Today while driving home from work, listening to sports talk radio (Keep up the good work Mike Missanelli), I heard breaking news that Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away. He lost his fight with melanoma. A somber, and sad way for the birds to start their training camp. He will be missed.

You want an interesting athlete to follow on Twitter? Then you should follow Chad Ocho Cinco:

As you can imagine Chad is a really interesting and updates frequently. Unlike a lot of athletes on Twitter he actually has conversations with his followers.

The media went a little overboard when Chad announced he was getting a Tattoo on his face. As you can see it is not "Tyson Worthy" it isn't even "Marbury Worthy".

Lil Wayne saw the Tattoo and was like:

"That's it?? I had that one when I was eight years old".

Bars of Kansas City can officially rejoice for the next two years. Kansas City Chiefs' RB, Larry Johnson has been banned from all Kansas City bars after 9 p.m. as part of his probation upon pleading guilty for "disturbing the peace." Last time I checked "allegedly" shoving a woman and spitting his drink in the face of another woman last year qualified for more than a simple disturbance. Minor or not, its assault. Which was the original charge before Johnson entered his guilty plea and the charges were reduced.

At least the drunken hot girls will be safe from saliva baths and shoving matches now that he will not be consuming alcohol and haunting bars/nightclubs after 9 p.m. Instead, Johnson will be tapping into his inner Gandhi and Mother Theresa through his court ordered anger control counseling and 40 hours of community service. A few woo-sais (think Martin Lawrence in Bad Boys) and chakras and Larry Johnson might be as good as new. That and the fact that he is dating Chilli of female R&B super group fame, TLC

Perhaps she'll make a man out of him yet. If not, I hope some of deceased bandmate, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes rubbed off on her. Larry better watch out! Don't make her bust a match if she doesn't have to. Much like Larry's hot pink diamond bezelled watch and his outfit, I heard saliva and fire don't mix.

Lebron continues to amaze me with his performance on and off the court. If you havealready witnessed his underhanded half court shot he banked before going on to kill the Memphis Grizzlies 99-78, I know you feel me 110%.

Joe Johnson thinks he can take a shot at seizing King James crown for half man, half amazing shots with a sit down three pointer that defies a little gravity of its own. The ease at which both men throw up the rock is equivalent to the urge to throw the Roc sign up when you hear Jay-Z "Give It To Me" or "Roc Boys"

Throw in Dwight Howard's Half Court Shot and Lebron got some serious contending to do!

Every morning I start my daily routine like this:

• Check my text messages
• Go to Profootballtalk.com

As I was running through the Rumor Mill I see comments from MeShawn Johnson and Cris "Bullet" Carter regarding the Anquan Boldin incident in the NFC Championship game. Here are a few of the quotes:

From MeShawn:

"No. It's not that big of a deal," Keyshawn said. "If it was, you could see players grabbing him ... I've been with Todd Haley and I've been around Todd Haley. He coached me with the Jets. He coached me in Dallas. In our meeting rooms (he) was the worst. You would like to be a fly on that wall. I don't how we could even be in the same room; I don't know how we can get along so well. But that's just a player and a coach out there competing. I work for TV, but I hate it because they try to turn it into more than it is. And, it's not that big of a deal."

From Bullet Carter:

Just reading the sports news today, and I see the San Francisco 49ers interviewed Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson Friday morning for their open offensive coordinator position. You would think that's not a big deal, until you start connecting dots, and there are plenty.

Tuesday night, I wrote a quick story about Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby of the Atlanta Hawks wearing commemorative shoes by Nike of the presidential inauguration.

Well, Nike didn't want the public to go without, but they are available on a very limited basis. NikeBlog.com has the details of the limited availability of the new Air Jordan Pure Pressure, Inauguration Edition shoes.

Not long after the Atlanta Hawks watched the inauguration of our 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, two of them were fitted with special shoes, courtesy of Nike.

Here is the reality of the situation. The Cincinnati Bengals are looking for scapegoats. The management is horrible, the coaching is suspect and the players lack the desire, talent and intensity to win. The Bengals for years have passed off their problems on players in hopes that the bias mainstream media will focus on the player be it Carl Pickens or Corey Dillon rather the bigger problem of the Bengals being one of the worse run franchises in the history of sports in the last two decades.

This brings me to Chad Johnson aka Ocho Cinco. I don't care what you have heard from the start of training camp he has been a model player. He hasn't complained, he has stayed positive and even though the Bengals have fazed him out of the offense he hasn't had a blow up.

There are conflicting reports of what caused him to be deactivated for the Thursday night game against the Steelers. Some are reporting a scuffle while others are reporting he overslept for a meeting. It doesn't really matter it is obvious while Chad does shoulder some of the blame that the Bengals are trying to make him there latest scapegoat for their horrible season.

