He's fun and he'll joke around, but it takes a lot to bring him out. Or as Texans wide receiver Darnell Jenkins notes said: "If 'Dre don't know you, he's not going to say anything to you. He's not being mean about it; he just won't talk. That's just him. Always has been. Back in Carol City, Fla. It has nothing to do with trust. I may say a few words to you, but not like I'm going to just start talking to people out of nowhere. So it should be no surprise that Johnson agreed in his first contract not to do any national endorsements or ads for at least one year.

Ultimately, while he may not have much to say, Johnson wants to make people feel at ease. It's part of his approach to making Houston great.

When you're on Twitter, you can say whatever, whenever you want to say it. Indeed, the unfiltered nature might be the one red flag in an otherwise overwhelming tide of opportunity. Already, athletes are trying to find a way to take their audience and create financial opportunities with products.
Others are sharing their political and social views. Still others are merely enjoying the experience of having a soap box. Through it all, the NFL is continuing to embrace a new artery between its game and the masses of worshippers. Ochocinco may have summed it up best when, after his Twitter fight with Merriman, he placed a call to an old-fashioned form of media — a reporter — and explained himself. It's just me being me.

That was also when the Bengals used three-receiver sets the way most people use socks. Back then, it was Ochocinco, T. Houshmandzadeh notes and then-rookie Chris Henry. It was special to watch as Palmer had the best season of his career. He posted career-highs in completion percentage The popular theory is that Owens is being brought in to replace Bryant, who many believe is struggling in his return from knee surgery.
That's not the case, says a Bengals source. The team's medical staff went to see Bryant a little more than a week ago to check on his progress. All indications are that he'll be fine for the season.
