[edit] Chad's riddle

Is the "Chad's riddle" section NPOV? i think not--Alhutch 20:48, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Celebrations

Since there's a section devoted to the riverdance jig thing why not expand it to include all of his more famous celebrations? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bvde (talk • contribs).

One thing for certain is that it is unreadable.

[edit] Coach Lewis' List

I don't think this should be featured in the beginning of the article as a summary of the person. Maybe lower in the article. Perry 22:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Justification for purging

Need I justify my actions? ;) The article was tagged for Clean Up for its grotesque presentation and unilateral juxtaposition of random facts.  ;) If one feels the facts pertaining to Johnson's flamboyant actions over his career should really belong in the article; consider re-polishing it and re-adding each entry in bullet point format. Personally, Show-Boating part of the article makes the article seem like it's from a fansite - as opposed to a Wikipedia Entry.

Oh Yes, the Quotes section of the article should be moved to WikiQuote --ShadowJester07 01:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree with moving the quotes to WikiQuote. And I agree that much of the stuff was certainly editable, but I don't think we should delete almost all of what is there until it is in the ideal format of a Wikipedia page. Perhaps leave what is there and slowly transmute it to what it should look like and add cite requests where applicable. VegaDark 02:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed the trivia section for a reason. It is frowned upon for featured articles to have. While this obviously isn't a featured article, that is the ultimate goal for all articles and it should be removed again and the info should be added to the body of the article as I had originally done. Also, you removed the following without explanation: "Having been named to four consecutive Pro Bowls, Chad is widely considered to be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL." This is not opinion, this is fact. Being named to the most recent Pro Bowl, let alone the last 4, inherently means you are widely considered to be one the best wide receivers in the NFL. VegaDark 21:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Randy Moss was named to five Pro Bowls ;-) I give him Kudos for the biggest disappearing act in NFL history during '05 Season. Nathan Vasher recorded a plethora interceptions, complimented by a stellar defensive performance during his '04 season, because of his teammates' horrific. Pro Bowl appearances are just a matter of popularity and razzle dazzel. However, the fact that he has lead the AFC in Rec. Yards for the past three years is something. While adding the sentence might lead to a whole pandora's box of latter controversy, let's just leave it out until he retires. :-p --ShadowJester07 01:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

We need to add a picture of chad to the article. DvdBengals 18:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Good Luck finding a fair use image. --ShadowJester07 22:21, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relation to Samari Rolle

According to other pages, it's Keyshawn Johnson that is cousin to Samari Rolle, not Chad Johnson. Anyone have verification? TheGoogler 02:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC) Keyshawn and Chad Johnson ARE cousins, and Keyshawn Johnson IS Samari Rolle's cousin. They're all cousins. http://www.bengals.com/team/player.asp?player_id=8 that's official, on the Bengals website. I'm so proud of myself for checking a fact.--DavidFuzznut 12:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC) I noticed it said this was incorrectly stated on the Bengals media guide just now, so here is an article with quotes from both of them that should confirm their relationship http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/newssun/sports/102846,5_2_WA19_NFLBRIEFS_S1.article--DavidFuzznut 12:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

On Samari Rolle's page it says they're both Samari's cousins. Quadzilla99 03:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cousins..

In the game the bengals played against carolina, Keyshawn said that they weren't really cousins. He said that everybody was thinking they were cousins because of their last names, so they just went with it.

Agreed, that would require a firm factual basis to make inclusion in this article, removing until someone gets a source. (and that will be a while).

someone should remove the "chad Johnson is the shit yaaaaaa" from the main part. I don't seem to know how. 139.142.48.152 04:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

They're second cousins I'm pretty sure Keyshawn is Samari Rolle's cousin. Incidentally showing Chad handling a firearm isn't going to help the Bengals image lol. Quadzilla99 20:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citing Sources?

Where's the proof that Chad "it is well known that he calls his girlfriend between quarters?" Website? ESPN? Specter01010 03:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It's likely a falsehood. --ShadowJester07 03:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
