<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>CINCINNATI (AP) -- Chad Johnson's trash talk won't work on his next opponent.As part of a charity promotion, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver has agreed to race a horse at a track next weekend. He's not running against Mr. Ed, so his gift for in-your-face gab won't help."I'm looking forward to it," Johnson said Friday, after the first day of minicamp. "It's going to be fun. Some of the things I'm going to be doing this year are crazy, and racing a horse is one of them."</div>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/foot...s.ap/index.htmlHaha. I wonder what other crazy things he has in store for us this year ..
Ehh, It's kinda stupid an idea. No way he is going to be able to keep up with a horse. I will give him credit for using his name as an opportunity to raise money for a Good Cause though.

I think I read somewhere that he'll run 110 yards and the horse wil run 220, but either way it should be really funny to watch.
And Ocho Cinco wins.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>CINCINNATI (AP) -- Chad Johnson got a head start without having to jump offside, and beat his coverage to the goal line again.The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver was waiting at the finish line when Restore the Roar arrived at the end of his one-eighth-mile gallop. That's right: Johnson raced a horse Saturday and easily won. Johnson was spotted a 100-meter lead -- roughly about half the distance the horse had to cover in the race for charity. And when it was over, Johnson, as usual, was anything but humble. He sounded ready to take on boxing, basketball and NASCAR."Floyd Mayweather, you're next," Johnson said. "I want to fight you. I'd like to take Kobe and LeBron one-on-one. Jeff Gordon, we can take a couple laps. ... Now it's my time to take over the race world."The 4-year-old colt's jockey, P.J. Cooksey, rode a horse that beat former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth in 1993. She sounded more impressed with Johnson's speed."He's quick," Cooksey said. "He's a fast man. That was phenomenal. When I looked over at him, all I could see were his legs; they looked like a windmill. He was a blur. I was beat bad."</div>The thing is by the time Chad finished, the horse was just getting into full stride. But still hilarious.
He has some crazy stuff for us planned, I can't actually wait to see him challenging Mayweather or Kobe. That's gonna be fun.
Well, he only raced half the distance the horse did, wasn't exactly a fair race. But still, at least it's going to charity.
