No matter what anyone says, it's still hard to adjust to the notion of Keyshawn Johnson wearing a suit and being introduced by Chris Berman. It's like the spectacle of Sitting Bull as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Keyshawn was not meant to be tamed.
That being said, the only way that this interview between Keyshawn Johnson and Chad Johnson could be more entertaining is if Clinton Portis suddenly appeared in giant glasses and clown shoes. I've never seen the interviewer get frustrated and end the interview ... isn't it usually the other way around?

I don't think I've seen an NFL pregame show in ten years, so I don't have much of a frame of reference, but that was actually a pretty good interview, considering it was 90 seconds too long and the two participants are insane.
"Now you bein' condescending see, you've been warned 'aight? Now let's move forward amicably."
"Well aight check this out dawg, first of all, you throwin' too many big words at me, and because I don't understand 'em I'm gonna take 'em as disrespect. Watch ya mouth and help me with the sale."
'Excuse me, I speak jive.'
Keyshawn is fantastic.
The only performance better than this was on Draft Day this year. Whenever any star receiver was selected he started his analysis with "This guy reminds me of myself..."
@being sven: You ever hear of rollin' twenties, nigga?
Wow, after watching that interview, I don't think I've ever felt whiter.
Hey Key, ESPN won't pay you to stay at home like the Bucs did.
@GorgeForeman: In other words, this interview is like the Renee Zellweger-Kenny Chesney marriage.
This is the esteemed tradition of wide receivers named Johnson interviewing each other. In six years, Chad will be out of the league, ready to interview Calvin.
I think if Keyshawn came back and hit Chad over the head with a pair of coconuts, that would have been cool.
@flubby: Joe Theismann disagrees.
How was that translated to ESPN Deportes?
ROWR! Watch out, those cats have claws!
Somewhere, Jason Whitlock is smiling.
@Steve518: ala Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka?
Did it look to anyone else like Keyshawn was wearing jeans?
Chad Johnson knows what Marcellus Wallace looks like.

We are all dumber for having seen that.
Seriously. I just forgot how multiply fractions.
THAT WAS GOOD TELEVISION.

That being said, the only way that this interview between Keyshawn Johnson and Chad Johnson could be more entertaining is if HUGH suddenly appeared
Michael Irvin and TO think that interview is a complete farce.
Where all the white women at?
Now why the hell didn't I think of that when I interviewed Saddam??
/Mike Wallace
@ralphus: I couldn't multiply fractions before this clip.
You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ... but ya doesn't hafta call me Johnson.
Chad Johnson topsy turveyed that motherfucker
When Keyshawn called Chad a distraction to his team, every pot and kettle in the United States exploded...
@Trenton Makes The World Takes: Keyshawn, unlike Larry David, is rather flippable.
When did Keyshawn Johnson turn into Joe Buck?
@Trenton Makes The World Takes: Long Balls Chad?
Frankly, I thought Keyshawn got owned in his own interview. Chad Johnson was making a whole lot more sense, and Keyshawn has no standing to act all holier than thou. Then he quits his own interview because the subject calls him on his bullshit.
Hey Key ... Chad has stated on the record that the lack of celebrations are due to their record ... dumbass ...
Real transcript of conversation:
Keyshawn: Me me me me, meme, meme me me meme me me?
Chad: Me! Me me, mememememme, mememe, me meme me meme...
me? meme!
I was waiting for Chad to come and say, "Everything I know about being a disruption I learned from you dawg"
that was a pretty good interview, chad really comes across as a believable, thoughtful guy. he certainly doesn't like what people in the media might say about him and obviously wants to prove people wrong... He definitely understands that unless you're winning, all that other stuff DOES look like an act or a joke.
he'd be great on the pats!
@LeNoceur: Nah, Jim Gray vs Pete Rose (before, you know, the whole admittance deal)
ahh where is the end of the interview? that's the best part! it's cut off here...
keyshawn stands up and says they both have to be somewhere and chad goes "where? where do we have to go?"
Chad Johnson for president?
WTF was that about? CJ used to get shit on because he celebrated when they were winning and KJ shits on him now because he used to celebrate when they were winning but now he's not because they are not winning. Stupid premise and an incompetent interviewer.
Why oh why don't teams like the Bengals end up in the Super Bowl. THAT would be entertaining.
this just happened this past weekend between Lazio president Claudio Lotito and a network interviewer, and takes interviewer/interviewee rage to the next level. hilarious starting at about the 2 minute mark, even if you don't speak italian.

You're the Johnson now Dawg
too many johnsons on the court!

This quickly turned into a competition to see whose voice could reach the highest pitch.
Keyshawn just wanted to show up Chad, shame him, embarrass him without any conception of irony whatsoever. This was a "gotcha" type interview, and Chad knew it.
Piss-poor interviewing on Keyshawn's part.
@Swolestice:
Don't make me use my HIGH voice!
Keyshawn's just mad because near the end of his career he forgot what the end zone looked like.
Chad Johnson rules hard. Fuck Keyshawn, he has no business calling Chad out on anything after all the bullshit he pulled during his career. Also Keyshawn consistently fails to realize that he was never a great receiver. He reached 1,000+ receiving yards only 4 times in his 11 year career. Chad Johnson has already done it 5 times, every year except his rookie year, including last season when he led the league in receiving yards.
@Blackaces: You probably lost that ability during an Emmit Smith segment on Countdown.
is it a surefire sign that I'm going insane when I think both Johnson's made salient points?
