Bengals WR Chad Johnson and DB Madieu Williams got into two fights during practice today. The final one was pretty severe and included punches thrown and teammates having to pry the two off each other.
Safety Madieu Williams and wide receiver Chad Johnson exchanged punches in two different incidents during the afternoon practice. It is scheduled to run until 5 p.m.
Early in practice, Johnson and Williams appeared to trade words during a drill. Johnson flung the ball at Williams as he walked away. Later, in 11-on-11 team drills, Johnson and Williams tangled again at the end of a play. Coach Marvin Lewis was among those who broke up the fight, during which both players lost their helmets and threw punches.
Then, on a deep pass play from Carson Palmer to Johnson, safety Dexter Jackson intercepted near the goal line. Williams shoved Johnson to block him. They again traded blows, with Johnson's helmet coming off.

Looks like Chad Johnson has a career outside of football like prizefighting or he has developed some backbone.

Talented guy but he can't control his emotions at all and it has hurt, will... hurt his team. In the era of ESPN and running his face of countless highlights, commercials and front of magazine covers, it's about the 'me' , not the team, or actually winning anymore. How big is my ego and how much cash will I make... And the producers of all these shows know when they have a 'moron / idiot' ... who will dance for the camera, give them content and sell more commercial space for their network, stock holders.
This guy will waste Carson Palmer's talent and their window will close soon...and Coach Lewis will be fired for losing control of his immature, rich thugs...
