Really Keyshawn?

[dudebro]

So, I woke up started looking on the news and I seen a link about Chad & His Wife. She says she is filing for a divorce after 6 weeks of being married to Chad. She said he needs help. Well, I'm not taking any sides but I feel she wants money and I don't believe he would do anything like that, but who knows he may have. Also, read Keyshawn Johnson blames the Bengals for Chads troubles. Here is what I have to say. Your a grown man playing in the NFL which we all have dreamed of playing in. You make your own decisions, so why blame a team for your decisions? You can't cause like I said, Being a man and the decisions you make in life are your choice. Don't try to blame anyone else for what you've done.

While I don't think the Bengals are to blame for his antics and such, I do think they helped facilitate them. If he were here now and tried to pull some of his stunts, I don't think the locker room would have it. The team he played on here was full of "me first" attitudes. This team is the most selfless Bengals team I have ever seen and they all seem to get the big picture.

I totally agree with you. I know Chad wanted to have fun while playing, but he never had anything like that over his head while he was here.

Bingo.



Also, I'll throw in that it is unlikely she filed for divorce on the account of money, because the way it works... you get half (actually depends on the state) of the marital assets from the start of the marriage. Or in other words, she only gets half of what she and him made in the last, what, 47 days, which I doubt is that much (relatively speaking). That being said, alimony could be considered, too.

I mean it could totally be for money, but I doubt the financial incentive has really vested at this point.

It's Chip Morton, Carson Palmer, and the ghost of Bigfoot's fault.

You seen that huh

TMZ sayz:
LINK

Chad Johnson is no stranger to domestic violence -- TMZ has learned the former NFL star was secretly found guilty of battering a woman in 2000 ... 12 years before he allegedly struck again.

According to court records obtained by TMZ, Johnson was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery in L.A. on February 7, 2000 ... just before he began playing football for Oregon State University.

Chad was thrown in jail for domestic abuse BEFORE he played football...Bengals are NOT to blame.

I know that is the case in Florida because that is where I got married 13 years ago. They make you read a little book (at least they did in 99') explaining the marital laws and crap. Basically the only thing that can be divided is what was made during the marriage.

Keyshawn sounds like an idiot trying to pass the buck. A man takes responsibility for his actions.

If I were him I would not sign any divorce papers and file myself for an Annulment. No point in going through lengthy divorce proceeding when they have been married less than 60 days.

That would be an option.

He'll have to prove that the marriage is "void" or "voidable" under the eyes of the law. I didn't follow the whole stupid saga, so I don't know if there are any aspects to their relationship that would match the criteria. My best guess is since his marriage is ending in a vary public domestic abuse scandal (whether he did it or not), his lawyer would have a very difficult time proving either "void" or "voidable". Domestic abuse doesn't fit in the criteria, and he'd have to show the marriage is actually ending for very different reasons.

You think if a young man went to a school and played for Bobby Knight compared to most other schools he would be the same player four years later????

Depends on if he could prove that the marriage was more of a publicity stunt than marriage with all the reality TV. The one Rapper had both of his done that way so there is cases to base it on.

I wouldn't entirely blame the Bengals for Chad becoming the Ochomonster he became. But if I remember correctly Marvin said last pre-season he 'should have been more strict with Chad' basically in letting him get away with stuff. That was when Caldwell and Jerome came on the practice field wearing different color shorts or shoes or something, similar to what Chad did, and Marvin made them go back in to change. Once Chad was gone, he wasn't going to let that sort of little stuff happen again.

So could Marvin and the Bengals for that matter have helped to prevent Ocho from trying to be bigger than the team and the game itself? Sure they could have done some things to nip some of his antics in the bud so to speak. But they couldn't prevent everything either as Chad has to be blamed for becoming what he became.

And being that Chad has been one giant publicity stunt since his career began... maybe the case won't be so hard after all.

I think shes all out for the money, but who knows Chad is probably a bit crazy.

But who isn't a little crazy?