This is a candidate for either the funniest story or saddest story of the year first reported by our friends at Profootballtalk.com. When Rudi Johnson was at the Lions facility to finalize his deal he left some luggage outside of Matt Millen's office. When he came out of the office later the luggage was mysteriously missing.

Millen proved he was a much better detective than he is a GM by immediately pulling the surveillance cameras to see who was the culprit which was none other than:

Tatum Bell

Yes the Tatum Bell who was getting cut upon Rudi Johnson's arrival, but the story doesn't end there. Bell after he steals the luggage drops them off at one of his "Bust It Babies" (for my non hip-hop readers type in Bust it Baby in Google and you will find out what it means) house for "safe keeping".

After Bell explained to the Lions that he thought the bags belong to someone he knew (by the way Bell also thinks O.J. is looking for the real killer) the young lady in question told the Lions that she hadn't seen Bell in months and he showed up at her door asking her to watch the bags for awhile.

Suffice it to say it will be hard for Bell to find work after this. It is one thing to be a below average running back but it is a whole another thing to be a below average running back who steals his competitors underwear and leaves them with a random jump off.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have the old Ocho Cinco back. The one from this summer was a little disturbing to me. I much prefer the fun loving, grill wearing, trash-talking and horse-racing Chad.

Earlier this week, Viva Shetty told you how Chad is thinking about legally changing his name to Ocho Cinco which, of course, I think is the coolest thing ever. I would be first in line to buy one with the Corporate Low Limit Not Quite Ballin Paypal BSO MasterCard. As my boy F350 says:

"The marketing aspects would be sick."

But even better than that is Ocho's latest boast that he would like to take on Aquaman aka Michael Phelps in a swimming contest. Here is the quote from Chad:

"Where I'm from -- Liberty City -- I know a couple of people who can beat Michael Phelps right now. Seriously. I'm telling you. And I'm one of 'em."

Chad also claims that he was the three-time Charles Hadley Pool champion in Liberty City, Miami. Of course no records of this exist, but fact-finding takes the fun out of the story. I am begging for someone to put this event together and put it on PPV. You have my $49.95.

*UPDATE*

The good people at WHEREISTAND.COM has provided us with a video of Chad making his boasts.

In case you haven't heard, according to MJD, Chad wants to legally change his last name to "Ocho Cinco". Apparently he has taken the first steps to making this change by filing papers in the State of Florida.

I don't know whether to be amused or annoyed. I mean the man has the right to change his name if he wants to. I mean, who are we to judge? He could be doing a lot worse. But, what if he goes through with this change and then switches numbers? Will he change his name again?

If Chad Johnson ever wants to be taken seriously, stuff like this does not help his cause. It could be worse though. He could change his name to "Seis Nueve".

Billy Packer is out at CBS and fans worldwide are rejoicing. The reason is simple. He sucked. No one likes to hear a joyless old man trying to act like he is the god to college basketball announcing games like he needs two cases of Ex-Lax.

Billy Packer is the exact opposite of what a good announcer should be. He is pompous and arrogant and treats the viewers are idiots. Now many of those viewers' maybe idiots but it is the announcer job to break down the game in a way that even an idiot would understand as oppose to speak down to the viewer (see: Hubie Brown).

Clark Kellogg is taking his place and while I would have much preferred Gus Johnson (if you want to know why watch the video below) I have no issue with Kellogg. To be honest they could have just put a cardboard cut out up and it would have been more entertaining than Packer. Good riddance.

If you ever believed for one second that Ocho Cinco was going to sit out the entire season, you are probably the same person who thinks that Roger Clemens never used steroids. So it wasn't surprising to me in the least the Chad declared he would be attending training camp.

The situation is eerily similar to the Terrell Owens Eagles fiasco. Here's why. Chad is absolutely correct in his assessment of the Bengals organization, but because he can't keep his mouth from running 100 MPH. he can't get his wish to be traded or get a new contract. Chad's coming to training camp will probably be more distracting than if he would have stayed away.

In the end, just like the Eagles, if the Bengals continue to be hard-headed. they will fail and the team will struggle. Eventually Chad will get released, suspended, traded, or cut. He will get his money with another team and the Bengals will be worse off for it. They should have taken that 1st round pick from the Redskins when they had the chance.

Dirk choked and the refs help the Heat win the 2006 NBA Championship. From that point on. the Mavericks were destined to do one of two things:

1- Come back stronger and more determined than ever.
2- Flame out like Johnny Storm.

