For yet another time, Marvin Lewis said that Chad Johnson is and will be a Cincinnati Bengal.
It seems like he has to say that once a week. This time he said that Chad will be a Bengal and if he doesn't want to be, he will have to make his "threat" become real, retire. Here are a few tidbits of his comments of the Chad Johnson fiasco:
"We've been dealing with this inside for over a year and we'll be prepared to move on"
"He has a contract through 2011. If he plays NFL football it will be in
Cincinnati, or he has to do what he says and that's retire. That would
be a shame. We'll do everything we can to help him out of this and try
to restore his image."
"Unfortunately Chad put himself in that situation. A lot of people who
really had an affection for him fan-wise and people around the league
see him in a different light and that's unfortunate. Some of the things
he's gone on record and said one way or the other he's going to have to
deal with them one way or the other. ... He's said he's probably going
to sit out. I think you've got to own up and do it. Hopefully he'll do
what Kobe Bryant did this year. He had a very accomplished season
(after his trade demands). The Cincinnati Bengals hold the cards
through the 2011 season."
