Chad Johnson Beat a Horse (wait, that didn’t sound good…)
This weekend, the always entertaining ‘Ocho Cinco’ took on the four-year old race horse Restore in a 100-meter sprint. # 85 came out victorious, although it should be noted that Restore had to run twice as far…
More importantly, the race was a charity event that raised money for coach Marvin Lewis’ foundation and Feed The Children, which helps the needy in Africa. Say what you want about Chad’s flamboyant style (and clothing), but there’s no doubt his heart is in the right place.
As a side note, apparently Carson Palmer lost some money thanks to Chad…
“Just because he’s my teammate, I’ve got to back him up. But I’ll be secretly putting money on that horse.”
When told his quarterback went with the horse, Chad responded…
“You know, it’s all good. Once it comes to the green grass, Carson knows from now on you always bet on Ocho!”
Chad Johnson, horse, race, charity, did you hear him challenge Floyd Mayweather to a charity fight? good luck with that…

Haha, I love that guy. He is crazy but you can tell he is a good person.
