Is Chad Johnson a Man of His Word or a Loudmouth Liar?

Text Size A A A
Prior to the game between the Bengals and the Falcons, Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson was so confident his team would win that he said he would shave his head if they didn't. However, two days after the Falcons won the game 29-27, the blonde Mohawk is still in place, which begs the question: Is Chad Johnson going to back out on his bet?

"If he was a man of his word, he'd be cutting it. If not, you will see the Mohawk," Falcons corner back DeAngelo Hall told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after Sunday's game. Hall was the focus of Johnson's pre-game boasting, and he referred to him as "DeAngelo Fall." Now, all is quiet in Chad Land. No predictions, no promises, no jabs and, most of all, no clippers.

Most everyone seems to agree that Johnson is an entertaining player, and his pre-game talking is all in good fun, but if he does not keep his word and shave his Mohawk, he'll show everyone that he's just a little baby with a big mouth, but no honor.

Messages left for the Bengals' public relations office were unreturned as of this writing.
