As much as I have grown to despise Chad Johnson as a Bengals fan, this video serves up why he and the Bengals offense was elite for a moment in time. Look at those deep balls Carson Palmer throws…pretty. Also included are some of his better-known TD celebrations. He used to be funny back then, now he’s just another TO/Rosenhaus client looking to better deal himself. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV2prqqAs00) ---

> [@Mr\_Buttons](#): > > I’ve always liked this amazing chip-in from Tiger Woods @ Augusta > > [About a 35 yd chip-in by Tiger](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qkBFGpNPC0) I remember the announcers talking about how tough the chip was and thinking to myself, “man it’s like they’ve never heard of Tiger Woods”. I’m not a fan of Tiger\* but this really is one of my favorite sports highlight \*I’ve simply always cheered for the underdog. Nothing more complicated than that. ---
