ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 You don't hear of TO doing little stuff like this on a whim with strangers/fans:Chick Ludwig, Dayton Daily NewsYes, it will be a very Merry Christmas for Dylan Izor, thanks to his new best friend — Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson. Izor, 5, of New Lebanon, met his hero during Johnson's autograph signing at Cardboard Heroes at the Dayton Mall on Monday night."He gave me a dollar and told me, 'Merry Christmas,' " Johnson said on Wednesday during the Bengals' open locker-room period at Paul Brown Stadium. "So I gave him something in return and told him, 'Merry Christmas' back."Johnson accepted Izor's $1 bill. In exchange, Johnson handed the youngster a "Ben Franklin" — a $100 bill."It made my son so happy," said Justin Izor, Dylan's father. "He loves the Bengals. His first hero is Chad Johnson."The Izors waited in line during the autograph session, then Dylan approached Johnson on his own. The two got some one-on-time together."All of a sudden, Dylan comes running back, yelling and screaming, 'Chad's my best friend! Chad's my best friend!' " Justin said.The $100 bill is housed in a frame that features an autographed photo of Johnson shaking hands with Dylan."It's $100 he's never going to spend," Justin said. "Dylan has calmed down, but I haven't. I'm still shaking. The whole night was a dream come true." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith288 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 TO would have taken the $1 and then left the kid to use it at a nudie bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 TO would have taken the $1 and then left the kid to use it at a nudie bar.Come on now, I get TO! He wouldn't have taken the $1 from that kid man. TO isn't that kind of guy so don't make it sound like he'd just bag the buck for a nudie bar. TO would never respond in that way.TO would have gone to the media and shown that dollar to everyone saying his team, his quarterback, the league, the child, and the media disrespected him. That kid should have given him a million dollars. After all, TO has to be able to put food on the table. The kid wouldn't have been invited to TOs Xmas party either.

bengalindian Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Another reason that Chad is in a class of his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 LOL one of my clients who lives in Pittsburgh saw this story and said he wants to know where Chad is going to be next. If he's giving $100 for a buck, and likes McDonalds, he wants to get him a McDs gift certificate for $10 and see if Chad will fork over a quick grand!

Stripes Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The two starting receivers on this year's AFC roster are the top two in the NFL. Forget about T.O. and forget about Randy. They've both proven their true worth this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
