I'm still wondering what he had planned for that TD celebration in the Steelers game he had planned, where he referred to an iron.

Once a year I return to the city of Cincinnati where I grew up, to welcome into the home of my family the birth of a Savior, and this year, the Savior's name is Chad Johnson. I bless the day you were born, Chad. You have saved Christmas.

It's actually pretty genius. Chad scores his TD, does his little tango de la muerte with the deer, the PETA representatives rush him and throw red paint on him, and for the rest of the game, his red jersey will confuse Bills defenders into thinking they can't tackle him. Yeah, yeah. Like they'd have a shot at touching him anyway. Still: genius.

As a product of a broken alcoholic family during the Christm-- err - Holiday season, I'm desperately deluding myself into thinking that this might actually happen. I'm working out scenarios in my head in which he's in super secret negotiations with the ASPCA and PETA, giving them every assurance that the animal is being treated humanely and buying them off with million dollar donations, so they won't sabotage his celebration. He's got a veterinarian on the payroll too. Team trainers are working on the leg so the limp won't be that bad when he pulls Chad in a sleigh across the field. He's going to make this happen. All I have to do is pour dad's vodka down the kitchen sink before the Christmas Party and this is going to happen!!!

This is weird even for him. 'Tis a shame it probably won't be on TV here.

My god, he's going to put the deer out of his misery by repeatedly throwing a football at its head!

I may move to Cincinnati. There can't be much to do but I do so love Chad. He should have his own cooking show after this. He could show the proper way to slice and prepare venison.

I talked to Chad: The plan is to jam the football into Carson Palmer's helmet as a reindeer nose and use the Bengals O- line to pull the 'sleigh' through the end zone. There will be a cheerleader to sit shotgun as Mrs. Claus. Chad is also trying to recruit a special teams guy as his arms to drive the sleigh, a la Clinto Portis.

I keep getting this Goodfellas image of Chad showing up wasted at his mom's house late one night and she makes him food and after that he asks for a knife to carve the wounded deer out of the grill of his Hummer.

I am also amused by Chad...but what if, in fact, PETA does get involved? Does it become a distraction this week for the team?

I wonder if he gets money from the networks for getting people to actually watch the bills...also, I have to imagine that if Chad Johnson brings a deer out onto the field, Marvin Lewis will snap and kill him right there, no matter how ridiculous the touchdown was...

Chad Johnson is a freaking genius. It's as if TO and Vince McMahon spent a lost weekend in Cabo and had a love child.

this is the best hype I've heard for a game this season... ...Anna Benson is now considering leaving Kris

I'm comfortable taking Chad's word on this. I'll assume he is right and a dead deer, is in fact, the greatest prop ever for a end zone celebration. But mostly because I'm trying to figure out what in God's name would make someone volunteer information like this. Frankly, it sounds like something Miggs would say.

I was going to make the obligatory Love Boat allusion (e.g. "Good thing Johnson doesn't play in Minnesota, no telling WHAT that deer would be in for. Ew!" etc.). But I simply don't have the energy.
