Product Description

What's so great about Chad Johnson, #85, of the Cincinnati Bengals? Just five years into his career and he is already becoming a household name.

Chad: I Can't Be Stopped is the first book about the energetic wide receiver whose zany endzone celebrations have landed him over $100,000 in fines and into the hearts of football fans nationwide.

Chad is known for his flamboyant playing style and trash talking. But that's the man on camera. Who is he or rather how is he when the camera's put away?

He's a practical jokester who mailed Pepto Bismol to various Cleveland Brown's players before the big game. He also wandered the halls of his high school only to be found helping painters paint his school building.

Being raised fatherless left room for several different men and two very special women to shape this hyperactive class clown into the wide receiver that "no-one can cover."

* Find out what really happened in the locker room at halftime during the 2005 playoff game.

* Who does he call at 3 a.m. when he can't sleep?

* The most important woman in his life—where does she live?

* Who's credited for saving his football life?

CHAD JOHNSON AND TRASH TALK
I LOVED THE INSIGHT THAT CHAD'S BOOK OFFERS SPORT FANS. IT'S ALWAYS A PRIVILEDGE TO GET A GLIMPSE INSIDE A CELEBRITY'S LIFE AND CHAD DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. AS FOR CHAD'S BRAND OF TRASH TALK, I'D ADVISE ANY PRO SPORTS FAN TO READ A BOOK CALLED 'TRASH TALK' BY ROBERT GUSSIN. IT'S A SPORTS COMEDY BONANZA. CHAD, HAVE YOU READ IT?

Highly recommended as an upbeat, in-depth portrait of an athlete who happens to be a positive role model.
Written by "Cincinnati Enquirer" sports columnist Paul Daugherty, Chad: I Can't Be Stopped is the true-life story of National Football League superstar Chad Johnson - well known for his professional prowess, and perhaps also known for his touchdown celebrations that prompted the NFL to tighten their rules on what is considered a permissible expression of victory. Black-and-white photographs illustrate this candid story of Chad the person as well as Chad the expert football player. "Says Hue Jackson, Bengals receiver coach and one of Johnson's few confidantes, 'Chad doesn't drink or smoke. He's not a guy that has to be out among the celebrities. I don't lose sleep on Saturday nights, worrying about Chad Johnson.'" Highly recommended as an upbeat, in-depth portrait of an athlete who happens to be a positive role model.

Book of Inspiration
This book is great. It offers a behind the scene look at the life of one of the most successful wide recievers in NFL history. Excellent!
