Chad: We are two completely different people altogether, on and off the field.

netsfan00: Chad, I am a big fan of you, what is a typical day like during the NFL season for you?
Chad: A typical day. Get up at 6 in the morning, meetings start at 9:00, practices at 1 and then post-practice meetings are at 5. So, it's a full day.

chris_d_: Chad, do you like collecting anything like shoes or jerseys in your time away from the NFL?
Chad: No, I've never been a real big collector of anything.

Dtrub: Marriage in the near future?
Chad: When I find the right one, maybe.

DaddyCincinnati: What happened to the orange chinstrap? I liked it.

BRANDON_J_W: When you score a td, how do u feel?
Chad: It's one of the best feelings in the world. Sort of like a sense of relief.

dolan: How must you yourself play to win the last two games of the season?
Chad: I have to play very well. A lot better than what I played last night.

Dtrub: Have you been able to make any true friends here in Cincy...outside of the team?
Chad: Oh yeah. As a matter of fact, I have one friend I'm always with outside of football.

crewe9: Have you ever gone into a game thinking you were absolutely going to win, but then lost?
Chad: Yeah, of course, because you go into every game thinking that you're going to win.

C_J__Bennett_Who_Dey : Besides being in the NFL, what do you consider your biggest accomplishment?

Chad: Yeah.

cincycincy: I really thought you guys were going to pull off a win over the Colts, what went wrong?
Chad: I'm not sure what went wrong. But we didn't win. The 24 hour rule is in effect, so that game is over now.

subfloor:  Why were you and Palmer having such a hard time connecting? Was it your O line?

Chad: No, not at all. I'm not the best yet.

shaykivlen_com:    What's the worst team you have ever played
Chad:      Any team can win on any given Sunday. So there is no worst team.

C_J__Bennett_Who_Dey : Is there any place you hang out with fellow fans?
Chad: McDonald's.

Saints_Fan_613Do you trade jerseys with your opponents like they do after soccer matches?
Chad: No, we don't. If we trade jerseys, they make us pay for them. That sucks.

Brushfyre: Chad, you've had your share of words with DeAngelo Hall. Do you think he runs his mouth too much?

LeMarcBre: What's your ringtone right now?

Chad: Depending on the score of the game and whether we're winning or losing.

b2theizzo: Did you get more girls with the blonde mohawk?
Chad: No, not at all.

Luke85: What's up with the cramping so often? Not enough fluids?
Chad: Yeah, not enough fluids.

LongArmoftheLaw: How have you approached your teammates with all the off field incidents this year?
Chad: Those situations I let the coach handle, but if they ever needed my advice on anything I'd be there for them. But it's really not my place to be trying to counsel anyone when I'm not perfect myself.

b2theizzo: Chad what can you bench press?
Chad: 325 pounds.

downwithdenver: Denver has become an 'all or nothing' game in order for you to have a shot at the playoffs. How are you going to get ready for that game?
Chad: Work hard. Work hard, like I do every week.

Vikings_Fan: A lot of people say that you've calmed down your pre-game talk in recent weeks. Are you trying to go humble on us?
Chad: Never! Humble is for the birds.

cyler: What's the attitude in the locker room right now?
Chad: I haven't been in the locker room. We had the day off today.

inarqua: How do you feel about the continued disciplinary problems with your teammates? Why does this keep happening?
Chad: I don't know. All I can do is control what Chad Johnson does on and off the field.

Ashley: Do you still like you nickname Ocho Cinco?
Chad: Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm going to change it on my birth certificate.

Leyshawn: Are you going to personally change anything going into the Denver game?
Chad: No. I don't need to do any extra and I don't need to do any less. Just stay consistent at what I do, and I'll be fine.

Brushfyre: Congrats on the Pro Bowl selection. Do you feel that the players should be able to vote on the location every year?
Chad: No, the location we're at is perfect.

reeze: What's your favorite memory of high school?
Chad: Good question. I can't even remember high school, it's a long time ago.

kim: I noticed in one of your previous chats that you had a girlfriend. Is she your soul mate or are you still looking?
Chad: I don't have a girlfriend, I'm not sure what chat that was.

Vikings_Fan: Here is a tough one... what would you rather have...Hall of Fame... or a Super Bowl?

