Chad Johnson thanks Donovan McNabb

In today's Daily News Chad Johnson talked about how Donovan McNabb helped counsel him through his tough offseason.
"Donovan is one of the people that I confided in during the offseason when things weren't going well for me," said Johnson, who has 37 catches for 349 yards this season for the 1-8 Bengals. "I just wanted the input of a veteran who understands the things that are going on. At that time, with me being frustrated by losing, I looked at some of the people that were close to me, like Donovan and Ray Lewis and Deion Sanders - and Donovan was a big influence, and is really one of the reasons why I really turned myself around and looked at my situation in more of a positive outlook.
"Just thinking about all of the people that would love to play this game, and he took me in that direction instead of thinking about, 'I'm tired of losing and I don't want to be here anymore.' Just thinking about, 'Man, a lot of people wish they were in your shoes, just to have the ability to play in the NFL.' And that kind of turned it around, and that's why I've been as positive as I have been this year. And even though we're losing, man, I've just been plugging away."
Asked whether Chad would be interested in joining McNabb with the Eagles..
"The fans in Philly are the real deal," Johnson said. "That'd be a real joy to be able to give them a treat."

i can see philly fans probably hating mcnabb for this
in many’s eyes, this is further proof that McNabb is a company man and willing to just “play for the love” and “brotherhood” and smiling, blah blah…
this is why Philly hates you McNabb.
they just don’t think you want the Super Bowl as bad as they do.
and that makes them sick.
how dare you give good advice and take the high road all the time.
it makes them sick. just ask WIP.

Dear Chad,
I’m happy Donovan was able to talk you into not being a total and complete douchetard this offseason. Good for you. However, regarding the “treat” you would like to give us… You can kindly cram that treat up your ass… No. Fucking. Thank You.
Best of Luck!

He also said...
…he wanted to kiss the star in Dallas. It seems like he’d just prefer to be anywhere in the world other than Cincinnati.

ANd he posed for a picture with his name on a REdskins jersey…
I think you’re right. He’d like to be anywhere.

If ocho cinco loves donovan so much and donovan just likes to play and not win then I think the perfect solution would be for us to send donovan to cincinnati where they can love each other and lose together all they want…maybe cincinnati would like a qb that smiles when they lose because I’m sure as hell sick of it…

Whatever Donovan McNabb does is wrong.
If he’s too happy, he doesn’t care about winning.
If he’s too sad, he’s sulking.
Personally, I don’t like seeing him smiling and laughing after a 3 and out, or jokin’ around with his buddies on the other team’s best pal after a loss (and everyone in football does that), but I don’t have a problem with him telling Ocho Cinco, in teh offseason, “Hey Chad, don’t be such a dick.”
I’m sure we’ll learn to crap on Kevin Kolb for every aspect of his body language, too.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

Maybe the dude is just misunderstood. And hey, if we get any diva wide receiva, might as well be a dude that has a mancrush on our QB. Not saying it’s likely to happen or I want it to, but I don’t think if they made a move for him after the season it’d be the worst thing in the world. He’s a headcase but he’s still a helluva WR.

you guys are taking his advice to chad way out of context … the fact that donavan can smile after losing doesnt exactly tickle your fancy but by no means does that make me feel like he doesnt give his all … and thats simply ridiculous to believe that … i do recall reports of him throwing up after some games …. i just recently up chucked after a 2 1/2 hour weight room session … it was the hardest session i had ever put myself through … stuff like that shows me mcnabb gives a shit about this team and city … mcnabb loves this team and to be able to carry this dreaded curse of a team short of the Lombardi every year and still smile is amazing … do you have any fkin clue how depressing that has to be ? i mean seriously … have any of you ever played sports in your life and came so close to winning a game or playoffs and didnt make it … that shit hurts and sticks with you … i applaud him for being able to bounce back and move on like it never happened … i dont think mcnabb would be as good as he is if he didnt have that ability …

FIRST OFF
if we were lucky enough to get chad johnson…and he scored a touchdown in his first game with us….the city of Philadelphia would LOVE him.
Secondly,
I have no problem with chad johnson. He loves the game and he loves to win….Would you want to be in weak ass Cincinatti with bad weather no coast and no fans, and no general manager. NO…so stop..Chad is a lil uneducated but he has good intentions and alot of talent.
Thirdly…this sire lovvvves hating on Donovan Mcnabb who has carried this horrible offense since the late 90’s.
He has never been given any talent to work with and when he finally did we went to the superbowl and lost bc Patriots cheat and our D gave up alott of points and first downs.
Plus hes a well spoken man and has always been good to the fans
Reid is bad we should steal spagnola…off topic…i agree but true
sorry

BUNCH OF IDIOTS
Haha Foos, you cant even spell it correctly.
But anyway, the truth is McNabb has been playing with the worst supporting cast for last 10 years, give or take a couple. Except Westbrook and maybe Jackson, we dont have a potential Pro-bowler on our O. I am tired of people bashing McNabb for petty issues like these.
Phinally!!!

I’m not the one who spelled it wrong… the OP did and normally when you quote someone who spelled something wrong, you don’t correct it for them. It kind of defeats the purpose…

and by “petty issues” I guess you mean the fact that he looks as if he could give a shit less when we get our asses handed to us… or how about his apparent inability to throw the ball so it doesn’t hit a WR’s feet or end up 5 yards short for his first 10 attempts…
as far as this…
Except Westbrook and maybe Jackson, we dont have a potential Pro-bowler on our O
So let’s add up the typical skill positions on a starting offense (besides the qb)… 2 WRs + 1 RB + 1 TE = 4. So by you admitance, we have 2 potential Pro-Bowlers out of 4 starting skill positions. Please list all of the teams that have 3 or more potential Pro-Bowlers between these 4 slots in their offense; since your arguement is that 2 is clearly not enough… I can list one… Dallas…

I didn’t correct you coz i don’t care to correct you. I assumed you’re not a 5th grader and you do know the spelling. Moreover, that was meant to be in a lighter vein. So chill.
Dude, don’t try to put words in my mouth. Well you know which petty issues i was talking about. I thought you read column before making comments.
Plus I never muttered the words “skill position”.

Ocho & Ocho Cinco
Back when Cinco had a #1 receiver (Ocho Idiot) we went to the Super Bowl. When he left he took the “High Powered” out of our beloved Birds offense. McNabb needs a few things but the priority is a legit #1 wide receiver not a bunch of fun loving 5’ 10" guys dropping balls. I would welcome a trade for Ocho Cinco and send Reggie Brown to Cincy with Considine and send Greg Lewis to the weight room then out to get us some serious Chinese Food for lunch.

honestly at this point i'm not sure a #1 receiver would fix the slow starts
thats the real problem here
Billy Penn who?
