C. Johnson says he will fight Palmer
Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:53:05 -0700

TSN reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson (ankle) said him and QB Carson Palmer are going to fight. "Me and Carson, I mean, we're fighting and bickering a lot and he's pissing me off," Johnson said. "But other than that, you know, it's cool." The reporter doing the interview then laughed at Johnson's response but Johnson said he was serious. "Why are you laughing?" he asked. "I'm serious." The reporter responded saying it was hard to tell if he was serious. "I'm serious," Johnson stated again. "Carson and I are going to fight in camp. I'm just telling you now. We're going to frustrate each other, and I'm going to hit him in his knee - the bad one… We have a great relationship but sometimes you fight."

Wow. I hope he was joking.

I think we've found the Ron Artest of football.

'PSST! Hey Carson... sweep the leg...'

Seriously, that is ridiculous to the point of sounding made up.

Just Chad being Chad

i saw this interview on espn a few days ago...it honestly didnt seem like he was kidding when he was saying it, but its just so far out there you cant really believe he means it. he is just trying to stir up trouble, i believe.

while he might be serious he does deadpan pretty well when you know he is joking. guess it'll be a wait and see situation but i would be surprised to see them come to blows.

Oh c'mon. I don't care how deadpan he played it, you gotta know he was kidding. I bet you he and Palmer laughed their @$$es off about it at dinner that night. Chad's saying: "Watch, they're gonna put it on ESPN and everything".

"... I'm going to hit him in his knee - the bad one..."

That is just freakin' hilarious...

I agree that he probably won't go smashing Palmer's knees. With all the problems they have in Cincinnati and the fact that he didn't do a very good job of having the reporter understand his joke, he shouldn't be very surprised if this is made into something bigger than it really is. It's still a stupid thing to say regardless.

I agree. I laughed quite hard at that line.
