Chad Johnson...just stop

Sean "Puffy Daddy" Combs once coined the phrase..."I thought I told you that we won't stop".

It was meant as a motivational slogan for people with a tremendous work ethic. But it seems that Chad Johnson...aka...Chad Ochocinco has taken that phrase literally....about everything.

And Chad...my man...it's time to stop.

Chad Johnson is on the fringe of becoming one of those athletes that's known more for foolishness than their on field performance. And when looking at Johnson's career numbers to date, that would be a shame.

Johnson has 766 career catches and 67 touchdowns...most of them memorable. He also racked up over 11,000 yards against defenses designed to take him out of the game plan.

Today, if you bring up the name Chad Johnson you think of twitter, and "ain't that the dude that head butted that girl? Or..."ain't that the dude that got fired on HBO"? You'll come up with a few more "incidents" before getting to his dominate on field performance. And that was just a few short years ago.

And that's no one's fault but Johnson's.

After receiving a fresh start in Miami, Johnson quickly fell out of favor after being arrested, and was let go from the Dolphins in front of millions of viewers on cable television. You would think that would be enough to humble someone eh?

"I thought I told you that we won't stop"

Today, Johnson reached a plea agreement for said arrest, and celebrates his "victory" by giving his lawyer a football style pat on the back side...drawing laughter from those in the court room. His lawyer even chuckled.

The judge didn't.

In a shocking reversal of fortune, the judge rejected the plea and ordered Johnson to 30 days in jail. That is beyond unfortunate. That is down right foolish. What in the world what make you think that it would be ok to....?......hmm...

But I digress.

The sad thing is, we'll never know if Johnson had anything left in the tank. At this point, who would dare sign him? The end zone celebrations and all the antics were funny at first...it was fresh and new. Now it's like.."Ok Chad...we get it..it's not funny any more....jail is not funny"

Even if Chad remains unemployed by the NFL, something tells me we haven't seen or heard the last of him.   follow @plcolter
