Jay Glazer is backing PFT's story as well now although he said some arms went flaling inadvertently. Regardless I believe this did happen. Whole situation is pathatic and I have lost some respect for Chad and Marvin if this is true.

Re: Chad Johnson skirmish with coaches at halftime?
Originally posted by p2xgamersI still don't see why Chad wouldn't of been benched if this happened, makes no sense whatsoever, especially considering the type of coach Marvin is.
I can't recall many instances where coaches benched players mid-game.Comment

Originally posted by joebooIn my eyes, it's simple. The best chance Cincy had at winning was with CJ in the game. Winning trumps that stuff all the time.

Re: Chad Johnson skirmish with coaches at halftime?
Originally posted by p2xgamersYeah but we are talking about throwing a punch and considering Chad's lackluster performance in the 1st half...I don't know it just seems too out there and no "official" confirmations.
The punch part is where I think it might be a little off. My guess is something happened and CJ had to be seperated from his WR coach. However, I don't think he threw any punchs. Maybe just pushing and shoving.
I don't see Boomer lying about this. He's one of the biggest Cincy homers around and I doubt he would want to make the team or CJ look bad. Even www.bengals.com had a blurb about it (although not as detailed).

But Esiason does have concerns about the Chad Johnson incident and the Bengals defense, and he feels both are serious obstacles for the club.
Even though Johnson denied the report on profootballtalk.com, Esiason is convinced that Johnson had some kind of an altercation with wide receivers coach Hue Jackson and Lewis at halftime of last Sunday’s game and that it contributed to the second-half meltdown. He says Lewis has to meet this challenge as decisively as he’s met any other in Cincinnati.
“Chad doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, but it’s all about controlling his emotions. If he went after a coach, something significant has to happen,” Esiason said. “One guy can’t have that kind of autonomy if Marvin is going to get this team where they want to go.”Comment

Man what a tough week for the Bengals.
I agree with you Joe that all signs point to an altercation but I don't think it was as serious as people are making it out to be. If there were punches thrown I don't think for one second that Marvin Lewis plays Chad in the second half. Playoff game or not.
Man with this and the Palmer injury this week has felt like I have been repeatedly stomach punched!!!"The academic support at Ohio State, there is no way you can fail. Even if you're giving minimal effort there is no way you can fail."
