NFL players will accessorize with pink this weekend in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, which has guys like Chad Ochocinco of the Bengals and Chris Johnson of the Titans jazzed. Earlier this week, Ochocinco was touting the fine-worthy special-order shoes, gloves and wrist bands he’ll sport on Sunday.
Johnson? Uh, think he might have ol’ 8-5 beat on this one.
The only fines facing Johnson on Sunday will be of the traffic variety.
Ah, they’re horrible! Look away!
Like he was on some twisted episode of “Sex And The City,” Chad Ochocinco has spent all day today on Twitter assembling his pink ensemble for Sunday’s game at Cleveland. Above are his cleats. The NFL declared October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and is allowing players to wear pink accessories; which for Ochco is like telling Elton John to “camp it up a bit.” Oh, you will regret this decision, NFL.

Earlier this week, Cincinnati WR Chad Ochocinco promised to perform the famous Lambeau Leap if he scored a touchdown against the Packers. The game’s at Green Bay, so you can only imagine how thrilled the fans would be if the Ocho came flying into their front row seats and looking for a hug.
(Hey, he found some Bengals fans! Wait, how did they get those seats?)
Well, the touchdown did indeed happen in the third quarter today. It was to give the Bengals the lead, as a matter of fact, something the Packer faithful probably didn’t expect at this point in the game. All of which is to say that if you taunt some extra salty Green Bay fans like that, don’t be surprised when you get a fat middle finger waved at you on national television.
Picture & video, for Puritans’ sake, is below the fold.
• The Bronx Bombers blow up in a Tuesday night fight with the Blue Jays.
• And if Derek Jeter’s gonna brawl, he’s gonna need a mighty moustache.
• Seems that Wisconsin civic leaders have a problem with 12-year-old albino boys playing football with a tinted helmet visor.
• A Walter Payton statue in front of Soldier Field: A tribute to a Chicago Bears legend, or an insult to America’s veterans?
• ESPN will truly offer a college basketball marathon, as Monmouth & St. Peter’s agree to tip off at 6 a.m. Eastern.
Chad Ochocinco: Delusional, with a side of megalomania? Sure. But he’s also entertaining. And you should probably get to know him this week, because after Sunday he may not be around.
In a conference call with reporters who cover the Packers this morning, our protagonist said that he is planning on doing the Lambeau Leap if he scores a touchdown at Green Bay. Won’t that like, hurt, due to all the punching and being pummeled with beer bottles and wedges of Styrofoam cheese? No, says Ocho. Read more…
The NFL and social media have been on a collision course for months. In one corner, you’ve got players like Chad Ochocinco that have spent the offseason connecting with and entertaining their fans, hoping to shed some light on their lives and perhaps add a little cachet to their marketability.
In the other corner, you have Roger Goodell, who has decreed that Tweeting from games is an evil sin that may help gamblers, even though gambling on sports doesn’t exist nope no way never (even if he didn’t say that, that’s what it comes down to). Today, the battle of fun vs. authority begins. Who’s winning?
• Threesomes, nudity, threatening to have sex with others - this Shawne Merriman-Tila Tequila story just keeps getting better & better!
• But sleeping around isn’t always so much fun - especially when it’s leading to the divorce of Melanie Oudin’s parents.
• The Dallas Cowboys are the hottest ticket in the NFL this year. It’s so hot, it’ll burn a $800-per-game hole in your wallet.
• Bode Miller wants to start his very own winery. Bottoms up!
• Ex-NFL lineman Orlando Brown breaks into his ex-wife’s house & trashes the place - but not before leaving a little present in her toilet.
Well, Ochocinco’s self-imposed Twitter ban lasted about five days, which is four-and-a-half days longer than I thought it would. What fresh mischief is he planning, and more importantly, will we care? Read more…
If all you know is that Chargers’ linebacker Shawne Merriman was arrested for choking buoyant reality diva Tila Tequila on Sunday, then you don’t know the elongated, PENTHOUSE FORUM version which just surfaced last night. This story gets quite a lot more naked, as it turns out.
Because frankly all of this was boring me until I found out it included Merriman’s attempt to have a threesome; a drunk Tequila walking in on it; Tequila then threatening to have sex with one of Merriman’s friends; Tequila getting naked as she made this threat and attempting to run out of the house; Merriman choking her to keep her from leaving. Am I leaving anything out? Read more…
We always knew it would end; we just didn’t think it’d be like this.
Strange news from TWITTER today; if he’s to be taken at his word (and, um, that’s always a risky proposition), Chad Ochocinco announced that he would be deleting his account. Naturally, he points the finger at rules set by the No Fun League.
(Do you see what you’ve done, Roger Goodell? DO YOU SEE?!)
If he’s gone, though, the announcement is sudden and curiously without a concurrent statement from the NFL. You’d think there’d be more surrounding something like this than a couple Tweets. At the very least, we’d like to know this: what rules?
