BengalszoneBilly Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 A fun little time waster!Who Covered 85? You Decide.Monday September 10, 5:51 pm ET CINCINNATI, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Football superstar Chad Johnson is known for taking risks. This season he'll take another one by letting fans decide which way he checks his celebrated cornerback checklist. As part of a new interactive campaign powered by Degree Men, fans will have unprecedented access to "85," including the new fan-driven cornerback checklist, as well as personalized trash-talk messages, behind-the-scenes videos and interactive TV. CHECKLIST FOR CHARITYJohnson's cornerback checklist has received much fanfare in the last two seasons. This season, Johnson is taking a risk by letting fans decide which way he checks his checklist after each of his 16 regular season games. To give fans an extra incentive to vote each week, Degree Men is making an 8.5 cent donation to Feed the Children, an international non-profit hunger relief organization, for each vote made online at TrashTalk85.com. Johnson hopes to raise $85,000 for Feed the Children this season through the checklist."My checklist has always given me extra motivation," said Johnson. "But the opportunity to help needy kids around the world increases my drive. I had the unique opportunity to tour Kenya in the spring and it really opened my eyes. I hope the fans will get behind the checklist this season because Degree Men has made it so simple to help these kids."TALK TRASH WITH YOUR FRIENDS ...

DesperateDerelict Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Did anyone see Rod Woodson's interview with Ray-Ray? (Link: Lewis Unplugged ) They have an isolated camera on Ocho Cinco cutting across the middle and getting flattened by Ray Lewis, followed by CJ's explanation to an assistant coach on what happened - hysterical !!! NOTE: Repeated in other topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
