Pro2nda they only painted with the paint he gave them. Don’t get me wrong, I respect him but this is one interview. He has calmed down a lot from his NFL days.
Chad has more than one side to him, which is like all of us. He can be humble, soft spoken, thoughtful and kind. He can also headbutt his wife, have several children and marry none of their mothers, etc. 😊
"things aren't the way i'd like em but....that's life" I lost many close people, family members and friends and when Chad said that it hit me so hard.. He's such a genuine guy. Thanks for these interviews, great job Graham
He has a winners mindset. Move forward. Stop looking behind you stop creating emotions over what you cannot change stop questioning the past. Live in the NOW. Live for TODAY. Improve and MOVE FORWARD. AWESOME
My son broke his leg playing high school football when he was 15 . He ran into Chad at their team hotel in Detroit Chad asked him what happened when my son told him you could tell he was really concerned he sat down with him and talked with him for about an hour until coaches came and said it was time to go. There is nothing phony about him just a great down to earth guy as good as he was on the field even better person off of it.
Great interview. Nobody does it like graham, really gives the interviewee a chance to speak their mind without talking over them or cutting them off. Seems to get more out of them than most, and asks good questions
@@dinahawouragai2701 sorry for you loss ❤️🥺 yes My nana truly loved me unconditionally as do most grandmas 💕 I pray my nana is some where waiting for me 🥺
@@RB2331 he deserved...lol, really he was great but he got the treatment one should expect for a look at me type player. Larry Fitzgerald you can say that about. Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Sterling Sharpe so on and so forth. Chad and T.O. got treated like the distraction they were. When your great people look past it BUT as soon as you are no longer dominant the distraction is no longer worth the price
I totally can relate to his grandmother and what they are going through. My grandmother went through the same thing and it's nothing that I would wish on anyone... Keep God brother...
Watching this series has changed me totally on Chad. After Dancing with the Stars I thought he was just a clown and broke. I now have mucho respect for him.
Good stuff Yes Zir Mr. Johnson God bless grandmas like ours and yep you 100% on point when it comes to ya pops. Keep it pushin. Shalom and continued blessing. Thanks for sharing.
Living in Cincinnati for many years now and cheering on the Bengals he was the only player that I sported a jersey of# 85 child please.....Chad should be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Chad Johnson is part of a group of strong black men that were coming of age in the 80s-90s. Most of them were raised by strong single black women and their grandmothers. They didn't fall into the gangs, the drugs or any of that. When he was talking about wanting to know his dad.......he reminded me of Tupac sooooooo much.
“My mom, She was there”…. Then turned around and said “my grandmom, that’s all I had” - his mom and dad were deadbeats. His grandmother was the parent and did exactly what his parents should’ve done.
I feel chad. My grandma played a big part in my upbringing. Now shes paralysed with dementia and pulls away when I touch her coz she doesn't recognise me anymore 😭😭😭💔😞😞
No idea if you'll read this but your interviews are excellent, Graham. It seems a lot of people have preconceived notions about the people you're interviewing and can't understand that people might change or maybe they weren't so bad to begin with. Others seem to dislike your style of interviewing as well but I know a majority of us don't so keep these coming please. Also, I don't have cable TV and was wondering if these playlists cut a lot of the actual interview out or if it's all here? Thanks man, keep doing what you do.
I understand what he's talking about cause my grandma had dementia and it was a point she really know who I was and she reverted back to being a young girl.She was 85😇
I had the same experience with my Grandmother. And I get what he is saying that it’s funny but it’s not funny. She would but remember you one moment, and then smile and joke with you the next. But she had no idea that she was ill, and that her mind was not the same. I will always remember those moments.
Chad Johnson interests me so much and it's not because I'm a Bengals fan, it's more because he was portrayed in such a different way than he actually is. They made him out to be a prima donna like an Antonio Brown but he really wasn't.
I agree with Chad on that... He is actually smarter than people might realize....but Chad if you ever read this comment, don't take your kids to McDonald's...
Behind all the success he's had or has. Life hasn't exempt him. For him to face the reality of it. Is big of him. Money can't chase away the pain or the reality of life.
That's my rock, everything is built on a foundation. OchoCinco -Plies. OKAY She's my rock Bust at the opp Shawty be wet.... Lol. I think Plies got the "rock" song concept from this interview..
He's located in LA but he has a Village in Honduras that's dedicated 1000% to Healing while you're there called USHA VILLAGE.... Look it up on you tube to see it and look at the testimonies
Wow...talk about painting a guy as a villain. I NEVER would've guessed he was like this off the field. I wonder how much of that was Chad "putting on a show" b/c he didn't want us to see how much he was hurting? And how much of that was the media vilifying him b/c it sold tickets? I can't pretend to understand the ulterior motives of people.
It’s amazing, the media portrayed such. Different picture of chad, what a humble and intelligent person.
Pro2nda they only painted with the paint he gave them. Don’t get me wrong, I respect him but this is one interview. He has calmed down a lot from his NFL days.
Yes he’s done some serious counseling. So happy for him. Such a beautiful man.
Chad has more than one side to him, which is like all of us. He can be humble, soft spoken, thoughtful and kind. He can also headbutt his wife, have several children and marry none of their mothers, etc. 😊
Same with Terrell Owens.

