- If not for the threat of violence, Chad Johnson's behavior following Thursday's Pro Bowl practice was perversely comical.
Moments after agent Drew Rosenhaus told me that Johnson was trying to resolve his problems with Cincinnati management "behind the scenes," the Bengals wide receiver ripped into the team again in an NFL Network interview.
When finished, "Ocho Cinco" would say nada to every non-NFL owned news outlet. That made independent media members — those who Johnson should have wanted in his corner — much less sympathetic to his plight.
It gets better.
Before leaving, Johnson was stopped by a member of the league's media relations department (Michael Lipman) for me and another reporter. I asked Johnson whether he was having a better off-season after venting some of his frustration publicly at the Super Bowl.
Johnson walked off without answering the question. Lipman tried speaking with him again, only to get shoved. The much-bigger Johnson then stared down Lipman before stepping onto a jitney headed toward the players' hotel.
Unprofessional behavior? Absolutely.
But at this point, you wouldn't expect anything else.
Chad shouldnt have shoved the guy if he did,but what a whiny reporter.
The way it went down I assume the NFL media person told him what he was going to ask him about,then when he gets there he gets hit on a subject he didnt want to talk about,so he leaves.The guy goes back and tries talking to him and he shoves him away.
Then the jilted reporter writes this.
