Some Chad Johnson quotes are below:

"Wide receiver Chad Johnson said Packers cornerback Al Harris will offer his toughest challenge this season, but that didn't stop him from being… well, Chad Johnson. "There are two things for Brother Harris this week," Johnson told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "The bad thing is, he has to cover me. The good is, he can save 15 percent by switching his insurance to Geico"

""(Commissioner Paul) Tagliabue and most of the suits in this league are all old school, and I really don't think they're for the end-zone celebrations," Johnson says. "But I know in the back of their minds they are laughing. They can't wait to see what No. 85 is going to do next."

There's the laminated cornerback checklist — "Who Can Cover 85 in 2005?" — hanging inside his Paul Brown Stadium locker. Asked during a recent conference call if anyone can cover him, Johnson cracked: "The IRS. They've been on me for quite a while."

"Whoever does that needs a new contract. There's nothing you can do defensive that's going to stop me. Shannon: Let's take a look at some of your celebration. What's this right here?
CJ: ...That's the Riverdance.
SS: So is that going to be your signature?
CJ: No. Every week, something different. Something every week to keep everybody on the edge of their seat - What is 85 going to do next?
CJ: The relationship with Cincinnati is my responsibility.
SS: Chad Johnson for Mayor?
CJ: You're lucky I don't run for President.
SS (in CJ's home): Pictures on the wall, what do they represent? Is that your first Pro Bowl?
CJ: I like to look at that stuff. It continues to keep me humble.
SS: You need a bigger place, don't you?
CJ: No. I like nice and small and comfortable. I don't need much.
SS: Bare essentials: TV, video game, little music. What do you do with the dumb bells?
CJ (flexing): Man, you don't see it?
SS: You're watching a tape of your upcoming opponent. Tell me what you're looking for?
CJ: All right. First, I see first down, second down and third down. See what coverage we get. I go from maybe about the 10 to 30 or 30 to 50. Closer you get to the goal line where they're going to be in. I just take it like that.
SS: I saw the list in your locker room today. Who will cover Chad Johnson? Right now you have three check marks on the no sign, none on the yes.Some of his quotes are below:

"Wide receiver Chad Johnson said Packers cornerback Al Harris will offer his toughest challenge this season, but that didn't stop him from being… well, Chad Johnson. "There are two things for Brother Harris this week," Johnson told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "The bad thing is, he has to cover me. The good is, he can save 15 percent by switching his insurance to Geico"

"Last night, I felt like I wished I wasn't Chad Johnson. Last night, I felt like I wished I wasn't good. I had to keep from crying on the sideline because I wished I wasn't that good because I wouldn't be getting the attention I'm getting. I just want to catch the ball, that's it.''

“I’m gonna say something right now. I’m gonna say something, so y’all come closer so you can hear,” Johnson told reporters at his locker. “You ready for this one? I only had two catches on Sunday. I guarantee it. You can look at the box score. Two receptions for twenty-two yards. I was a total nonfactor. You can print that, too.”
    In addition, Johnson guaranteed that his team did not score 40 points like he guaranteed they would last week."

“I’m afraid it’s going to be Mr. Bly,” Johnson had said, and he did fry Bly for the touchdown, and he did spring running back Rudi Johnson for his 16-yard touchdown off a draw play with 11:01 left on a hellacious block on the perimeter.

“It’s like being married,” said Chad Johnson in explaining why he always seems to come up big after he has off days. “You know you’re in fights that you’re going to lose, but you always come back to something good.”

On the highway, I hit a deer," Johnson said Tuesday, insisting he was serious and that the animal wasn't hurt. "I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the celebration this weekend. He's a prop. They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it."

Even if Johnson is serious -- and, with him, there's no telling -- coach Marvin Lewis would certainly put his foot down. So Johnson's scheme may never get beyond the talking stage.

He wasn't joking about his desire to come up with a celebration that will keep fans talking long after the Bengals' last regular-season home game.

Fans in Detroit booed when he merely handed the ball to an official following his touchdown during a 41-17 victory Sunday that clinched the AFC North title. It was only the second time this season that he didn't celebrate a touchdown -- the other came when the officials needed time to decide if he had scored, spoiling the moment.

"But this Saturday, I'll be back to my old self," he said. "You can look forward to the celebration being part of something that has to do with Christmas. It's going to be fun. I might get in trouble, so I might as well let that out now. I might get in trouble for what I'm going to do, but it's worth it."

Johnson was excited by the thought of getting a deer into the end zone routine. His Riverdance brought him national attention as a hoofer. Now, he's fixated on hooves.

"This is going to be the greatest celebration of all time, man," he said. "I actually use an animal."

"They took away the [touchdown] celebrations. Now we can't enjoy ourselves outside of the facility? That's not fair," Johnson said.

"If you're going to do it, do it very cautiously. If you're going to ride a bike, ride it the right way. Don't speed. Do it for enjoyment. If you're going to bungee jump, have two cords in case one snaps. I don't ride anything. I just talk trash. That's it."
