I'm not saying the NFL shouldn't let him do it. I'm saying he should apply for permission through the proper channels, and if permission is denied, he should abide by the ruling.

It's not like this is a free-speech issue. Players have no freedom of speech in the NFL context. The NFL and Bengals organization are fully within their rights to prohibit him from taking this action if they deem it detrimental to their interests.

He should wear a tearaway jersey of his own on the top and Chris Henry under it. The first play of the game he gets the ball and gets his jersey ripped off.... tribute complete.

Or, how about not wearing the jersey and drawing attention to himself, and just donate to the family in private and let them grieve for a bloody game or two?

I don't see this as a way for Chad to garner attention to himself, I see this as a way to have 15 on the field one last time in honor of his friend. Maybe I'm a sucker for the good side of people, but I will assure you this. I'd rather be that sucker, than the prick who knocks people's positive efforts down.

From Chad JOHNSON, a self-less act? Maybe if this was a once off. C'mon, he changed his name to his jersey number for crying out loud.

I'm not saying he's purposely doing it for himself only. I would imagine he'd be thinking "what can *I* do to honour Chris?" rather than "maybe if I wore his number so soon it would draw too much attention upon myself". He seems like the type of egotist who doesn't even know how narcissistic he is. But don't for a second think it's all about Chris Henry.

What? So because Chad Ochocinco doesn't think like you he's narcissistic and an egotist? What?!

Floop that, man. It's not about Chad. It's about the No Fun League, forgetting that it's a business that makes money off of grown men who PLAY A GAME. A. FUCKING. GAME.

Chad knows this, and sees his 'brothers' death as an opportunity to make the ultimate tribute to him and 'stick it to the man'.

Ya Chad is all about the Ego and money thats why he takes people on shopping sprees or every city he goes to he tells people where hes going to be eating and invites them to join. I also bet you didn't know that for every fine he gets he also matches it and donates it to charity. But your right its all about him :(

I have to ask this if DD did the things Chad does would you say he had an ego or would you say he is having fun playing football and enjoying the fans that pay his salary?


Also what about when Sean Taylor was killed i could of sworn they let players wear the 25 jersey or whatever number it was and i know for damn sure they let them put the sticker on their helmets which is a violation by the nfl. Let him wear the damn jersey already. I am sure Chad will find a way to get it out there. He might just send the nfl the check early.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

How about a #15 patch on the sleeve just like when anyone else passes away. All this talk about fines and auctions to make a game out of the nfl rules is pretty disgusting. I'm sure he isn't thinking about self promotion this time but the bottom line is that he takes away from Henry by putting the attention on himself if he does this. I've never had a problem with any of Chads stuff before but someone really needs to tell him to back off this time. No games, no theatrics, no sideshow this time. He's either stuid, ignorant or extremely selfish if he doesn't realize this already.

I can just see a big circus next week.

"NFL Fines Chad!!!"

"Hear Chad in his 15 interviews this week discuss Henry and the fines!!!"

"Chads #15 jersey set to go on Ebay with the proceeds going to Henry's family!!!"

"Chad lines up 15 more interviews to talk about how he felt it was his duty to show the family respect by doing this.........for the children!!!"

Give me a fucking break. Donate the rest of the money you budgeted for fines to the family instead of the nfl, don't make a show about it and try to fund raise to help the family maybe. Thats it.

The sport is getting too sensational, sorry. If you want to donate money to the memorial fund, do it but don't make a game out of it. At some point, you have to adhere to the rules of the game and the league. You knew the rules when you signed on, this rule hasn't changed since then. If you don't like it, do something else with your life.

Personally, I think that equipment violations like this should be ejectable in most cases.

The rules are plenty and more than needed. Plummer wasn't allowed to honor Tillman,

"Porforis" wrote:



Excuse me!! Tilman was a guy who gave up millions of dollars to do something he believed in, while defending our safety and freedom at war and who was needlessly killed by friendly fire. Henry jumped or fell off of a pick up truck. Regardless of the circumstances, plummer didnt make a sideshow out of it and neither should Chad in this instance. Chad is trying to cope with the loss by making a show out of it.

For ONE GAME, why not let him do it? What's the big deal?

"Cheesey" wrote:



It's not a big deal unless the nfl is going to fine him which they likely will. The point is that the attention is being taken away from Henry(where it should be) on to Chad(where it should not be). Thats really the only point. The issue of changing your number is a non issue in my opinion.

I agree with Gravedigga (never thought I'd see the day). I don't think he should wear the jersey. Something about it just doesn't seem right. And it's never good if something creates a rift between the NFLPA and the league.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
