Chad Johnson cut on camera...

This past tuesday HBO's second episode of Hardknocks with the Miami Dolphins aired at 10pm.  Prior to the episode the nation already knew of Chad Johnson's release from the team after being arrest for allegedly headbutting his newly wed wife of about five weeks.  After watching the episode I have completely lost all respect for the Miami Dolphin organization and most importantly Joe Philbin.  If some of you did not see the episode, Joe Philbin sat down with Chad Johnson and cut him from the team while camera's were rolling...giving HBO the opportunity to put that clip onto national television.  Now I understand why you would cut the guy from your team, but to do it on national television?  When a team goes to cut a player after an arrest or something of that caliber there should be a statement from the team to tell the media, it should never be on a television show for the world to see.  As a coach you make an example out of Chad for the team's sake, but that's it.  Looking at that episode, the Dolphins and Joe Philbin have made him look like a horrible person to the entire world.  You don't do that to a guy and it make's your organization look bad.  I feel as though Joe Philbin is trying to make a name for himself as a new head coach in the NFL, but who is this guy? He was the "offensive coordinator" for Green Bay... and I say it like that because we all know that Mike McCarthy calls the plays there.  Joe Philbin and the Dolphins were way out of line for allowing that to air.
