In case you missed Chad Johnson's interview on SportsCenter last night, here it is in all of its awkward glory. Johnson, who has subtly hinted that he wants out of Cincinnati by doing things like posing in front of a Redskins "85" jersey and saying he wants out of Cincinnati, gave the phone interview to address coach Marvin Lewis's statement that the team was ready to move on without Johnson. The result — especially the final minute and a half or so — is as awkward as an Arrested Development scene or trying to tell someone you have gonorrhea, so they should probably get tested. Or so I would imagine.

Don't drugs kids…just don't do drugs.
You know what this blog needs? More stories about Bengals wide receivers.
I remember when Ufford really hit his stride while writing about the Carl Pickens and Eddie Brown eras. Good to see you getting back to that.
Dude – Darnay Scott just offered to wash my windshield for a dollar.
Chris Collinsworth demands more coverage.
…Hugh!
Yeah, Peter Warrick vastly underperformed his potential while in Cincy.
and +1 to Tim
He was right, that WAS a "sizzling bacon" interview. In fact, it was so hot that I will henceforth be spelling it "sixxling". Gosh, wasn't that a sixxling interview?
"How do you get your self out of a losing situation?"
"Continue to let my light shine!" "You are not feeling me." "Whoop Dee Doo."
Dude, all I have to say is 7-9. Also, got to love the quality players in Cincinnati.
More like Ocho Stink-o.

How do you get your self out of a losing situation?
It's just a matter of time before he calls Carson Palmer a heterosexual. Guys named Carson HATE being called straight.
Does Chad want out of Cincy, or are the other receivers pushing him out and secretly recruiting Marcus Vick as his replacement?
@Alex, I thought Florida State receivers would be a perfect fit in Cincy, No?
Build that Bengal WR pyramid!
"thanks for your time, chad"
"that's it?!?"
anyone else get the feeling that Johnson is kinda lonely in these interviews? Like he just smoked a pound of weed and just wanted to chat with someone and the number he called happened to be espn?
Why isn't TJ Houshmandzadeh more controversial? An all-new controversy.
Fox News hasn't publicized his shady Iranian heritage yet. Give them time.
What bullets?! What bullets?! I so wanted Kinney to be like, "Chad, are you familiar with the term "metaphor"?
If this asshat was half as good as he thought he was, he might be a legitimate Pro Bowl caliber wide receiver.
Sounds like Chad got more than one puff of smoke with that celebration.
