Now more than ever

Friday, October 15, 2004

Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson sent a bottle of Pepto-Bismol to each of the Browns' starting defensive backs. The gift included a note which, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, read "Just wanted to add a little color and relief to your week. All the best, Chad. #85."

The prank was shrugged off by the teams' coaches as fun between friends, but Browns DL Kenard Lang was upset with Johnson's antics. "It's all fun and humor, but personally on that first play I'd get a flag," Lang said. "I'd jump on him. Not saying to hurt him or nothing, but to let him know that this is how I eat, this is my game, this is how I live. Point blank. . .It's all fun and all, but say hypothetically speaking he does well. Everybody would be laughing at you. 'Oh he sent you Pepto Bismol and he still whipped your butt?' No, that ain't happening."

Any wonder why football is "America's Game"?