Got to Chads heart on this one. Beautiful interview.

Man I feel for Mr. Johnson so much, it must be hard seeing his grandmother going through this.
i wish he was still in the nfl
I agree Truth ....wish he had 7yrs with Brady/Cam/Rodgers .....he deserved better !
He had a chance with patriots but blew it

Me too
Thanks for being so honest Chad!

The life lesson is never give up. We all have a lot of adversity and can relate in many ways.
No one is perfect..but man you are a man
Chad's such an intelligent guy. People don't realize this.
Wish my son was like Chad.Chad did not throw his Dad away.

This was a good interview an humbling to see this side of Chad. Wish he was still playing for my #cowboys
This guy is gentleman.
Best interview I've ever seen.
The media did him so wrong. Its really sad
I feel your pain chad love u

Great interview Chad 👏🏾♥️
Great Interview for the open-minded individuals.
It's so sad when we have to laugh to keep from crying!!!

Salute 🫡 big homie Ochocinco real talk you have inspired me in my life fasho love brother 🤎🫡
Chad is a beautiful man....something was done right
Great interview. I would like to see Albert Pujols with you on an interview, I think it would be great.
+Flow2528 Agreed! Hopefully we can make that happen.
Down to Earth dude right there
His eyes tell his whole story before he even tell it out his mouth.
Ive always liked Chad!!!
Great insightful interview
Chad I understand about your Grandma the forgetful part My Grandma was forgetful it was so hard I didn’t know how to deal with that.
I haven't see my father sience i was born
Great interview
Stay gold, Ocho.
Awesome interview, and heartbreaking too !! Good look Mr. Bensinger !
It's hard to not like the guy. Wish he was still playing

Lol. I think Plies got the "rock" song concept from this interview..
Nice guy
I've never seen mine
Mommy, it’s me...awwwww
Glad he had a great grand mom. Otherwise, he is exactly the same as every other boy out of Liberty City. No dad, so-so mom.
He's located in LA but he has a Village in Honduras that's dedicated 1000% to Healing while you're there called USHA VILLAGE.... Look it up on you tube to see it and look at the testimonies

Then how are he and singer Syleena Johnson related???
They are not related. He was calling her “sis” like we call each other.
They have the same father, sly johnson
Dame I Chad really need a 4 chance even his boy To got 5 team and Chad only 3.
He did the same thing to his own kids.
What fool has 6 kids with 7 different women ??
WRZ 2023-02-22
I felt the same about my dad because a man is the only way a woman can give life so never piss on your dad because women run us off.
Im sorry he had to headnbut that girl. That truly tarnished his career
he is so defensive and not a warm person
Now he finally gets to meet his dad, if they go to the same jail or prison.😉
pussy
Oh what do you know, his dad wasn't around lol.
