Ocho Stinko shoves league employee - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board

Try as agent Drew Rosenhaus might to keep the efforts of Bengals receiver Chad Johnson to finagle a trade out of town behind the scenes,

the player known in this space as Ocho Stinko can't avoid wearing his emotions on his sleeves.

And that puts his career on the same trajectory as T.O., circa 2005.

Owens wanted out of Philly, and Rosenhaus opted to go public with it. The campaign pushed the Eagles into a corner,

and resulted in an ill-advised Plan B, which was premised on Owens being a complete pain in the butt until he got his way.

For Johnson, we've believed ever since his romp down radio row that, regardless of any efforts to the contrary,

Johnson eventually is going to engage in behavior that results in fines and/or suspensions for conduct detrimental to the team.

And it might already be happening.

According to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com, Johnson shoved nfl media relations employee Michael Lipman

as Lipman was trying to make Johnson available to Marvez and another reporter. Johnson then "stared down" Lipman before leaving.

In addition to any discipline that the team might impose, the NFL could nail Johnson under the Personal Conduct Policy.

Though the policy primarily applies to criminal activity, it also prohibits "[v]iolent or threatening behavior among employees, whether inside or outside the workplace."

Regardless of whether it's the league or the team, something needs to be done about this guy. Without discipline, Johnson's behavior will only get worse.

It does stink of TO all over again.I was hoping we had a shot of getting him but he is looking like an immature ass we need no part of.He is trying anything he can to get out of Cincy,pushing buttons whenever he can.Even if they coud trade him no way he would come to Oak.He is just using any opportunity to piss off the bengals IMO

TO seems pretty happy in Dallas.

Hell, I would LOVE a chance to shove somebody in this league. Might even be willing to pay.

But as for the Chad: No.

Don't rush to judgment, I am not saying I want him, but I am not going to through him under the bus based on this.

However a team like Oakland, trying to change the culture, shouldn't take the risk. Especially when reports are Roy Williams is on the block.
