Hanging on to his 15 minutes of fame (infamy?)...

Ochocinco has something up his sleeve, Twitter style
Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2009 9:12 PM ET

When Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco abruptly signed off Twitter on September 4, most folks thought that it was another one of his stunts.

After all, he's the same guy who has legally changed his name to the Spanish equivalent of his jersey numerals, so that he could wear "Ochocinco" on his back without being fined cinco grando.

According to the Associated Press, Ochocinco says he plans to return, in some form, to Twitter soon.

"The Twitter world, they don't need a signal," Ochocinco said Wednesday. "They'll know. It's the quiet before the storm. Just watch."

The league recently promulgated a rule against social media site use from 90 minutes before kickoff of a game until after the post-game media access. But Chad thinks he had found a way around the rules.

"I've been really, really quiet, and there's a storm coming Sunday," Ochocinco said. "That's one of the things that I do when I'm back: I have something. I keep you on the edge of your seat.

"NFL, I would like to apologize to you guys early. I understand. I read all the fine print in the letters you sent, but I did find loopholes. I found loopholes."


Chad might think it's a valid loophole, but the league likely will disagree with his interpretation.

I fucking love Ochocinco.

[DaFace]

The guy's a bit obnoxious, but I can't help being intrigued.

[doomy3]

Ochocinco is one of the best entertainers EVER in the NFL.

He is funny, unlike guys like TO.

I fucking love Ochocinco.

I agree. He's really grown on me.:)

Sorry, I can't help but be entertained by this guy. It was a shame that he wasn't so carefree last season, but it's good to see him get back to his old self now.

GREAT! Mike Brown gave up a TD

[doomy3]

I mean, really. Everything this guy does is fucking awesome.

[Rain Man]

He used to be entertaining, but now he's kind of sad. I think the difference is that he used to be a good football player who was entertaining on the field, and now he's a mediocre football player who aspires to be a D-list celebrity.

[theultimatekcchiefsfan]

I wish he would just go away. He is a big cry baby. His Hall of Fame Jacket stunt was one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. This will just be another stupid ass stunt.

Nope, I'm serious. Love him.

I see someone is in need of a sense of humor...or to have the stick pulled from their ass.

Roger Goodell will be along shortly to fine Chad for entertaining his fans again.

Oh good grief. You can't see the difference between having a personality and being a fucking sideshow?

When's his contract due?

Damnit Scott!:cuss:

[Mecca]

Oh good grief. You can't see the difference between having a personality and being a fucking sideshow?

As long as he's not breaking the law why does it matter?

Every job has a class clown.

[Rain Man]

Dude has his priorities all wrong. He needs to be concentrating on recovering his reputation as a football player. Right now he's just a journeyman who's not a team player, and that's not a good career position.

[Mecca]

Uh...how is he a journeyman?

[KCCHIEFS27]

Mediocre? The guy has had ONE down year and that was because he had Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing to him for most of the season. You know where Fitzpatrick is now? The Bills. Third string. Behind Trent Edwards and Gibran Hamdan. He is still a great player. You'll see.

[Bugeater]

What the hell would you know about having a job?

[Mecca]

If they keep Palmer on the field, not only will Chad be back, Chris Henry has a big year.

[-King-]

If they keep Palmer on the field, not only will Chad be back, Chris Henry has a big year.

Henry will have a big first game that's for sure. He'll be covered by Alphonso Smith. If that's not a mismatch, I dont know what is.

[DBOSHO]

being penalized for celebrations is fucking stupid.

Chad is an ENTERTAINER. and what do people watch and go to football games for?

to be ENTERTAINED

[Rain Man]

The guy had 500 yards and 10 yards per catch last year in 13 games. Yippee for him. He can start clowning around again when he hits 1,200 yards this season. Perform first, then do your little schtick.

Did you really not understand that he was playing with a backup QB?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Here's where we agree. One of the things I LOVED about watching football in the mid 70's, 80's and early 90's was that the NFL wasn't as conservative as it is now.

So many people have forgotten that it IS, at it's heart, a game.

And now it's just fuckin' business. People can have that 5, 6, and even 7 days a week.
We don't need that shit on game day Sunday.

[Rain Man]

Did you really not understand that he was playing with a backup QB?

Do you really not understand that he's supposed to be a premier receiver? 22 guys off the street can get 500 yards in a season.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Man this guy is great. I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve....it was the worst day of the year for me when he got off twitter. The man is what he is and that is a great football player that will have fun and be himself when he's playing the game.

Honestly he was pretty quiet last season. Both on the field and off, but he was playing without his star QB and he had an injury issue himself

[Mecca]

Do you really not understand that he's supposed to be a premier receiver? 22 guys off the street can get 500 yards in a season.

So 1 down year with basically an entire season with a backup QB nullifies everything else he's done?

