Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson — so full of love and kissing his coach and quarterback just a few short weeks ago — has been deactivated for tonight’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers for breaking an “unspecified” team rule. Well, let’s specify. Apparently, during a team meeting last night, Chad was a little sleepy and was slumped down in his chair like a college freshman who had been out too late the night before. Bengals offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski told him to sit up. Chad kept refusing until finally he just got up and left. Head coach Marvin Lewis went after him, the two exchanged heated words, and coach told Chad to go home.
Chad’s behavior is asinine. On one hand, as I’ve said many times before, he’s supremely talented on the football field (even so, he thinks he’s better than he really is). But he’s also the epitome of an NFL diva. He’s a crybaby. He’s immature. And the Bengals would be a lot better off without him.
