NFL Roundup: Fore!
• Honestly, what more can you say about Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson?

(All it was missing was an awkward high five.) If t...

NFL Roundup: A Costly Fumble
• It's pretty astounding that fan guy in Cincinnati was able to run on the field during the Packers' closing drive.

Bengals' Johnson Keeps Swooning Over Oprah
