Johnson: 'I can outswim Phelps'
BALTIMORE (AP) - Michael Phelps' six gold medals and six world records? Big deal, you should see the swimmers at my home pool.
That's the word from irascible Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson, who likes to be known as "Ocho Cinco," Spanish for the numbers eight and five on his uniform.
Johnson said on ESPN's "Five Good Minutes" segment that where he's from, Liberty City in Miami, he knows several people who can beat the Baltimore swimmer right now, and he says he's one of them.
However, Johnson, who added he was the three-time champion at Liberty City's Charles Hadley Pool, is known for attention getting behavior. He has been fined repeatedly for end zone celebrations and for wearing "Ocho Cinco" on his uniform.
