    Welcome To The House Of Chads

    Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject : Morning crap

    Why do I get the feeling that this isn't the only room in Chad Johnson's home that is full of giant portraits of himself? In a move usually reserved for Latin American dictators or advanced Alzheimer's patients (who am I again? Oh yeah!), Ocho Ego has his crib festooned with his own image, as we see in this screen capture from a recent interview on the NFL Network. He may not know art, but he knows what he likes. More »

    Chris Johnson's Musical Stylings Not A Hit With NFL

    I've always thought that the NFL was a bit stodgy when it came to their touchdown celebration policy; playing the Mr. Belding in the Saved By The Bell that is our nation's most popular televised sport. But that being as it is, there is a rule in place against end zone shenanigans, so the Titans' Chris Johnson shouldn't have been surprised when he was fined $10,000 on Thursday for his antics in the Kansas City game. Johnson is going to appeal the fine, and I for one would like to be in the room when that happens. Chris, you scored a touchdown and then infiltrated the other team's pep band and played the freakin' drums. You're not giving the Players Union a lot to work with here. More »

    Olympic Gold Medalist Challenges Chad Ochocinco to Race

    Dominating one sport isn't enough anymore for today's athletes. Apparently, if you're a professional football player, specifically an egomaniacal receiver, you think your skills translate to other venues. Chad Johnson wanted to race against Michael Phelps in the pool — not to mention a horse on a track. Terrell Owens, if given a 20-yard head start, thinks he could out sprint Usain Bolt. Now Olympic athletes are firing back. American Gold medal women's sprinter Mary Wineberg, via this YouTube video, has challenged Ochocinco to 400-meter sprint: More »

    Titans Linebacker Keith Bulluck Serves Notice He's Coming for "Oucho Cinco"


    Football players are so witty. You see the comedic work Bulluck is doing there? He added a vowel! The Titans linebacker is still stewing over Chad Johnson scoring a touchdown and celebrating with a television camera as a prop last season. So now Bulluck is letting Chad Ocho Cinco (nee Johnson) know that he's coming for him. Telling theTennessean , "I saw him with that shoulder brace on the sideline, looking really dejected," Bulluck said. "He should see how that shoulder is. Tell him get that shoulder right." More »

    Ocho Cinco's Name Change Papers Reveal His Creative Kids' Names

    Tired of hearing about Chad Ocho Cinco yet? Me neither. The Smoking Gun has his name change documents and while they are mostly unexciting, we've learned a few things about the man. Apparently he claims to have no ulterior reasons for changing his name. I guess "Sticking it to Roger Goodell" wasn't on the multiple choice. Oh, and that two of his kids are named Chad and Chade. Not quite George Foreman ridiculousness, but still. Are we to expect Chada, Chado, Chadi, and Chadu in the coming years? God, I hope so. More »

    Chad Johnson Is An Interviewer's Dream

    At this point approaching Chad Johnson with a microphone is slightly less dangerous than taunting tigers at the San Francisco Zoo.

    Chad Johnson's Attitude Reaches New Level Of Stinko-ness

    It was only a couple years ago when Bengals' wide receiver Chad Johnson was cause celebre to NFL fans; his defiance against the league for his wacky endzone celebrations seemed harmless and amusing, even if it did cost his team the occasional 15-yard penalty. He was also quotable, seemingly self-aware, and had all the skills to become the elite, Hall of Fame receiver he prematurely considered himself. But as his displeasure with the Bengals became more public (he seemingly could not find one redeeming quality about any aspect of the organization that gave him a monster contract extension two years ago), he slowly transformed from a colorful personality into a less talented, more annoying version of Terrell Owens.

    Brian Kenny's Media Approval Rating Went Up A Little Bit


    ESPN yakkity-yak Brian Kenny displayed the appropriate amount of annoyance and amusement during his teeth-pulling interview with aggrieved Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson. Kenny, not getting too much out of Chad besides his usual grousing (although, Johnson did say he wouldn't sit out next season) attempted to gracefully sign off from the interview. More »
