Make your plans early
21 December 2005
I know that a lot of people (including myself) have a set tradition that they hold every year during the holidays. The date that I'm talking about is December 24
th. Most people spend this time to be with family, enjoying early Christmas celebrations, or maybe (to a lesser extent) watching the Sheraton Hawaii bowl. This year, I'm going to have to get up super early on the 25
th to watch SportsCenter. The reason is because of Chad Johnson.
I hate the NFL. But for some reason, like everyone else, I absolutely love crazy end zone celebrations. T.O. was the origin to this craze, and Johnson has taken over lately. The only reason that I say that I'm going to watch SportsCenter on the 25
th is because of this quote that he issued for his game on the 24
th:
"On the highway, I hit a deer," Johnson said Tuesday, insisting he was serious and that the animal wasn't hurt. "I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the [touchdown] celebration this weekend. He's a prop. They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it."