Chad: Yeah, I play every game like it's do or die.

sumpinsmart:  Have you ever thought about not celebrating a touchdown just to shock everyone?
Chad: I did that last year in tribute to Barry Sanders in Detroit.

b2theizzo: Chad what time do you go to bed?
Chad: It depends if I'm losing at Madden online.

Billy: Chad - seeing you out at Newport at the Levee this year was a dream come true for my son. It really meant the world to him to meet his idol at a cool event. What's it like to meet the fans that look up to so much like my son. Are you a role model?
Chad: Yeah, I am. It's cool to meet those whose lives I've changed sometimes.

Chat Transcript December 12th BACK TO TOP

Chad: Thanks for checking out my chat. It's just one of the many cool things I have planned for you guys this season, so make sure you stay tuned.

USCfan8: How did you come up with all your celebrations?
Chad: Just being creative, that's it.

Melody:Thank you for spicing up football, but how do you feel about being fined for such stupid reasons?
Chad: I haven't been fined this year except one time, so they have kind of given me a little leeway.

Pino: What did you do to prepare for the Oakland game, was the D as tough as you thought it would be?
Chad: They were very good, and it's the reason why they're ranked #3 in the NFL. Even though we scored 27 points, they're a lot better team than what their record shows.

rhondeen: Was the Ravens game really the first time your grandmother has gotten to see you play since HS? What was that like for you?
Chad: It was a great feeling. She doesn't like seeing the physical contact up close.

RBO:  Another 100 yard day receiving! Is Carson better than last year or are you just that good?
Chad: I'm just that good!

goBengals:So we know you're a risk taker, but what made you head-butt that Raven a couple weeks ago?
Chad: He was talking too much trash.

Marshall: You are now #3 on the Bengals all time receiving yardage list, what risks are you gonna have to take to get to #1?
Chad: It's really not a risk, I just have to continue working hard. Sacrifice, that's the risk. A lot of sacrifice.

Cincy: There's been a lot of criticism of the Bengals defense this year, how are your teammates feeling about being the first Cincinnati defense ever to go 7 quarters without allowing a point?
Chad: They're feeling good, very confident right now. Hopefully, we can continue carrying that confidence into Monday night.

Lind:Will this team be in the playoffs? Who dey! What changes will you make since last year's playoff slide?
Chad: Yeah, we will be in the playoffs. No changes will be made, we're going to stick with the same plans we've been doing.

angel: What do you love most about Paul Brown Stadium?
Chad: The food that Aramark serves.

Jerome:Chad, I heard you on Dan Patrick today, cool interview. ...just wondering, do you like talking to the media?
Chad: Yes, sometimes. But the key thing is to always remember the media isn't your friend. They'll talk good when you're doing well, but as soon as you mess up, they'll kill you.

pRiNcE: How are you going to spend the holidays this year?
Chad: In Denver, playing the Broncos.

snowgal: What's your favorite part about winter in Cincinnati? You miss the heat of MIA?
Chad: No, I like the cold for some strange reason.

Jimmycox12: Hey again Chad: )! Since u said u were talkin' to ur fans on xm thought I should talk as much as possible…I was wonderin' what's the show gonna be like for Monday…popcorn or a shocker?
Chad: A little bit of both.

shroomy: What's your favorite Cincinnati 'specialty'? Skyline, Greaters, LarosasŠ?
Chad: McDonald's!

Spiced: I read that you once mailed Pepto Bismol to Cleveland Brown's players before your big game, have you pulled other practical jokes on players you go up against? What's the best one? Any deodorant from your sponsor being sent to the Indy secondary?
Chad: Sometimes. The Pepto Bismol was over the line, so I won't do anything like that again.

dad24under10:Why have you been so quiet, is it because you see Ray Lewis when you are trying to catch the ball?
Chad: No, not at all. I've been talking.

LDD:  You've had so many good ones, do you have a favorite end zone celebration?
Chad: The Riverdance, that was a classic.

seelo: What's your biggest weakness on the field and off the field?
Chad: On the field, I don't have a weakness. Off the field, I don't have a weakness either. If I did, I wouldn't say it. That'd be giving it away!

AnotherChad: I love the song on your website. Tell me about it!
Chad: It's a little flavor before our Super Bowl run.

maginot:If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?
Chad: I wish I'd be able to see my kids more often during the season.

aardvark:In your eyes, what does it take to be a leader?
Chad: Someone that does everything the right way all of the time.

