Chad Johnson. Headcase.

Earlier today on the Josh Pacheco Show, we talked about Chad Johnson and how he said he will be coming back to Bengals training camp to be with the team and work out. After I got off the air, Chad spoke on his satellite radio show (another reason why satellite radio sucks, people who don't know how to do radio end up being on "radio") and said he still wants to be traded away from Cincinnati.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

Chad knows what he is doing, though. He's trying to maximize his monetary value. If he doesn't report to Cincinnati, we know they aren't going to trade him, but not playing this year means his value decreases. Being there shows he is going to play, look out for himself, pad his stats, and look for another team next year with his value intact.

It is unfortunate that we look at a player like Johnson and see an act like his in a negative light. Before, someone going to camp meant a reconciliatory gesture. NOW, it means an act of posturing.
