Munoz On Chad’s TD Celebration - “It’s Stupidity”

Posted by admin

September 12, 2007 |

Anthony Munoz, the only Cincinnati Bengal in the Hall Of Fame, seems to have taken offense to the recent Chad Johnsoncj-hof.jpg TD celebration on Monday Night Football. If you live under a rock, Chad scored in the first half on a touchdown catch from Palmer and proceeded to do a celebration which had him wearing a mocked up Hall Of Fame blazer.

The back of the blazer had this script, “Future H.O.F. 20??“

Anthony Munoz was on the Tony Bruno show yesterday and made his feelings known by simply saying, “It’s stupidity”…

He also went on to say it was “pathetic” and a display of “individualism” in a team game. He said 1 guy didn’t score, 11 guys scored.”

And I guess Daryl Johnston, the former Cowboy also feels strongly on the issue…..saying this on Sirius Radio recently.

“If Irvin was barely walking the line, no way Chad gets in”

“Plus, he was talking all week about how great his celebration would be, it was even that good“.

After some digging Daryl, we found that through each WR’s first six seasons, here is the tale of the tape on Irvin vs. CJ….

Irvin - 337 catches, 5694 yards, 34 TDs
Chad - 466 catches, 6925 yards, 41 TDs

Here is video of Chad catching the touchdown and donning the jacket.

    I personally think Chad Johnson’s celebrations are great. I don’t take them as an arrogant thing like T.O.’s, because Chad isn’t that kind of guy.
    I think he is just trying to bring some fun to a league that takes itself too seriously most times…

    I laughed when he put the jacket on.

    I’m just all for winning. His TD’s and amazing route running is what I’m a fan of. If his antics don’t distract from the team and his teamates just see him as a marketing clown instead of selfish, then great. What I care about are big catches in playoff games and if you want an individual accomplishment, then make a run at the Super Bowl MVP. He does seem harmless, let’s keep it that way.

    Well I remember the lean years… I’ll take this any day. To me it’s about entertainment and winning and Chad brings both. I don’t think Chad takes himself too seriously so it’s just fun. All I’ve gotta say is who-dey

    I gotta agree with you guys, no disrespect was intended here and the guys that take it serious like Munoz obviously come from the NFL old school…