Libran:What do you do when you're bored in Cincy?
Chad: I'm always online playing Madden Football on 360 Xbox. My online name is CJMohawk85

FOND: Do you have any hidden talents?
Chad: No, I don't.

McChad: If a restaurant would name a menu item after you, what would it be, and what would it be called?
Chad: That's a good question! I'm not sure. It'd be up to the restaurant owner.

raccy: How do you feel about the upcoming Indy game? Does it mean a lot to face off against Marvin Harrison, who you've told us you really respect?
Chad: No, not really. I'm really just focused on making sure I do everything I can to make sure we come away with a win.

indigo: As a team, what's the biggest obstacle you guys are facing in the games you have left? What about you personally?
Chad: Our biggest obstacle is we just have to be consistent. Being consistent as an offense is all we have to worry about.

Tatin: You're breakin' and setting records all over the place? Do you keep up with the numbers? How important is it to you to hold these records?
Chad: It's not important at all. It's just through hard work, the records are being broken. So I guess that says a lot about the work I'm putting in.

LeShall: Is the pressure higher for Coach Lew and the team this year, opposed to last?
Chad: No, there is no pressure. We're going out there and having fun, that's it.

paulo: If there is one element of your game that needs improvement, what would it be?
Chad: Good question! My entire game as a whole. There is no one thing. My entire game can always improve.

Canbria: When you unveiled your Degree checklist in Newport, you promised the fans a huge season. What should the fans expect as the year comes to a close?
Chad: My goodness, it's been a huge season thus far. What more do you want?

shay: If you could name a cheering section in your honor at PBS, what would it be?
Chad: I'd name it Ocho Cinco's corner

carlton:Is Big Willie Anderson giving some intense speeches in the locker room? Have you stepped up with any pre or post game salutes to the team and are you a vocal team leader?
Chad: No, any time I'm talking, I'm talking trash. I let Big Willie and the other players handle the vocal stuff. I just go out and lead by example.

sweatshirt: Have your kids had a chance to see you play live this year? Do you really understand the "celebrity" that you are?
Chad: No, not really. They don't, it's kind of good. They think Dad's normal. Sometimes I have to feel normal. They have seen me play this year.

Sonny: Do you mind doing interviews with the media? Is there a certain sports reporter that sticks out that you enjoy talking with?
Chad: No, I don't mind doing interviews at all. I like Jim Rome.

JT0851: What was your favorite NFL team when you were in high school
Chad: The Dolphins, and actually they still are.

Hammertime80: Have you ever considered busting out some old MC Hammer moves after scoring a TD?
Chad: No! All the stuff I do is original, never been done before moves.

whodey: I toured the locker room last night at the Kicks for Kids Christmas party. Who is the biggest slob in the locker room? I have my theory.
Chad: I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't pay attention to the rest of the lockers except mine and the ones next to me. As long as they keep ours clean, it doesn't bring down our property value.

Jon:Do you think you guys will make the playoffs and if so how far do you think you will go?
Chad: I think we're going to make the playoffs. And I think we're going to win the Super Bowl.

Danny_Dehner:Would you like to spend your whole career with the Bengals? I know I want you to.
Chad: Yes, I would love to, but we all know the nature of the business.

whodey:      Who is your roommate for away games?
Chad: TJ

chadizmyhomeboi:  Hey Chad...first I want to take the time out and say I am a big fan of yours. My question is, what are your holiday plans and who do you plan on spending it with?
Chad: I'll be spending my holiday in Denver, because we play them the day before Christmas. Hopefully, Coach Lewis will give us Christmas off.

Jack:  What's your next hair style going to be?
Chad: I don't know, but if I do have one it won't be until next year.

cody_johnson: How many touchdowns do u think ull score?
Chad: As many as Carson throws.

church: Who do you see Cincy going through this year to make the Super Bowl. and who do you think Cincy will face in the Super Bowl?
Chad: I have no idea who's going to make it, the NFL is very crazy.

browns_4ever: Remember me?????????? I am the one with the bloody jersey in the front row of the dawg pound in Cleveland.
Chad: Yeah, I do remember! Hello!

Daniel: How many td's will you have against the Colts?
Chad: Again, as many as Carson throws.

james:  If u didn't have Carson for a qb, who else would u want to have?

Chad: The battle of Ohio!

