He reminds me too much of Mr. ED. A jerk is a jerk is a jerk.

His orange chinstrap is a ticking time bomb?
Perhaps it's the clock counting down to the next great screw up by the talented but troublesome WR.

Next great screw up?
Mind telling us when his first great screw up was? This is one of the most gifted and productive receivers in today's NFL whose only troubles come via endzone dances, hardly a matter to condemn the man for. It was a chinstrap, who cares?
Sorry Danny, I guess we see the game of football a bit different, perhaps there is an age difference going on. IMO football is a team sport and any time any player does something that hurts his team then he has shown that his team is not as important to him as his own over blown ego. Penalties hurt his team members. I agree that he is or at least was a great receiver but his antics irk the hail out of me. Lets both hope that this year he can make the headlines for something other than his glory seeking BS.

Perhaps you're right, perhaps the age difference does play into the way we view the game of football, granted I have no idea how old you are but I would venture to guess that my 24 years are younger than yours.
Here's the way I see it...Chad getting fined for wearing an orange chin strap does not effect his team in any way, shape or form. In fact it is ridiculous that this is even a topic of discussion as when Mr. Tom Brady was fined in 2007 for not having his chin strap properly buckled (which could have wound up hurting him) hardly a word was mentioned.
But that's not really what we're talking about here, is it? We're now discussing those penalties that are effecting his team, the endzone celebrations and what not. Let me ask you this, how is number 85 doing an interpretation of the River Dance any different from Bret Favre running up and down the field jumping around like Tom Cruise on Oprah's couch any different? Both are showboating, yet only one is getting fined. Sort of a double standard, don't you think?
I think the difference between the way that you and I view football (and please note that I did put I think there as I cannot be truly sure of your opinion until it is well stated) is that you are irked by celebrations that hurt no one and I am irked by cheap shots and dirty tackles that can in fact lead to injury. This should be our biggest concern, this should be what we and the media are talking about, not someone dancing after scoring or wearing an orange chin strap (which, by the way, matched the helmet perfectly).

Excellent points.
My ONLY issue with Chad was him whining about wanting traded and not having a good contract. My issue there was the Bengals redid his contract twice....each time making him one of the higher paid Wrs. So now he isn't in the top five...and he whines. THAT is my issue with chad. Last year was an outlier for me. He didn't train like he knew he should...then got hurt. This year he is in shape, been in camp working hard...and Palmer is healthy...sort of. He could have a boom year.

No Freakin Way. This choreographed "LOOK AT ME" shit belongs on dancing with the stars. Not on a football field. Make up your mind whether you want to be on a football field or on Dancing With the Stars
Dancing with the stars, elementary school, or well you get the point. Any planned celebration that you know darn well will cost your team is punk mentallity, glory seeking, look at me BS! He gets paid millions to play football to the best of his ability and to follow the rules. He refuses to follow the rules and IMO his best years are behind him. His one man show has worn it self out with me. He's like a record skipping, SOS...over and over. (Do you remember records?)
Oh yeah, speaking of that age thing, we rode horses to school, on occasion at least, back when I was in high school. The milk truck still came around the neighborhood each morning when I was in grade school. Yep, I've got a couple two or three years on ya, LOL. Have a great day!
LOL, okay Nicholete I'll go feed the chickens and crow with the rooster for a while. :biglaugh:

So Santonio Holmes planned celebration after his SB winning TD shows a punk mentality then too right?? It used the ball as a prop and was pre-planned......sounds the same.....what about Steve Smith's??? or is this just Chad you want to single out???
