Chad Johnson has had a pretty rough summer all in all, and now the once-great wide receiver can’t even get love from Madden 2013.
The erstwhile Chad Ochocinco started off the summer by getting married to Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada in early July, but the marriage lasted only a few weeks before Johnson was accused of domestic battery.
The Associated Press reported that the incident began when Lozada found a receipt for a box of condoms, leading to a dispute during which Chad Johnson is alleged to have head-butted his wife.
Then, in the wake of the incident, he was cut by the Miami Dolphins, and the normally behind-closed-doors encounter was then broadcast to the world as part of HBO’s reality show Hard Knocks.
So after such a turbulent summer, Chad Johnson was probably happy to buy his new copy of Madden 2013 and pop it into his gaming console of choice. After all, Hard Knocks viewers came to know that Chad Johnson is an active gamer and like millions of Americans was looking forward to the annual August release of the newest Madden installment.
If only things were that easy.
As the Yahoo! Sports Minute noted, Chad Johnson found to his dismay that he is no longer an active player on the game. He used Twitter to express his sadness, also showing that after a difficult year he still has a bit of the humor that he’s known for.
That awkward moment when you realize you’re not on Madden13 and have to create yourself…

Chad Johnson’s sad Madden tweet is almost enough to make you feel bad for him. Almost.
POOR BABY! U MIGHT HAVE TO GET A REAL JOB, chad. Haahahaaaahaaahaaaa. WELCOME TO REAL LIFE SUCKER!
I have that moment every year….
That awkward moment when your attitude throughout life leaves you an average schmuck like the rest of us..
"so after a turbulent summer," as the yahoo article climaxes, it then blows it loads by saying he pops it into his gaming console of choice; nicely written.
you think he would at least be in the free Agents?
I did not like him at first; being eccentric and all, but I've come to respect him as being genuine.
he was making fun of himself and he has money and he really is a happy person. his marriage failed as if anyone elses hasn't, he lost his job as if anyone else hasn't yeah you get my point.
Bummer, I guess you never existed.
A guy with no penchant for violence is accused by a woman of poor reputation of domestic assault? With a headbutt? I doubt it. That sounds like a stupid woman thing to do. Considering that the initial report said she was carrying in groceries, and nobody headbutts unless their hands are occupied, I think she might have headbutted him and just came out of it looking worse than he did.
lol, it would easier for him to lean down and headbutt her and for her to reach up enough to headbutt him. very seriously doubt she'd cut her head open butting chad on the chin..
Strange…considering people like Yao Ming are on NBA 2k12.
That's actually another reason why I think she initiated hit. Human skulls are hard and have very sharp angles. if she hit him in the chin with her head, he'd suffer very little, and if she really went for it she could easily cut her head.
I bet you anything he gives himself a 99 rating.
He should have ran from the hoe the moment after he flew her to his home and had sex with her on the first night they met. Shoulda ran boy…
Chad, your first mistake was putting yourself on a pedestal and then parading on TV for the right women. I'm sure you wasted more money than you were paid. A good woman would not want to be a part of that scenario. So now here you are about to be released from more of your money by a pro and I don't mean pro football team…I mean "Pro Wifey"…lol If you haven't already finish getting your education and get a job. All pro athletes are not made for TV.
Ocho Who-O>?
Chad and TO can cry on each others shoulders. Boo Hoo.
Then who is the #85 Ochocinco on Miami on my M13?