Jimmycox12:What do u think bout the new celebration rule?
Chad: I just enjoy myself without breaking the rules.

bibek_singh: Who do you think is the funniest guy in the team, not counting yourself.
Chad: We have a lot of characters. Carson is pretty funny.

MollyMarshall: If you weren't a football player what would you be???
Chad: I'd be playing soccer somewhere in Europe.

Kristy85: Would you ever like to voice a cartoon?
Chad: Yeah, that'd be cool!

Rick: A lot of people are picking the Bengals to win out, does that effect the psyche of the team?
Chad: No, I'm really not paying any attention.

mikey:How long in the NFL do you wish to go?
Chad: Til I'm 50, or until they just throw me out!

Chad: No, not really. I give my input, but everyone has to remember they're their own man.

alex9000:Will the RCA dome crowd affect the no-huddle offense next week?
Chad: No. Playing in Iraq wouldn't effect our offense right now!

orngnblksince1970: Was the Charger loss the "final straw" that enabled the team to decide that "enough was enough" ?
Chad: Yes, that was our turning point.

browns_4ever: Was Leigh Bodden the only guy you couldn't mark off your list?
Chad: Leigh Bodden and Pittsburgh, the third week of the season.

andrealea21: What is your favorite receiving route to run?
Chad: Really, all of them. I love all the routes.

matts: What is the best football game you have ever played in?

Jes-c: What's your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist?
Chad: I listen to all types of music. My favorite artist is Jay-Z

Chad: No, don't like that one.

orngnblksince1970: You and T.J. seem to really complement each other, I don't consider him a #2 receiver, do you two look at each other as #1's?
Chad: Yes, we both know we're #1 receivers.

Chat Transcript November 24th BACK TO TOP

Chad: Thanks for checking out my chat. It's just one of the many cool things I have planned for you guys this season, so make sure you stay tuned.

mangan: Do you feel redeemed after scoring 5 touchdowns in two games?
Chad: Somewhat redeemed.

cardo: Any special skills you've yet to showcase during your touchdown celebrations?
Chad: No, I'm going to keep the celebrations mild until we go on a winning streak.

Jerome: How did it feel to break the Bengals receiving yardage record?
Chad: It was cool, but losing that day kind of dampened the record.

deshee: Did you do anything special during the Thanksgiving holiday?
Chad: No, nothing special except practiced that morning and ate later.

Indigo: What are you thankful for this year?
Chad: For one: life, life being the most important thing. And then my family second.

5luva: How does it feel coming off the last 2 weeks
Chad: It feels okay. I'm not too sad, not too happy, kind of in between. I won't be happy until we go on a winning streak.

cj4life: Chad, given the current standings, are you going to root for the Steelers to win on Sunday?
Chad: Yes, I sure am.

Ocho_Cinco_85: Chad do you have a special celebration for Joey and the Steelers in your rematch at home?
Chad: No, not yet. You're thinking ahead too far. I have to deal with Cleveland first.

5luva: Are you going to keep your head shaved?
Chad: Yes. After I lost the bet with DeAngelo, I can't grow it back.

stev0: How does it feel to have two great games?
Chad: It feels good.

MohawkMan: Congrats! You're back on top of the AFC receiving yards list - what has made the difference in your play the past two games?
Chad: I don't know, I really can't put my finger on it. But I've approached every week with the same type of preparation. It seems the past few weeks everything has just opened up for us offensively.

leeah: There's a lot of pressure to re-claim a winning record. How do you feel about the criticism of the Bengals these days? If you were a fan would you be upset?
Chad: If I was a fan, of course I'd be upset. Being a player with the expectations that we had coming into the season, we criticize ourselves more than they do on our side.

Chris: What did you feast on yesterday?
Chad: McDonald's.

loudshirt: If you could have any super power what would it be?
Chad: Being able to fly at any given time.

Oscar: How many TDs will you get next game?
Chad: I have no idea. Hopefully I can go on a streak of two every game from now on.

dali: If you could meet one person in the world, who would it be?
Chad: Bill Clinton.

Benj: There is all this buzz about a 'new Chad', (based on your tame TD celebrations and post-game attitudes). From your point of view, why are people saying that? Is it true, have you lost your risk appeal?
Chad: No, I don't know what they're talking about. Coach Lewis started that I don't know where he got it from. But it's still the same old Chad.

dali: Why do you want to meet Bill Clinton?
Chad: I don't know, I like him. He's the best president we ever had. I just want to meet him for some reason.

