Good Heart

Chad Johnson is a head case, but he's got a good heart.

11/9/2004 - "I still can't believe all of this. This is absolutely just wonderful!" -- Kelly Doppes

Ever heard of the phrase, "being in the right place at the right time?" That's exactly where Bengals fan Kelly Doppes was Tuesday.

Kelly came to Paul Brown Stadium to purchase tickets to an upcoming Bengals game when Chad Johnson, who was tending to personal business on his day off, noticed her at the ticket window.

"What seats are you purchasing?" Johnson asked. Looking up with a shocked expression at who was asking, Kelly told him the seat location.

"Get her the better seats and it's on me," said Johnson, who paid for the tickets on the spot.
Kelly was intending to purchase tickets as a surprise for her Bengals-fan fiancé, Rick Kuethe. This is one secret, however, that will be short-lived.

"There is no way I can keep this a surprise," Kelly said. "I'm going to tell him as soon as he gets home from work. He's going to just die when I tell him this."
