Chad Johnson likes Black Friday deals, buys Rock Band 2 for coach photo

NFL superstar and millionaire Chad Johnson is a unique man, who apparently really knows how to shop for his loved ones. Johnson, who may or may not have changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco, was spotted at a Best Buy in Kentucky today buying a copy of Rock Band 2. Not one to miss out on a Black Friday deal, Johnson said the game as well as a stereo and Cuisinart four-slice toaster were for his coach.

He told a reporter that he had been “trying to call coach, but he didn’t answer.” His coach may have been asleep. It was 5:25 A.M. when he was spotted with those mean looking glasses and the Rock Band 2 bundle.

The appearance is mighty deceiving, but it’s good to know he was able to navigate through the crowds without being crushed by eager consumers this lovely morning. Like Johnson, were any of you able to get what you needed this morning? Did you guys cash in on any hot deals?

Well, after all of the fines, he might have to start clipping coupons and bargain hunting.

I must agree with BFeld, how is this news? I know its a slow day, but you shouldn't drop standards just because everyone else is still too full from turkey to move anymore. :D

I think Chad Johnson makes enough money not to care about Black Friday, but eh... he must love his coach.

I think this story probably could've been skimmed over.

Correction: The itch has been scratched - one does not tickle an itch.

I purchased Fallout 3 and Animal Crossing (w/ Wii Speak) for $40 each on Amazon.
The deals seemed to go quickly, since I ordered at the exact time they began (2:00AM Central) and by the time I woke up (8:00), the deals were over.

Amazon had Left 4 Dead for the PC for $20. I added it to my cart the minute the deal started, but I wanted free shipping so I found and added the WoW expansion for another $25. By the time I finished entering my card number, Left 4 Dead had already been sold out (~5 minutes), so I could only make off with WotLK for $15 off :(

Those glasses are tight.

lmao. Imagine him busting his way through crowds of people. Also why the fuck is he shopping on Black Friday? He doesn't need to save money. He probably just likes throwing people down while shopping.

Lol @ Same Spectre. It's bad enough going shopping with rabid crowds, but when the people in the crowds are NFL players ya best steer clear of the videogame aisle, apparently.

Just because there's no news to report doesn't mean you have to report on anything.