Mr_Pure: Who do you think would win in a wrestling match: Carson Palmer or Charlie Frye?
Chad: Carson; he's a lot stronger.

yardwork: You are on pace to break the yardage record you set last year, how are you staying focused and how much does it mean to you to beat your past records?
Chad: I just don't think about it. If I break it, I break it. It's a good thing, but you can't think about that stuff. You just have to go out and play.

CLewis: What does being a "team player" mean to you?
Chad: Doing everything within the team. Basically, it's doing your job.

Jerome: What is your favorite musician?
Chad: Right now it's Robin Thicke.

Michael: You seem to be using more subtle sarcasm lately with the press, who is your comedic inspiration?
Chad: Chad. I'm my own inspiration! I can't be too harsh with my comments right now because we're not winning like we should. I'm throwing in a little comedy here and there.

cj4life: With the tough schedule that we have to end the season, do you think that it is possible for the Bengals to win out, given that we have games at Indy and Denver left?
Chad: Yes, we have a great chance at it. All we have to do is just play great football toward the end of the season. We just have to play great football right now and we'll be fine.

HTHawk: What did you do differently to improve upon your slower start this year?
Chad: I didn't do anything differently. I just had to wait for my opportunity to come. I always start the season slow for some reason every year.

whodey: Tell us about your bulldogs? Do they stay with you in Cinci?
Chad: No, Popeye and Brutus are in Miami at my grandma's house. I should get a girl and name her Olive Oyl!

miked: Who do you think is giving you a run for best receiver in the league?
Chad: I have no idea, I haven't looked at any stats so I don't know who is doing what. I'm just focusing on doing my job and helping us win.

Chris: Do you have a woman these days?
Chad: Yeah.

ONE-FIVE_Baby: Chad I want to be in the NFL one day and I know speed plays a big part, so do you know the keys to getting faster?

Steve_Smith: How many yards will you get in the end of the season?
Chad: I don't know, I have no idea.

closeshave: Do you miss the Mohawk? Any other special hair styles fans should look out from you this season?
Chad: Not this season, probably next year there will be something else.

Ocho_Cinco_85: Chad I heard you had something really special for the dog pound this week. Are you actually going into the pound? After you score a TD?
Chad: Yeah, hopefully if I do score I'll be jumping into the pound. I'm waiting on them to toss me back out.

sinart: What's up next for TD celebrations? Are you out of ideas?
Chad: I don't know, I can't give it away. I can't tell you.

piffle: I hear Neon Deion is giving you inspiration for your TD celebrations, what's he been telling ya?
Chad: No, he doesn't give me inspirations for touchdown celebrations. Somebody's wrong about that one.

littleleaguer: There's a lot of criticism about players placing blame on each other for the recent losses, how is Marvin as a motivator?

Jerome: Does trash talking ever get in your head?
Chad: No, I do the trash talk, it can't get in my head.

lanai: Who is your team leader that's the voice of the locker room?
Chad: Willie Anderson.

mdevine: How you feel about us fans starting a petition so you don't get fined anymore?

Rocha: What kept the Bengals from beating the Falcons on Sunday? Do you think Mike Vick is really one of the league's top QBs?

Chad: No, just keep working hard at what you're doing.

NTB: Carson's looking timid and I think the offensive line's not holding ground for him - is there anything you can do with the QB or receiver coach to increase the quick slants?
Chad: Yeah, there are things we can do. But I don't think it's time to panic right now.

Chad: Breakfast. One of my favorite meals is Cream of Wheat. She makes the best Cream of Wheat ever.

Chadsastar: The Sports Illustrated story was great! Has your work with brands like Reebok and Degree deodorant helped raise your profile and make you a well-recognized athlete? Or would you only credit your on-field performance for your stardom?
Chad: My onfield performance has the most to do with it. But things like Reebok and Degree have also helped it.

Sam: How does Marvin's Baltimore D coordinator experience help the offence during preparation?

heyworth: Who is your favorite celebrity?

Chad: This is going to be so good this week that the game needs to be put on Pay Per View.

Chad: No, it's not hard, especially when those players play on the same side of the ball as you.

