The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... After appearing on the NFL Network, Johnson refused to speak to non-league affiliated media. ... It gets better. Before leaving, Johnson was stopped by a member of the league's media relations department (Michael Lipman) for FOXSports' Alex Marvez and another reporter. Marvez asked Johnson whether he was having a better off-season after venting some of his frustration publicly at the Super Bowl. Johnson walked off without answering the question. Lipman tried speaking with him again, only to get shoved. The much-bigger Johnson then stared down Lipman before stepping onto a jitney headed toward the players' hotel.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
For those who haven't been paying attention, Johnson believes he was being undermined in 2007 by a "prominent source" inside the Bengals who was leaking negative things about him to the media. Recent reports suggest that Johnson's anger is directed at HC Marvin Lewis. The Bengals are refusing to comment on Johnson, his claims or his obvious desire to move on. Which means we can expect a steady stream of Johnson's antics for the foreseeable future -- unless, of course, the league takes issue with the intimidation tactics he used on Lipman. So stay tuned.
