Bengals1 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Lewis: No trade By GEOFF HOBSONJanuary 16, 200811:45 a.m. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said Wednesday in the Mike Zimmer news conference there will be no trade of Chad Johnson despite the wide receiver's plea during last week's ESPN interview. Lewis also disagreed with Johnson's assertion no one in the organization had his back. "I can't control that, that doesn't mean anything to me right now," said Lewis, when asked if he think Johnson will be amenable. "He's a special player and he's a Cincinnati Bengal for quite awhle." Lewis also made note of quarterback Carson Palmer's comments that coaches need to change if the Bengals are to lose the staleness Lewis says has hit the team. "He kind of let it go,' said Lewis, who said the offensive side of the ball needs to be worked on as well as the defense. He said the hiring of former wide receivers coach Hue Jackson is currently not a possibility or imminent, probably because no offensive coach has left. A published report says quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese has interviewed for the Rams offensive coordinator job. Lewis said the Bengals, for now, are sticking to a 4-3 defense.

bengalsfan17 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yeah i figured they wouldnt try to trade him...the bengals never so what they should do....they should have gotten rid of their offensive coordinator...they should trade chad and get rid of henry but who wants players on the bengals that believe in Team...i guess not marvin...this is a joke and the bengals have a long way to go....so you told us so.....but you and the bengals pretty much told us that we are all about getting paid and individual performances rather than being able to beat the patriots, the ultimate Team and win a super bowl..

Signing bonus money is not tradable so to speak, so whatever he has coming to him bonus-wise in his current contract is due en-masse so to speak if he's traded.SoP was never going to take a monetary hit like that just to get rid of him, no matter what kind of cancer the other players and coaches perceive him to be.

I have lots of pics of us. I was serious, except for the imaginary part, that was a joke. I love your sigs, I'd like to have one... It doesn't have to be of your wifey, but the same concept. I like brunettes! The reptile look is actually just a layer or "filter" that I created one day on an experimentation with ps. I really don't have a clue what I'm doing with graphics but at least I have several "wallpapers" on the Bengals website which have hundreds or even thousands of downloads from my understanding. I even seen one of my bengals cheerleader graphics on LIVE television... Not bad for a dude with a pc and free copy of ps. That's better than some graphic designers can say.

I signed a contract with the military basically where people are trying to kill me for a year and half and I did not have a problem honoring that contract so he should not have a problem honoring his.

HairOnFire Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks for that Marv, hopefully we (zoners) can put to rest the INSANITY trade talk! I stopped pimping a trade the moment Mike Brown said it wasn't going to happen. That said, I imagine the trade talk will stop only when Chad stops being an asshat....something he shows no signs of doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icehole3 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 On Cunningham's show today they had the lawyer who represents the people Chad hosed at the comedy club, he says this year's training camp will be a circus because thats when the trial will start. Chad had a chance to settle out of court for 50 Gs but now its going to be over a million once the trial is over and the girl he gave the car to has split up with Chad. Get ready for the circus to continue this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ready for the circus to continue this summer.50Gs for being disappointed that the raffle you entered was a fraud? Sounds pretty generous to me. Remember that was the plaintiff's lawyer you were hearing. Cases get settled before trial all the time. There is another perspective to that story. Just like Marvin and Mike both saying Chad's going nowhere. There's another perspective to that story, and his name is Drew Rosenhaus. That guy is a svengali at getting his players to sit out, complain, do all sorts of stuff to get a new deal or a trade. And the worst thing the Bengals could do right now is proclaim they want to move Chad. His value would drop immediately if other teams knew we wanted to get rid of him. I'm not saying they want to trade Chad, although I believe Marvin would love to see him gone, but the way they are acting now is how they would act regardless whether their intent were to trade him or keep him.

That's better than some graphic designers can say.I appreciate your skill with a PC, I have no talent in that area myself and other than being the lucky guy that married her I have no claim to the sig pics. They're the work of a friend of mine who's a graphic artist. He wanted to branch out several years ago to the pin-up field and he knew my wife wanted to be an actress so he asked to use her as a model for his new portfolio so he could show potential clients that he could liknesses.I told him only if he did something I could use as a sig pic and the rest is history. Here's an older swimsuite shot of her I took out in front of the apartment building we used to live in:And here's a recent shot of her I took while we were on vacation last summer:Now let's get this thead back on track, shall we?