Drew: How great does it feel to win a close game like that against the panthers after you lost a heart breaker to the Bucs
Chad: Our backs were up against a wall. To win a game like that was like a breath of fresh air. It's like a new start for us.

Soccerguy: I know you're a pro-bowler, are teams doubling you up or something? Does having Henry out affect the way defenses are guarding you guys?
Chad: No, it doesn't matter what they do defensively. My time and my opportunities will come.

pato: What do you think of the recent violence in football - the Miami, Florida International brawl and Albert Haynesworth of the Titans? This shouldn't belong in football. Have you ever been around that in a game before?
Chad: I've never really been around it before, but they're unfortunate incidents when things go wrong. You get caught in the emotions of the game.

farfar: As a fan, the wait between games is sometimes unbearable. What is it like as a player, especially when you have no injury or soreness you're trying to heal and you just want to go out and play?

Chad: I have no idea.

Miamimama: What would be your ideal vacation spot?

Chat Transcript October 17th BACK TO TOP

Chad: Thanks for checking out my chat. It's just one of the many cool things I have planned for you guys this season, so make sure you stay tuned.

the_2_joes: Who is the toughest cornerback you have ever faced?
Chad: Nobody.

marco: What does it mean to play against one of your best friends in the league, Steve Smith? Are you going to be extra hungry to face off against him?
Chad: Yeah. I talked to him today for about an hour about the game this Sunday. We both can't wait.

RicoG: How often do you have to shave your hair to keep the Mohawk look?
Chad: Every Saturday.

THEREV81: Are you and Terrell Owens friends?
Chad: Yeah, we talk every day also.

englewood85: Dear 85, when you burn D. Hall are you gonna dance like 'Primetime"? ('Cause I want to see it.)
Chad: That's exactly the celebration that would fit perfectly after scoring on him.

engelj: Do you think people are overreacting to the 3-2 record when other good teams have similar records?
Chad: Yeah, the reason people are overreacting is because so much is expected of us after coming off an 11-5 season. And after winning the division, we're not expected to be 3-2.

engelj: How much have injuries affected the team's play?
Chad: In a way you can make an excuse about injuries, but it's something that all 32 teams deal with and we can't use injuries as a crutch or a reason why we're not winning.

squirtweed: Hey Chad, how does the offensive line play in getting you the "long ball"?
Chad: The line has to protect Carson so he's allowed to throw the long ball.

engelj: Do you try to be a positive influence on teammates like Chris Henry?
Chad: Yes, I try to be. I tell them the wrong and the right of playing the game.

tectonix: Have you talked with T.O. about being doubled and tripled, seems like he's going through the same thing, and like Houshmanzadeh and Henry, Glenn is getting a lot of balls thrown his way. How does T.O. feel about it, and what advice does he give to you?
Chad: We feel the same way, the funny thing about the situation is that that this is nothing new. We've always been double and triple teamed but our organization has always found a way to get us the ball. We talk about being patient. Like TO this weekend had 3 touchdowns. Very soon, my time is coming too.

DaddyCincinnati: Is there something special you do after a tough loss to get your head straight, or do you just shake it off?
Chad: I don't do anything special but there's a 24 hour period where you think about everything you did right and everything you did wrong. After that 24 hour period, you let the last game go.

Whitney: What do you think is the biggest misconception about you, Chad?
Chad: That I'm arrogant.

Matt: Is the loss of Chris Henry bigger than everyone thought? I feel he has Randy Moss type qualities and could be huge for this offense. What are your thoughts about his services.
Chad: He's exactly like Randy Moss, high speed, and a huge huge plus for this offense. He's going to make it a lot easier for myself and Rudy. Having him in there makes it easier for the offense.

turk: R u married or playin' the field?  lol
Chad: I'm single and the only field I play is on Sundays.

richie: HOW DID YOU SPEND YOUR OFF DAY TODAY?
Chad: Getting treatment on my shoulder because it's messed up.

WandaC: Do you use Degree?
Chad: Of course, Wanda.

Spiiin: What was the toughest part of the loss to the Bucs?
Chad: Putting up 13 points. There's no reason to be scoring 13 points a game when we averaged almost 28 points a game last year.

Nestor: What are you guys going to do to get ready for the Panthers?
Chad: I won't know until we put the game plan in tomorrow.

