    who think he is a diva and all that other nonsense....

    http://ocnnreport.com/2012/07/03/ch...sonal-wedding-invite-to-a-well-deserving-fan/

    As I said before when he was signed, he is the farthest thing from a "diva". Guy is a showboat and talks smack...that isn't a diva. The guy is class all the way.

    You are correct, this has nothing to do with on the field.

    It has everything to do with peoples preconceived notions of him being a diva.

    There's really no reason for people to believe Johnson isn't a good guy. He's one of the better human beings in the NFL, he's just really goofy. For some reason there is a segment of the populace who had never been able to properly cope with the idea football players no longer look and act like Johnny Unitas.

    Well away from here
    Chad has always done stuff like this, in terms of being one of the more accessible players around. Is he over the top? Absolutely, but you don't hear about him imploding locker rooms or being devisive. Yes, what he does on the field matters a great deal, as that is what he's here for, but don't underesitmate the good PR he will bring with him by doing things like this.

    You always hear the term "high character guys" when evaluations are going on with players. It applies here as well.

    There are a lot of words to describe him, but 'diva' isn't one.

    Chads a little eccentric but imo was definitely a good addition. Imo people who think he is devisive, mean spirited or a bad guy havent really paid much attention to his career. I thought he'd have a rebound year before he signed with Miami...

    Chad is a diva and a distraction, that being said its not a crime and doesnt make him a bad person, just an annoying person and bad teammate. People dont care about all the self promotion, just play good ball.

    There is different types of bad teammates. Some are just jerks. Heck Michael Jordan can be seen as a bad teammate because he is a jerl. Then there are others who are just distractions and are about self promotion not the team. Chad is a bad teammate because he is a distraction

    Good story. I've always enjoyed Chad's antics and personality, look forward to him busting out a few celebrations in the endzone this year for us.

    the fact that people admire johnson's charity or whatever, in no way means they've lost sight of the fact that he needs to play well for the football team to be successful.

    Jordan gained a rep as a jerk to some opposing players, and psycho greedy fans. Was a frickin general on the court. And who is chad distracting that makes him a bad teammate? You ? Everyone celebrates touchdowns, he just gets creative. Everyone is on twitter. I dont think his teammates are too busy watching the ochocinco network to practice. The only thing he could possibly distract is fans IMO.

    I love Chad Johnson. One of my faves. But to say he is not a diva is inaccurate.
    You said it yourself, he is a showboat and talks smack. That is a diva.
    The difference between Johnson and other divas like Randy Moss and T.O. is that he isn't a locker room distraction.

    He went to the hospital to visit Hartline when he was there, by himself, I thought that was cool.

    I like the guy and hope he has a great career with the Fins. If he can pick up where he left off a couple years ago he will be a good WR and teammate. He is a different person all together. Some people just do their own thing and really don't care what everyone around them thinks. IMO he has never been a locker room problem or team distraction. Yes, he does some crazy, outlandish stuff but all in good fun. I would like to see a couple strong years as a Fins WR and then retirement in the Aqua and Orange. He is just naturally a South Florida kinda guy

    To prove a point apparently. Better question is why is Chad putting a pic of himself w/no pants online?

    And no he ain't my man.

    In my view a diva is a player who is a narcissist or someone who only cares about what they want without regard to others. So if C'O'J starts running lazy routes, wrong routes is not playing with his head in the game or not being a team player then he'll get rightfully critisized. I don't know much about him, I admit but all the showboating draws attention to himself because he's an entertainer. It doesn't harm anyone. For Coyle to endorse him means to me that he's not a bad guy. He's in Miami for cheap anyway but I think he'll at least do alright without many issues.

    That is the real question," can he still play"? I have always liked Chad as a player and I think he was one of the best receivers in the league during the height of his career. I just wonder what he has left at this stage of his career. If he couldn't have a solid season playing with one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL last season. It just makes one wonder how effective he will be playing with quarterbacks who are not anywhere close to being Brady.

    Personally I will be very surprised if he is a member of the Dolphins once the final roster is set.

    I personally am drafting Ochocinco late in every fantasy draft this year. I have this feeling he's going to flourish this year.
