One story that I haven't heard being covered on TV is the altercation that occured during the halftime of the Steelers-Bengals game. According to ProFootballTalk.com, Chad Johnson had words with Marvin Lewis and Bengals WRs Coach, Hue Jackson and then the incident turned physical with Johnson putting Jackson in a headlock and taking a swing at Lewis. If you look through the page at ProFootballTalk.com, you will see that the story is being backed up by more and more sources. Chad is starting to act like a real Turd Orifice. I'm afraid I saw this one coming. Here is a link to a story where Boomer Esiason talks about the incident. I should add that Jay Glaiser has also backed up ProFootballTalk's reporting of the incident. I don't believe all of these people are lying as Chad Johnson would have you believe. Underneath the link is the report ofr ProFootballTalk. http://pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review...e/s_412642.html CHAD TOOK SWING AT MARVIN A league source tells us that multiple members of the Cincinnati Bengals witnessed a troubling incident as the team prepared to take the field for the second half of Sunday's playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Per the source, the last few minutes of intermission were ticking away, when the players were startled by the sight and sound of a helmet slamming against the glass pane of the training room door. Inside, receiver Chad Johnson and receivers coach Hue Jackson were engaged in an altercation. At one point, Johnson was seen holding Jackson in a headlock. Coach Marvin Lewis entered the training room to intervene, and Johnson (per the source) took a swing at him. Eventually, receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh broke up the skirmish, within a minute or so of the team exiting the locker room for the second half. On Monday, several members of the team pointed to the Johnson-Jackson-Lewis incident as the catalyst for the loss of a 17-14 halftime lead and, ultimately, a 31-17 defeat. Word is that Johnson was unhappy with the lack of balls thrown to him in the first half. A total of three passes came his way, with two completions. In the second half, another three passes were thrown to Johnson, with only two more completions. For the game, Johnson had four catches for 59 yards. The incident could have an even more lasting impact on the team than quarterback Carson Palmer's torn ACL and MCL. Some players, we're told, don't want to see Johnson back next year, and there's a belief that the team will be less inclined to give in to Johnson's request for a hefty restructuring of a contract that expires after the 2009 season. So the Chad Johnson saga very well could evolve into the 2006 version of the Terrell Owens fiasco. If so, it's very bad news for a franchise that otherwise looked to have a very bright future.
I demand a recount!! TO should be the diva of the year. If this did happen I'm surprised that Chad Johnson played the second half. As a head coach I would have told him that he's not come out of the locker room for the second half.

Turd Orifice is it, however since Turd isn't playing right now, the spotlight demands a new diva and that is Chad Johnson.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (blackadder)</div><div class='quotemain'>Steve Smith should get a few votes.</div> Steve Smith has done nothin to hurt his team like Chad Johnson and TO. When he got ejected for the dallas game he apoligzed to the team and John Fox
I for one think it's BS, I mean if he swung at Marvin there is no way he'd have been on the field in the 2nd half. Marvin doesn't take BS like that I mean Rudi was late for a meeting and he missed the first half of a game for it!
Here is an article in which Marvin as the title states Sets the Record Straight http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art.../601150335/1066