Risky: Do you consider yourself a risk taker?
Chad: Every time I open my mouth!

brazilia: Where does your inspiration come from for your touchdown celebrations?
Chad: Just wanting to be the best. Touchdown celebrations I just think of things that are very creative that won't get me in trouble.

the_2_joes: Hey Chad who is the toughest hitter in the NFL?
Chad: Ray Lewis.

the_2_joes: Who inspired u to play football?
Chad: It was either soccer or football. Football was the way I had to go.

BDD: What is more important - personal stats or winning a Super Bowl?
Chad: Super Bowl. I'll take a Super Bowl any day.

MickeyD: What is your favorite thing to cook at home?
Chad: I don't cook, I go to McDonald's.

adam: Do you think you are the best receiver in the game?
Chad: Of course.

Bogginred: What made you decide you wanted number 85 on your jersey?
Chad: That was the only number available when I got here.

rocky: I've heard you love soccer - any chance you'd pursue an MLS career if you weren't in the NFL?
Chad: Probably not MLS, but I'd probably be in Europe playing for one of the pro teams out there.

ChadRox: Was it hard to re-focus when Levi Jones and Rich Braham got injured? Do you think it will affect Carson?
Chad: It shouldn't. Teams have these types of injuries all the time and the backups are able to step in and play just as well.

Benny_Dojo: That Blonde in the NFL Replay commercial is hot, did you get to go on a date with her?
Chad: No.

readerj: What are you going to work on to get the offense going for next week?
Chad: Being precise in everything I do all week. That's all I can do.

bengalsdud9: What are you going to do this week in practice to make sure you have a breakout game on Sunday?
Chad: The same thing I do every week. Work hard, practice hard. But with three people on you, it's hard to have breakout games.

Benny_Dojo:   I know Carson Palmer is a pocket passer, but how come we haven't see as many roll-outs and shotgun formations on 1st and 2nd down?
Chad: I've been asking myself the same question.

Sam: How many single coverage did you get Sunday against Tampa Bay?
Chad: 4 plays, I actually caught 4 of those balls.

WhoDeyLori: When are you going to get on Dancing with the Stars? You would be amazing!
Chad: I would, I just don't have the time right now.

dshawn:  Consistency of starters at the offensive line position, and in some ways the entire offense has been an issue this season, how are you going to try to fix that?
Chad: I don't have an answer for the offensive line. All I can control is what I do at Wide Receiver. That's a good question though.

Craig: Chad keep doing what your doing you will get yours! Are you looking forward to being on the field this Sunday with Steve Smith and Key? If you want to get ran in some Madden look me up!
Chad: I'm looking forward to playing both of them. It's been a long time since I've seen Steve and haven't seen Key in a couple years, since I played him when he was with Tampa.

Hammertime80: Hey Chad, what are your plans after retirement?
Chad: I'm going to be a stripper. ;-)

Joe: Chad, I have to say you have kept your cool about not getting as many balls as usual, and I think that is a testament to your professionalism and class. Keep it up. The kids need someone to look up to.
Chad: Thank you. It is very, very, very, very hard trying to keep my cool.

bstar: Who are the top 5 receivers in the league including yourself?
Chad: Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt, Terrell Owens, and Steve Smith.

cj85orlando: Hey Chad, who is the main person that you look to as a mentor now?

Hammertime80: Who was your favorite NBA player growing up?
Chad: Jordan, of course.

Andraes:  I can tell you're frustrated, what are you going to do to get through it?
Chad: Keep my mouth shut and keep on working. That's all I can do.

Eightball15: What's the most recent movie you have seen in theaters and did you like it?
Chad: I haven't been to the movies in a while, but I need to go see Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

OnFieldSecurity: Nice interview with Rome. Who is your favorite reporter to talk to?
Chad: I like all of them.

goBengals: Did losing to the Bucs inspire the team?
Chad: I won't know until I see the way everyone is in practice tomorrow morning.

batman: How did you like midnight madness? Think UC will be any good this year or do they need 85's sweet jumper?
Chad: Nah, I'm sure they'll be fine. That wouldn't be good, because I can't shoot no jumper.