[Rain Man]

So 1 down year with basically an entire season with a backup QB nullifies everything else he's done?


I've liked the guy on the field for years, but if I'm him coming off a 500-yard season, I think I'd be concentrating more on football and less on my celebrity wannabe career. Randy Moss played with a backup all year and got 1,000 yards and 11 TDs. Dwayne Bowe played with a backup all year and got 1,000 yards and 7 TDs. And neither of them is on record saying that they were unmotivated last year.

I think there's a good chance he'll come back strong this year. He's just mouthing off now before he proves it, and I think that's kind of a stupid move.

[KCChiefsMan]

I always get a kick of Chad Johnson, I think the guy is a bit of an attention whore but he can back up everything he says. I think he is out to have fun and likes to entertain, I really hate it when people put him on the same page as TO, they are completely different cases of headcases.

[teedubya]

You can schedule tweets to post at anytime... I bet he has a tweet scheduled when he is on the field.

[salame]

I love chad

Yeah I never understood the dumbasses that lumped Ocho in with TO. He might have been a little selfish but who isn't. TO destroys teams even if he does have great stats.

[beach tribe]

Wow, I'm surprised at the man love.


I think the guy is a self indulgent moron.

"LOOK AT ME!!!!!!"
"WATCH THIS"!!

"NO REALLY LOOK, I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING COOL"!!

Dude changed his name so his jersey would say Ocho Cinco.

I'm sorry, but I think he's an idiot.

[beach tribe]

Did you really not understand that he was playing with a backup QB?

So was D Bo.

Hell D Bo was playing with a 3rd stringer.

That said, I think Chad can be a hell of a player, but I think he packed it in last season when Palmer wasn't there.

I would want him on my team.

[Delano]

I have really enjoyed Chad on Hard Knocks this year.

Without him, Palmer, and the rookies making fun of Andre Smith, the show would be unwatchable. Oooh, and the Brown family is an easy target.

[Otter]

Mecca came running in with a blanket over his head and mascara running down his face screaming 'leave TO alone' as well when we came to the consensus he's a self absorbed, prima donna that nobody wants on their team.

Says a lot right there.

He was trying to call Marvin Lewis at 5:30 in the morning.

The glasses are a fucking riot.

[Buehler445]

So?

What's wrong with having a personality? I really really dislike this idea that all football players need to act like robots.

We know. You've said that already, but why. The last Ochocinco conversation we had, I asked you why does a team need personality? If a "robot" player and a "personality" player have the same contributions on the field, why are you taking the "personality" player? Isn't it all about production? I don't think you answered me the last time I asked.

As for my take on Chad, he's funny. He's funny in the same way that the douxhey funny guy at parties is. Fun to watch, fun to laugh at, but you're glad you don't ever have to rely on him. That's the way I feel. He's entertaining, but I'm glad he doesn't spew that shit on my team.

Personally, I think he's a toolbag. Yeah, he's a playmaker and has incredible speed and abilities, but the dude's dumb. He eats McDonalds multiple times a day for fuck's sake. If he even had a ten cent head, he could do great things, but he's content with mediocrity and being funny.

Who dey think gonna beat them Bengals in the ratings? Nobody! Based on the first three weeks (of five), the Bengals’ “Hard Knocks” show is setting a HBO record for the series.

This year’s “Hard Knocks” is averaging 3 million viewers a week, slightly ahead of the 2007 “Hard Knocks” with the Kansas City Chiefs (2.9 million, the previous record after three weeks). Ratings for all five weeks will be available by the end of next week, says Ray Stallone, HBO Sports spokesman.

“The series has performed exceptionally well,” he says.

Yep, he said he wants to be better than Rice. He doesn't have the will to be like Rice.
You don't get in Rice's shape by eating at McDonalds every day.

Ocho Cinco is cut like mofo. When his head/heart are in the game he is an elite WR.
He is also funny as hell. Did you see how he got girlfriends phone number? Waited til she fell asleep on the plane then dialed his number from her phone. Child please!

Well everyone has an opinion. Mine is that he's an idiot, but it's just an opinion.

[wild1]

What, is he going to twitter from the end zone after a TD?

Definetely a subjective thing. Funny and idiotic often aren't that far apart.

He's playing with his old team mate Rivers and a pretty decent MLB in Dhani Jones.

I haven't seen anything on the show that indicates he isn't happy there.

I fucking love me some Chad Johnson, Ochocinco, whatever he wants to be called yesterday, today, or the day after that. He's fun, funny, and entertaining on top of being a great football player. That 1st & 10 episode just made me like him even more and I hope he continues with all his antics (and high level of play) if for nothing else but to keep pissing off all the haters

Agreed, he seems focused and enthusiastic on HK; a high-drafted rookie working for a spot on the 1st team.
RapedOnRectum will post any random piece of drivel just to hear himself type. Thus over 8000 posts in his first few months.
