people on here must not realize he was a very good friend with Henry and his family so did you ever think he talked to the family about it already?

Chad is doing what we all think about the NFL and thats make a joke of some of the rules.

here is an example on how much of an asshole the nfl has become. This was from the sean taylor death. btw is Clark doing it for his ego ?

Steelers safety Ryan Clark was fined $5,000 by the NFL for wearing eye black with the No. 21 etched into it. Clark said he did it to honor his late Redskins teammate Sean Taylor, who was murdered in his Florida home last year. Is the NFL overstepping its bounds with unnecessary fines

Here is the link and maybe people should read the posters comments

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I love Ocho, have loved him all the time, even through his 2008 season when most people categorized him as a Terrell Owens. Because he was Henry's friend, he should know this is probably not the time to start making jokes.

This is a placeholder

I don't see the big deal. If its only one game. If I was Chris Henry's family, I would love to see Chad score a touchdown while wearing Chris Henry's jersey. To me it would mean a lot more than just a patch. But that is only my opinion.

Am I the only one who sees the humor in dhazer defending Chad Johnson against charges of ego?

Odd how you're willing to lodge charges of egotism against a man who does nothing but shrink away from attention, while you defend against those same charges a man who loves to draw attention to himself. You are an odd duck, Dave.

Not really. I got that when he defended Matt Cassel while scolding Aaron Rodgers.

But Dave, first of all, no one mentioned that he's doing this for the money, so your shopping sprees and what not only confirm that he loves the publicity, more so than anything else.

No one has a problem with his intentions, it's only that his ways are wrong. And it's not too weird to think that he might have some selfish reasons behind it.

The NFL will allow some patches. I asume the NFL will allow some kind of tribute, as well. Something at half time, for instance. With a bit of communication between the NFLPA and the NFL, I'm sure that he's allowed to do something himself in the end zone.

I'm pretty sure that they allow a hand on your heart and a kis upstairs. It's the classy thing to do. Like everyone does, really.

That the NFLPA supports this is just ridiculous.

I'm confident the words would be different if it was someone other than Chad doing this.

I think it'd be neat to see him don the 15, but I think donning the 15 in practice would sufficiently suffice. If he obtained permission from the NFL before making this public, it'd be different. But saying he was going to do it, knowing it's against the rules, well, it gives the idiots reason to come out in flocks and discredit his motive.

The number on a jersey is pretty huge. Chad is a very creative guy, hopefully he finds a less severe method of honoring his fallen friend, regardless of how that friend passed.

the thing is why the reason for fining people for paying respect to a fellow player, what does it actually hurt? i mean since hitler took over as commish the nfl is going down hill imo. fining clark 5 grand for wearing eye tape with taylors number on it, fining a guy for celebrating on the sideline where in the rule book says you can.

i wonder if godell and Ted Thompson are related because both love the power.

I believe the reason is to set a precedent that you must follow the rules, regardless of the circumstances. Reason for that is because if they bend the rule for this or for that, it could open up a lot of issues in the future. Just like if you let one kid break a small rule for a good reason, other kids will want to break the rule for what they feel is a good reason.

I understand (I think) them, I just don't agree with them.

Yea, the main thing is to not make a spectacle out of it. Hey, if the NFL says go ahead Chad, do whatever you like, wear a pink jersey, wear no jersey, go out there naked, whatever. If they give him the ok, go right ahead. But there is a time and place to stand up or make a statement to the nfl on their rules and it's not this week.

Also, can someone clarify for me what Chad wants to do. I'm assuming that he wants to wear the #15 Jersey with Henrys name on it? Or does he want to change his number to #15 for one game and have his own name on it? I'm assuming that there is no rule prohibiting you from changing your jersey number regardless what time of the year it is..........right?
