Football Chad Ochocinco: Open Letter To Roger Goodell - Page 3

listopencil · 05-13-2012, 03:32 PM

Many of you know I have a father son relationship with Roger Goodell. I love him and just had to reach out to him with all that is going on. We are at a crucial point in the history of football. The foundation of the game is in jeopardy based on all these factors and the future of the game is going to be shaped by him.

Dear Dad,

I know it has been a rough week, so I wanted to reach out. Players dying, players suing and on top of that my peers are just going off on you in the media. It does not help that ESPN has all of a sudden become Medical TV with damn near every brain expert on the planet. This has got to be the worst week ever. Since no one is showing any support, I figured I would be the first. You are in one big ass catch 22 and quite frankly, I am not sure there is any solution. One thing I think can help is killing the NFL PR machine.

Y’all do a darn near perfect job at portraying this game as one played by heroes.

But let’s be real dad. This is a nasty, dirty and violent game with consequences. Sign up or go get a regular job. Watch it or turn off the TV and go fishing with your kids. It is really that simple. I know there are probably legal and financial implications that prevent this blunt depiction, but am not sure if you have a choice. If you don’t say it now, the mounting evidence being revealed publicly will say it for you very soon. In all, I love you and if anyone can lead us out of this mess, it will be you. Oh by the way, I have a deal for you. Am having a rebound year and plan to do a lot of celebrating in the end zone. Can my fine money go to supporting ex-players suffering?

Sincerely,
Chad

Agreed, I've never said it, and I say a lot of things that piss people off around here.

Hey, I'm back. Do we still hate Ochocinco?

i see him in the exact same light, IMO it's hard to dislike him, if you're honest.

Man. This is stupid. They know now what happens when you play.

They need to settle with the old dudes, make sure everyone knows the risk and move on.

I work in a much more dangerous industry than they do and I'm not suing anybody. I know what I'm getting into and I accept that risk in hopes of doing better than the office job I had.

It seems like we have more injuries now than we had years ago. Everything it suppose to be more advanced, but it doesn't seem like that.

Heaven forbids we have a fatality on the field due to the neck whipping back and forth. Seen that shit happen, what will happen next.

Yeah, that's the reason. They're good enough to get to the Super Bowl, but they can't win one without some videotape. You ****ing reerun.

WEEI Sports Radio's Christopher Price reports Chad Ochocinco left Gillette Stadium before Thursday's OTA session and subsequently removed any Patriots affiliation from his Twitter bio.
The Boston Globe has also been all over this story of late, with Greg Bedard predicting a June release months ago. The Globe hears that while Ochocinco still has what it takes physically to succeed in the NFL, he is still struggling to firmly grasp the Patriots' playbook. With a loaded wide receiver corps, it would be no surprise if the team simply decided to throw in the towel before training camp.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Chad. We had high hopes for you, but it turns out you're too dumb to do anything other than run in a line and hope the QB and offense gameplan for you. You've had a year to figure it out and still can't? **** off. If you had half a brain, the Patriots probably would've been able to win the Super Bowl.
