Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson addresses the New England media during his conference call on September 27, 2007. Q: So you finally got some rain there. CJ: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re having a ball out here. We had a great practice in the rain today. I think this might be our only day of rain. It’s going to be hot tomorrow. Q: What is the frustration-level right now after those last two losses? CJ: I really don’t think - I’m not sure how you put it. We don’t really have time to be frustrated. We’ve lost those two games.

Never have I played against him, actually….You know what? No. I don’t think so. Wait a minute, Oakland last year, but he got hurt. He got hurt very early, so this is my first time really having a time to play against him. Q: When you’re on the same field as another great receiver, even though you’re not going up against him, obviously, does that give you a little extra boost? CJ: Extra boost to d…
