| 11th January, 2006 - 12:05 pm |  Columbus Dispatch - Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson denied an Internet report claiming he got into an altercation with receivers coach Hue Jackson and head coach Marvin Lewis on Sunday during halftime of a playoff loss to Pittsburgh.
Johnson held a news conference last night in Paul Brown Stadium to respond to a report on profootballtalk.com that alleged that he put Jackson in a headlock and took a swing at Lewis when the head coach tried to intervene.
"There?s never been a confrontation, ever, and especially with a coach," Johnson said.
Neither Lewis nor Jackson attended the news conference. Johnson said he didn?t ask them to come.
"I can handle this on my own," Johnson said.
Bengals public relations director Jack Brennan said neither coach would address the alleged incident.
"We don?t comment on rumors," Brennan said.
Johnson said that if he had taken a swing at Lewis, the coach "would have sat me down" for the second half of the 31-17 loss. [READ] |
