OK. Now Chad is shoving journalists and going down the wrong path. I remember listening to Jim Rome last week after Chad said he was thinking about sitting out the season. Romey said that Chad could choose two paths - chill out and keep his mouth shut or keep talking and further alienate himself. Well, it seems as if he's chosen the latter.
I have been a staunch Chad supporter and have loved his celebrations, pepto-bismol sending, and definitely his touchdowns, but not any longer. I'll drive him to Miami, Oakland, or where ever else he wants to go. I've had enough, and if you haven't - why the heck not? For the good of this franchise, we've got to let him go. Yes, his talent will be missed, but to be honest, aren't wide receivers a dime a dozen in the NFL? Shoot, if Wes Welker can have the season he had, can't Glen Holt do the same?
Another question that I have is the fact that the Bengals are refusing to say anything. Yeah, I know they are usually tight-lipped about everything, but for their most well-known player to publicly say he wants to play elsewhere is just another reason to be the butt of more jokes. Of course, it's probably for the best because we would just hear Marvin's nervous laugh over and over again anyway.
I do know the salary cap hit would be huge, and I understand that it doesn't make any sense to move Chad in any way, but something has to change. Fines, benchings, gag orders, muzzles, something has to be done. To sit around and do nothing is more embarassing than what has already happened.
