Chad Johnson, a former NFL star, threatened to fight with his ex-teammate James Harrison in what has been quite the unusual feud on the worldwide web. Johnson was the guest on The Nightcap and went on a vitriolic rant, threatening to punch Harrison into a rearrangement of his intestinal tract, definitely one of the more creative challenges for a fight in sporting history.

The clip shows Johnson threatening Harrison in an intense manner and said something along the lines of “I’m a real shot with him,” followed by the now viral line, “I will rearrange your intestines.” The caption on Nightcap hinted mercilessly that was probably not the only time Johnson let loose during this very episode, saying that they “have never seen someone campaign so hard for medical assistance.”

Johnson’s statement triggered an uproar across social media, with fans and athletes weighing in on this unlikely confrontation. Even more for the fun of it, the former Bengals’ receiver himself stepped into the comment section with another one-liner: “I’m gone rearrange that boy furniture, that chin can’t lift weights.” Classic Ocho.

Then the reactions ranged from anguish to downright comedy. One user begged, “Ocho we night cap family want you alive,” while another joked about Johnson’s life insurance agent now having sleepless nights because of him. Common notion says mayhaps Johnson’s confidence rate, allegedly one gave a “99,” might not even be high enough to challenge one of the most terrifying physiques in NFL history.

The story stretches way back to this long-lasting playful beef that Johnson has had with his former Steelers teammate, Harrison. What began as locker room jokes, some of them bordering on ridicule, have now turned into very public (although not very serious) call-outs from Johnson. Harrison has largely ignored these challenges, fueling Johnson even more.

All of this entertains because Johnson dives into all of it with heart and soul. Whether it is threatening intestinal rearrangement or questioning Harrison’s ability to lift weights, every word coming from this Hall of Fame receiver is delivered with Oscar-winning level seriousness. The internet has taken the cue and turned every new Johnson outburst into comedic gold.

So far, Harrison has not yet responded to Johnson’s new challenge. Judging by how things have gone thus far, one would hardly expect this to be the last heard of this potential “fight.” Be it a real beef or just two athletes messing around, one thing’s for certain: Chad Johnson will go on entertaining well after his career.