Blake: Of the rest of the games who are you looking forward to playing the most?
Chad: DeAngelo Hall, that's the only game I'm looking forward to.

flynnmd28: How will Chris Perry help the offense if he is activated this week?
Chad: Chris Perry is no different from a Reggie Bush.

gibbs12dotcom: Do you still have your pink Cadillac?
Chad: I don't know why everyone calls it a Cadillac. It's not a Cadillac, it's a 1971 Chevrolet Caprice. And of course I still have it.

jgross85: What is your game-day car?
Chad: The bus, it gives me enough time to think about what I need to do.

chris: Ever thought about doing the Rerun What's Happening pop lock dance after you score...with a puff of smoke of course?

blondtoo: You're 3-2, and a long way to go, are your spirits up?
Chad: Of course.

Whitney:  If you have an iPod, what songs are on it now?
Chad: Everything you could think of from rock to R&B to pop, and rock and roll. You name it, I got it.

bengalsdud9: You mentioned before you played soccer. Were you good enough to pursue it at all?
Chad: Of course the whole point is that I was young and I wasn't as good as I could be, but neither was I in football. But if I worked at it. I probably would have become a pro soccer player.

jgross85: If you could break one record in the NFL, what would it be?
Chad: Most Super Bowl appearances.

Degree: Chad, thanks for answering so many questions tonight! Any last comments, before we have to close?

ali:  If you weren't playing football right now, what do you think you would have done with your life?

Onerican21: Is there going to be any more great celebrations this season?

ladydi: I know you love McDonalds, what do you usually order?
Chad: A No. 1, extra cheese, no onions and a Hi-C Orange with no ice.

tammi: How does your family feel about your success? Have they always supported what you do?

Chad: The only thing that Peyton has on Carson is NFL experience. That's it.

PRon: Do you think there was some learnings from that game that will make you guys stronger for the remaining parts of the season?

Chad: He's very good, but we're completely different types of receivers altogether We complement each other very well.

ucbc: Who dey think gonna cover Chad...seriously who is the best corner you have ever faced?

peterd: Who is your biggest idol / role model/
Chad: Oprah Winfrey.

seethrough: What did you think about your performance last week?
Chad: It wasn't good enough. As far as I'm concerned, no matter what I do on Sunday it won't be good enough for me because my standards are high.

PND: Do you think the bye weeks are important, or would you rather keep playing?

folderol: Saw you at Kroger last week -- what's your book called again?
Chad: I CAN'T BE STOPPED.

Chat Transcript September 26th BACK TO TOP

Chad: Two weeks ago, September 15.

Benny Dojo: What was your favorite NFL team growing up?
Chad: TheMiami Dolphins

CP crazyfly: Has anyone told you that you look like Wesley Snipes as Simon Pheonix in Demolition Man?
Chad: Yes, I get that from everywhere; keep hearing it.

CHAD man: How did your checklist start?
Chad: It started last year, I just thought it was a good way to challenge everybody. Instead of talking trash week after week, I made a checklist so week after week that'd be my way of talking to everybody. One stomp.

Go Bengals: What game on your schedule are you looking forward to most right now, and why?
Chad: Atlanta Falcons, October 29 because of D Hall.

darcelle: What's the beef you have with D'Angelo Hall?
Chad: Because he has self proclaimed himself the best cornerback in the NFL and he has not earned it.

fansgalore:   Hi Chad! Can you tell us your pre-game routine?
Chad: Wake up in the morning, go to eat at McDonald's. I get to the stadium about 11:00. I get in the hot tub for 5 minutes, I get in the cold tub for 3 minutes, then I get back in the hot tub. I get a massage in the training room. Then about 12:00 I go out and run routes with Carson.

leenie: What player did you look up to when you were young?
Chad: The Marks Brothers - Mark Clayton and Mark Duper.

Diz:    How did you feel about the Saints winning in their return to the Superdome?

CP crazyfly: Whats with the Mohawk, 85?
Chad: Just something different, just felt like doing it this year. That's all.

Patrick: Do numbers mean anything to you or is it all about winning the Super Bowl, because you only had 1 catch against the Steelers but it was obvious since you are a player that needs 2 to cover you it leaves your other team mates to be wide open most of the day.
Chad: It's fine. I think I've accomplished everything I could in my career. Right now, the most important thing is the Super Bowl.

Roosh0: What made you decide to get a Mohawk? And why gold?

STEEL: I read that you gave someone a Mohawk at some event - is that really true?
Chad: Yeah, it was on my checklist, I cut a Mohawk.

Patrick: If you could have any player in the NFL from any other team on your team who would it be?
