Yakov Johnson

Chad Johnson thinks he's a comedian and it's probably a good thing for him to start thinking of future employment, since he isn't doing much in his current job.
In the world of pro athletes and coaches who usually utter nothing more than the same old cliches week after week, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver clearly is unique.
But is he funny?
When you listen to the same boring press conferences with no-personality guys like Carson Palmer and Marvin Lewis every week, we suppose Johnson can sound pretty hilarious.
But come on, next to Marvin Lewis, Jerry Lewis is funny.
Next to Lewis Black, Chad Johnson doesn't even get a chuckle out of us.
But seriously, does any player in the NFL get more attention for doing less than Chad Johnson? OK, maybe Terrell Owens, but when you're only a few weeks removed from an alleged suicide attempt, you demand attention.
Ocho Cinco is having a pretty mediocre season, and he hasn't swallowed a large number of pills recently, yet you hear and read more about him than Tom Brady.
But it's good that Johnson is preparing for life after football. When Ocho Cinco's NFL career is over, we look forward to seeing him do standup where all the comedy greats perform, Branson, Mo.
Which brings us to more important things: Sunday's Chargers-Bengals game in Cincinnati.
The Bolts did nothing to impress us in last week's win over the lowly Browns, but we're going to overlook that this week.
We see the Chargers winning this game and we wouldn't be surprised if they win big.
One reason: Cincinnati's defense, particularly the run defense, is just horrible.
And that's something Marty Schottenheimer and LaDainian Tomlinson no doubt have noticed.
But regardless of the outcome, we're sure Yakov Johnson will have something hilarious to say after the game.
