He said he has lots of money as a result of his other business ventures and is now playing "to be a part of something".

well, he has the right attitude then. I wish him luck.

 

It would be good for the league actually, i just am not convinced he will be that great up here.

Depends on what kind of quarterbacking they get as well. If this was AC 5 years ago....

and if this was Chad Johnson 5 years ago too.

Chad definitely doesn't have money issues - or atleast the perception he has put out there would leave one to believe that. He doesn't drink, and he has always called himself cheap. Literally the only hit on him throughout his NFL career was the arrest after allegedly headbutting his wife. A big hit, obviously, but a lot of people mistake his persona on the field for a raging party drug life off the field, which is the furthest thing from the proof.

That marriage was a gong show on both sides. 

This is Joe Popp exacting revenge on the Als for hiring Higgins. 

 

Chad Huit-Cinq??

 

Chad Eight-Five?

 

 

 

The direct translation for Ocho cinco is "Huit cinq."  Ochenta y cinco would've been Chad's name had he wanted to make any sense.

Montreal can't officially sign him until next month. That would make him Ocho Cinco de Mayo.

We are a league noted for second and third chances . . .

 

Ya, in the early 80's we gave Vince Ferragamo another chance to show what a crappy QB he was

 

Was chad ever really a physical force though? I think he's more of a cerebral receiver which could help him at his age do OK for himself up here... But I'm with who ever doesn't think he's going to be that good

Ferragamo was a straight pocket passer who couldn't avoid the rush. Typical of the NFL qbs of that era. Looking at the vid I saw of Johnson on CFL.ca... It looks like he can still create separation with his coverage. If he stays healthy he could do very well up here. From everything I've read about the guy he's never been a diva in the locker room & he works hard at practice. Doesn't take any plays off either in games... He yaps on social media but so what?

Wasn't Terrell Owens a non drinker also and he's flat out broke.....     most athletes who go broke usually blow the money on poor investments....

Owens was never called a great teammate. He had issues with just about every qb he played with. Johnson has a huge ego no doubt but he never criticized his teammates. I think if anyone can make the transition to the CFL it's Johnson.

Yeah he blew it on investments he said. Also paid child support to three women for children he wanted nothing to do with, so I am not surprised that he wound up broke. Careless individual.

@ArashMadani: Basic cap hit. RT @alexmarvez: The 1-year contract that Chad Johnson signed with Montreal Alouettes is worth $70K in Canadian funds. #CFL

@ochocinco: Work permit north of the border granted...

@ochocinco: Canadian government loves me now...

@ochocinco: @MTLAlouettes We made it.... (Drake voice)

He may be good for the league if he watches his tweets & language.

Aaaand.....what are the chances of that?

Apparently Chad is a fan of Walmart and McDonalds ... who knew?

 

It's awesome, they have Mcdonalds in Walmart and everybody is nice. RT @_SportsDiva35_: Hows @ochocinco doing over there in Montreal?

How does he stay in such good shape eating McDonalds all the time?

Funny related story... a girl on our football team who is quite tiny eats double macs all the time.  Orders two big macs and only has one bun.  Calls it half carbing it.  Also only bits half the fry and throws out the rest.  Also works her ass off.  If that's what you eat, you just have to work harder, she says

You can get away with that until the age of 30 hits you like a mack truck.
