, boy. I guess he's feeling the pressure of having a huge chunk of, at least, $21 million of Chad's guaranteed money -- to start -- is weighing him down. We all know that Mike Brown and company are making a point here. One that's becoming supported, not only from Bengals fans (who'd also be just as happy waving goodbye), but even NFL fans are getting a thrill watching Oil Slick beg and Chad squirm. No, keeping Chad doesn't doesn't help this team. Not one bit. Still, if the team sticks to their guns, watching this episode will keep high entertainment value -- provided Oil Slick begs and Chad squirms. That stuff right there just makes my day.

Finally!
You’re getting into the spirit of things! The whole Chad show is the best reality/comedy bit on TV and the internet right now. And if the Bengals don’t move Chad tomorrow, it’s likely to get even funnier. Myself, I’m looking forward to Chad - after incurring more than $1 million in fines, lost pay and signing bonus he has to pay back by skipping camp - slinking back to the team just before opening day. I would love to be a fly on the wall during his first locker room appearance.

Oh, I’m sure you will be. The press will be unavoidable if Chad comes back.

Somebody really ought to kneecap Rosenhous- is Shawn Gilooly still available? I still think the idea that’s been discussed here- shedding caproom by cutting, oh, Chris Perry, John Thornton to erase Chad’s potential cap hit, is a workable one. While it would be funnier to trade him somewhere like the mid-80s era Nebraska Cornhuskers- the equivalent of a round room as punishment for a guy who pees in corners, Washington or Philadelphia, or whoever comes up with the ducats, is fine with me. He needs to be gone, Daddy, gone, not let the doorknob hit him, etc., etc., etc.
P.S.- does anybody else here think that the default avatar here looks like a young Barack Obama?

Let him sit
If Chad wants to be in the HOF 20?? he isn’t going to do it by sitting out until 2011. The Bengals know this and are calling his bluff. He is trying to make the Bengals look like a laughing stock, but I think it is only backfiring. I admit, I was surprised at how much the Redskins were willing to pony up for him—but I say let him sit.
If Chad likes drama, lets watch him not play football for three years and see how much drama there is when he is 33 and a has been.

HOF 20Never
1) Let him sit and fine the heck out of him! I’m sick of these punks thinking they control everything. Let the fines start accumulating and let’s have Carson pass – pass – pass to Glenn Holt while Chad watches! When he comes back, maybe some more passes to draft pick (presumeably round 2) while Chad runs routes for nothing!
2) Let’s stop drafting Drew Rosenhous players! Maybe more will catch on and he will be a liability. This guy is a punk who thinks he rules the league.
Go Marvin. Take control. Time to end these chirades! Now, WHO DEY!
