I’ve always loved Chad Johnson (or as he once expected the world to address him, Chad Ochocinco). Okay, so he was a little sloppy on the gridiron as a Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver and seemed to be having a little too much fun — when he should have been catching footballs. But he did manage to stick around in the National Football League for a decade, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Regardless of his (lack of) play inside the now long-razed Riverfront Stadium along the Ohio River, Chad’s always come across as a genuinely good human being. As Larry Brown Sports reported in 2020, he once left a generous tip at a restaurant, because his party stayed after closing time.
Johnson ended up leaving a $1,300 tip. He shared a verse from Proverbs 11:25, which says “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
And I’ll admit I retain a certain fondness for him, as Chad’s son, Chad Johnson II, is currently a Sun Devil at Tempe’s Arizona State University (watch Junior work his own magic in the wide receiver slot in the linked, Facebook video post).

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