Unfortunately for Avery Johnson the Mavs choose door #2. The team has deteriorated quicker than Roger Clemens asking 15 year olds back to his hotel room. Nothing worse than a team whose best player isn't a "serial killer" (Dirk), whose "Scottie Pippen" player (Josh Howard) is more interested in smoking that "Ricky Williams" than improving his game and whose point guard (Jason Kidd) is more likely to beat down his wife that make an open jumper or heaven forbid defend an opposing point guard.

Just remember that Mark Cuban had a chance to trade for Shaq (when he eventually got traded to the Heat) in his semi-prime and Kobe in his prime, but he didn't want to let go of Dirk with whom he has a "man-crush" on. Maybe Cuban should have fired himself as opposed to Avery Johnson.

How can I put this nicely?

The Bengals front office, management and ownership are idiots.

While I don't agree with the antics Chad Johnson used to get out of town, I agree that the Bengals are one of the worse run organizations of all time. It is obvious that Chad doesn't want to be there. When you have teams like the Washington Redskins offering a 1st round pick in this year's draft and a conditional 3rd round pick (which could become a 1st round pick) in next year's draft, you take that deal. I don't care if Johnson didn't want to be traded you take that deal. To put it in its proper perspective, the Patriots got the a 4th round pick for Randy Moss and teams are offer a 1st and 3rd for Chad Johnson. No wonder the Bengals are the laughing stock of the league.

I honestly don't know what else I can do for Chad Johnson. Obviously, he didn't read my letter.

"AN OPEN LETTER TO CHAD JOHNSON"

At this point, he is becoming such a distraction that, if I owned an NFL team, I would want to get rid of him. Of course, if I owned an NFL team, it would have never gotten this far. But I digress. I will keep you informed of any rumors about potential trades leading up to the draft.

Dear Chad,

Wassup Ocho! It's ya boy Robert Littal. I'm sure you already know why I am sending this. I saw your interview on ESPN last night and, to be honest, I was a little disturbed.

Chad, you have to know by now ESPN is not your friend. Moreover, the media aren't your friends. They will never be friends to athletes like you even though, without you, they wouldn't exist. I know I've explained this to you before, Chad. We have talked about this several times. But, I'm going to break it down for you in a different way this time. So sit down and try to take it all in.

The media is a like a very beautiful woman who cheats on you constantly. You know she is going to do you wrong, but you are seduced by her beauty. Every time she cheats on you, she says she is sorry and invites you back. Every time, like the simp you are, you keep coming back and then she does it to you all over again. It's like the movie "Groundhog Day".

The beautiful woman will always cheat on the ones that come back. She doesn't cheat on the ones who generally treat her like crap (see: Roger Clemens). It doesn't matter how much the beautiful woman likes you. She will always be creeping behind your back because she knows that you lust for her attention. You are addicted to the attention like a drug. The message board people call people like you "Attention Whores". For lack of a better term, Chad, you need to pimp the beautiful woman and not let the beautiful woman pimp you.

Ocho, I know you see how they do T.O. ,and you know what they are labeling you now:

"THE NEW T.O."

On the one hand, I agree with Chad Johnson that the Bengals use him as a scapegoat for a lot of their troubles. I never understood how it was Chad's fault that the defense gives up 100 points a game. With that being said, very similar to Terrell Owens, Chad's downfall will be his mouth.

He has to remember that the biased mainstream media will always twist his words to make him out to be the bad guy. The more he talks, the deeper hole he is digging himself. His points are very valid about the Bengals organization, but it isn't going to help anything by pouting.

The best thing Chad can do is keep quiet and be the Ocho Cinco that we all know and love. He is opening himself to unnecessary criticism when the focus should be on the multiple problems the Bengals have which aren't number-85.

Say it isn't so Ocho? Tell me you didn't try to punch Marvin Lewis, as my old childhood friend Reggie Sykes used to say, "Straight Up In His Eye".

When you held your press conference two years ago saying it was untrue, to be honest I figured you were lying but not to the extent that you treated Marvin's eye like he was Mitch "Blood" Green.

Mike Florio at Profootballtalk.com had the video confirmation that it went down before YouTube took it down and you know we have defended you against PFT.com in the past. But we can't defend any player, no matter how cool, for punching his coach in the eye like Jason Kidd finding out his ex wife cheated on him with Avery Johnson. It is in the past so there isn't much that can be done now. But when you are begging for a trade, you might want to remember some of the sins of your past Chad.

Please Keyshawn go back to the NFL go play for your snuggle bunny Bill Parcells. Wherever Bill goes Keyshawn follows him like a puppy dog. It is sad really when you think about because it was Parcells that traded him to Tampa and it was Parcells who cut him from the Cowboys. Nevertheless getting Keyshawn off my TV will be the best thing that could happen in the offseason. Maybe Parcells can take Emmitt, TJ and Chris Berman too? Or is that asking too much?
