: CINCINNATI (AP) - Chad Johnson's trash talk won't work on his next opponent.
As part of a charity promotion, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver has agreed to race a horse at a track next weekend. He's not running against Mr. Ed, so his gift for in-your-face gab won't help.
'I'm looking forward to it,' Johnson said Friday, after the first day of minicamp. 'It's going to be fun. Some of the things I'm going to be doing this year are crazy, and racing a horse is one of them.'
A 4-year-old colt named Restore the Road will race Johnson on the turf at Cincinnati's River Downs on June 9. The horse will run 1/8th of a mile, while Johnson covers half that distance.
Sounds like a fair match to Johnson.
'I'm ready,' he said. 'He has two extra legs, so I will get a two-extra-leg lead. It's all for fun. The important thing is raising money to help those in need.'
The money will go to coach Marvin Lewis' foundation and Feed The Children, which helps the needy in Africa.
It's not the first time that a Bengals receiver has raced a horse. Cris Collinsworth previously challenged a horse - and lost - at River Downs.
Quarterback Carson Palmer expects a similar outcome.
'I don't think he really understands how fast horses are,' Palmer said Friday. 'I've been to the Kentucky Derby and been to different tracks and seen horses run. I don't think he knows what he's getting himself into.
'Just because he's my teammate, I've got to back him up. But I'll be secretly putting money on that horse.'
Receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh had advice for Johnson: Don't look back.
'It's not a Kentucky Derby horse, so he's probably going to win, I think,' Houshmandzadeh said. 'If he turns around and sees the horse getting close, he'll get discouraged and probably slow down.'

@brownbetty 32 I keep putting you out there because you keep displaying stupidity! So sad! :( I’m hoping 32 is not your age; therefore, I am just going to charge your ignorant and juvenile comment to you not being intelligent enough to either: a) ignore a false statement or b) respond to it in an clever way. I will entertain you because obviously, I have nothing better to do. First off, I have a "husband" (something you will probably never get). If you refer to the Pharrell Photo Shoot link, you will see that I gave him a shout out because they look alike (yes, they are cousins). Also, my husband loves spending time with me and teaching me “men” things such as football that I might not know or understand. Secondly, my mother and father are not together so I don't think she cares what or who he is doing. Boo Boo, all that irrelevant and barbaric talk is just making you look stupid and justifies why you don't have a man. And no you don’t have to answer if you have a man or not because your ally ways speaks for you. The way you talk is probably a reflection of how you look "stupid and trashy". My task for you: Trying to be “Classy” and not “Trashy”. Practice in the mirror, you might get it one day. ~Smooches~
