Wide Receiver Chad Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, had an eventful weekend and not in a good way.  Johnson, who signed with the Miami Dolphins after one mediocre season with the New England Patriots, was arrested on a domestic battery charge involving his wife Evelyn Lozada.

According to the complaint, Evelyn confronted Chad about a receipt she found in the car for a box of condoms (we’ll go out on a very short limb and surmise the condoms in question involved a third party).  Things escalated from there, and Chad head butted Evelyn, giving her a three inch cut.  She called the police, who arrested Chad.  He posted bond and was released.

New Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, a no nonsense kind of guy, was not about to put up with this kind of crap from a now marginal NFL receiver, and the team terminated the 34 year old Johnson’s contract.  So now Chad is out of a job, and we’ve got to believe his marriage is on life support.  By the way, the two were just married on July 4th.
