Bengals' Johnson planning new celebration

[Hoosier_Vol]

CINCINNATI -- Chad Johnson is dreaming of a whitetail Christmas.

The Bengals receiver suggested Tuesday that he has a special touchdown celebration planned for Cincinnati's game on Christmas Eve, one that will top his Riverdance, his end zone putt and his sideline proposal from earlier this season.

A surrogate reindeer, perhaps?

"On the highway, I hit a deer," Johnson said Tuesday, insisting he was serious and that the animal wasn't hurt. "I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the celebration this weekend. He's a prop. They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it."

Even if Johnson is serious -- and, with him, there's no telling -- coach Marvin Lewis would certainly put his foot down. So Johnson's scheme may never get beyond the talking stage.

He wasn't joking about his desire to come up with a celebration that will keep fans talking long after the Bengals' last regular-season home game.

Fans in Detroit booed when he merely handed the ball to an official following his touchdown during a 41-17 victory Sunday that clinched the AFC North title. It was only the second time this season that he didn't celebrate a touchdown -- the other came when the officials needed time to decide if he had scored, spoiling the moment.

"But this Saturday, I'll be back to my old self," he said. "You can look forward to the celebration being part of something that has to do with Christmas. It's going to be fun. I might get in trouble, so I might as well let that out now. I might get in trouble for what I'm going to do, but it's worth it."

Johnson was excited by the thought of getting a deer into the end zone routine. His Riverdance brought him national attention as a hoofer. Now, he's fixated on hooves.

"This is going to be the greatest celebration of all time, man," he said. "I actually use an animal."

Agreed...Chad makes the game fun to watch wether your a Bengals fan or not.....bringing a deer onto the field would be the greatest endzone celebration of all-time!

it would be good.

but i i have to say that T.O. celebrating in the star at dallas was the best. period.

CBC won't like this . . . but I see Chad Johnson as the funnier, more reality based version of TO.

Chad Johnson rules.

While the Dallas Star was good, my personal favorite TD dance by TO was mocking Ray Lewis' dance... in Baltimore.

I personaly thought TO's Dallas star one was a little uncalled for myself.

actually i agree ga.

chad did still all his ideas from T.O. though.


T.O. started this phenomenon.

Just my opinion but TO seems to do it to bring attention to himself....Chad's are more for entertaining the fans

The first time he did it, I thought it was classless but chuckled slightly. The second time he did it, I wanted somebody to break him in half.

Nice to see Pac Man improving steadily every game during the season.

Hopefully he won't kill anyone in the offseason.

We don't have to handle TO . . . Andy Reid already did. :D

I can see where some people might love the guy . . . but personally, I think he's just a good receiver with an emotional problem and a bad agent.
