Things got pretty heated last night during the Patriots-Ravens game on Monday Night Football, with the Baltimore crowd erupting into a boisterous “bullsh*t” chant at one point. Which NBC aired in all its glory, uncensored: Ravens Crowd Bullshit Chant Convinced that the maligned replacement refs blew a call (the regular refs are currently in a labor dispute with the NFL), Ravens fans called BS … loudly and clearly. NBC play-by-play man Al Michaels noted, “It’s the loudest manure chant I’ve ever heard.” Indeed. Whether the FCC responds with the largest fine is the big question. Live, intense sporting events lend themselves to expletives flying around at a moment’s notice, but this chant went on for minutes, plural. No way NBC could feign ignorance. Just awesomeness. Totally worth a six-figure fine. The Ravens won 31-30, BT-Dubs.
Chad Johnson just cut a deal to keep his unemployed a$$ out of jail. The former NFL star was arrested for domestic violence after head-butting Evelyn Lozada during an argument, but he’s agreed to be placed on probation and complete extensive anger management counseling in exchange for a guilty or no contest plea. That will keep him out of jail on the battery charge he’s facing. A hearing has been scheduled for tomorrow, during which a judge is expected to sign off on the plea bargain and make it official . Man, they wrapped this up quick. Evelyn and Chad’s divorce was finalized yesterday. They wed July 4. Not even six weeks later, she found a receipt for condoms in their car and lost her $h!t. He allegedly head-butted her at that point, and was arrested; Evelyn filed for divorce, VH1 axed their show and the Miami Dolphins cut Chad loose within days. Life’s changed quite a bit for him in the last three months. Lots of free time for Madden now at least, despite the awkwardness of having to create himself.
Poor Thang… Chad Johnson is finally accepting responsibility for his violent actions and signing up for a lil anger management. According to TMZ reports : Chad Johnson says he’s enrolled in anger management classes … to learn how to suppress his rage so he doesn’t have another violent altercation like the one with his ex-wife. Johnson made the announcement during an interview with James Brown on “Inside the NFL” … saying, ” I’m trying to find out how can I channel my anger when I’m in situations to where I would pop off.” During the interview, which airs tonight on Showtime, Johnson says he takes full responsibility for the headbutting incident with Evelyn Lozada … and says, “I think what I need to do is work on Chad.” Johnson has been through anger counseling before — as we previously reported, Chad was ordered to complete a domestic violence program after battering a former GF back in 2000. Chad also says he believes the Miami Dolphins cut him from the team solely based on the domestic incident and NOT because of his performance on the field. “That was the reason … there’s no need to blow smoke up my a$$.” We broke the story … Johnson officially became a single man earlier today after a judge signed off on his divorce from Lozada … a divorce he was trying like hell to prevent from happening. Johnson says he’s no longer on speaking terms with Evelyn … explaining, “There’s nothing I can say to her because she’s already heard it all … what can I say … actions speak louder than words and this is the time for me to show action.” Does anybody have sympathy for this guy? Cuz we’re having a rough time mustering up any. Hopefully he’ll get his act in order and stop being such a D-bag now.
What the hell??? Can we go a month without some angry athlete assaulting his girl ? According to TMZ… Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Bryant was arrested Tuesday morning … for allegedly strangling his baby mama back in April. A warrant was issued for Bryant’s arrest in South Florida on Tuesday … stemming from a domestic violence incident that allegedly occurred April 10 between Bryant and the mother of his child, Dianne Helne. According to reports … Helne told the police Bryant pushed her in the face … put his hands around her neck while she was holding their young child … and then continued to kick and punch her, after she put the child down. Shortly after the warrant was issued, the 31-year-old turned himself over to police. He was charged with domestic battery by strangulation, domestic violence and culpable negligence. Bryant — who played in the NFL from 2002 to 2009 for the Cowboys, Browns, 49ers and the Buccaneers — was later released on $15,000 bail. Bryant had a workout with the Seattle Seahawks this summer, but was released after suffering a leg injury. Images via twitter
Chad Johnson has been formally charged with battery following his alleged attack on Evelyn Lozada last month. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted. The former Ochocinco was arrested for domestic violence in Florida after a fight over a condom receipt allegedly got violent and he head-butted his wife . She filed for divorce days later after less than six weeks of marriage. Broward County, Fla., officials made the decision to charge Chad today. Evelyn Lozada claims their marriage had become “irretrievably broken” and has made it clear there will be no reconciling with the former NFL star here. Chad apparently didn’t get the memo, as he’s refusing to sign divorce papers , insisting he’s still in love with her and telling off his critics on Twitter. He also got a tattoo of Ev’s face on his leg. Her face. Johnson was also dropped from the Miami Dolphins – on HBO’s Hard Knocks no less – following his arrest and is now a free agent. Any NFL takers out there? Hello?
They may not have walked away with any money, but Blakeley Shea Jones and Tony Pieper got engaged last night on the Bachelor Pad season finale . Before Nick Peterson shocked the world and screwed over Rachel Trueheart en route to $250,000, single father Tony found himself $100,000 lighter. He popped the question to Blakeley with a ring by Hollywood fave Neil Lane. “It is a gorgeous ring,” a diamond expert says of the 3.5-carat rock. “It’s very substantial . The main stone is a square cut, with a pave border and a double pave band.” One worth an estimated hundred grand, according to reports. About a week before the Bachelor Pad finale taped, “Tony was very quietly flown out to LA … He met with Neil so he could pick the ring out personally.” His efforts certainly paid off, as Blakeley Shea Jones said yes. While neither made it far on The Bachelor or Bachelorette , the couple met at the Pad and decided to make their relationship permanent after just a few months. Congratulations, Blakeley and Tony!
O.J. Simpson believes Khloe Kardashian is his daughter and plans on changing his will to reflect this fact. According to a new story in The National Enquirer , that is. The same tabloid that first floated the Kardashian-belongs-to-O.J. rumor in January is now fueling that seemingly absurd allegation by claiming Simpson wants to “do the right thing” and leave a sizable chunk of his estate to the reality star. Moreover, he wants to do it at older daughter Arnelle’s expense, an anonymous insider claims, because Simpsons thinks she has squandered his money on a lavish, drunken lifestyle. Currently sitting in a prison cell, convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping , O.J. has stashed away a couple million in the Cayman Islands and can expect more over the years due to his NFL pension, which pays him an annual sum of $300,000. Based on this story, Simpson told his four kids – Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin – that he’s changing his will to give a lot of that fortune to Khloe… and their reaction was less than enthusiastic. “At first they thought he was just making a big joke, but when they realized he was serious, they were flabbergasted,” says a source. “They are furious and wonder why they have to share the wealth with a complete stranger.” The children should just be thankful they’re alive, really. But they don’t see it that way. “By cutting Arnelle out of his will, his kids feel O.J. is being cruel,” adds the insider. “And they think that adding Khloe is just plain revenge. I’m sure if O.J. kicks the bucket and leaves Khloe money in his will, she’s not going to turn it down.” We’re equally sure. Almost as sure as we are that Khloe Kardashian is not actually O.J. Simpson’s daughter. [Photo: WENN.com/Fayesvision]
