Believe it or not, Chad Johnson is planning a new celebration:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"On the highway, I hit a deer," Johnson said Tuesday, insisting he was serious and that the animal wasn't hurt. "I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the celebration this weekend. He's a prop. They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it."

"You can look forward to the celebration being part of something that has to do with Christmas. It's going to be fun. I might get in trouble, so I might as well let that out now. I might get in trouble for what I'm going to do, but it's worth it."

"This is going to be the greatest celebration of all time, man," he said. "I actually use an animal."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the question is begging to be asked: Is CJ kidding? Consider, if you will, that he didn't even so much as celebrate his TD last week at Detroit, this is the Bengals final home game, it's on Christmas Eve and they've already locked up the AFC North and it becomes readily apparent that this is no joke... he's going to have a freaking deer, a reindeer even -- dead or alive -- in the endzone on Saturday.

Chad Johnson, my favorite (non-Redskins) player.

 Reindeer killer, qu’est que c’est?

  Apparently,most people who do not like the endzone celebrations are white sportsfans,because all the endzone dances are performed by blacks.As being black
  I like the onfield showmanship,but off the field issues of bad behavior and greed should have serious consequences.

  This may sound racist and maybe it is but I am sick and tired of celebrations in team sports, no one scores a touchdown of any kind without a great deal of work by his teammates.  These celebrations are getting so repugnant to me that I have nearly quit watching on TV and have long since given up my season tickets.
