Possibly one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
Chad Ochocinco had a kick ass, environment killing, black instrument of mechanical death built for his 32nd birthday. Check it out.
As a general rule, people who get facial tattoos are just a little bit “off”. They may not be full on crazy, but I wouldn’t leave them alone with the steak knives or anything.
I’m taking a break from twitter, but someone gave me this link where Chad Johnson talked about getting the thing you see below.
We’ve seen athletes endorse presidential candidates in the past, but how awesome would it be for someone to rep their prez choice in the middle of a game?
That’s what Chad Johnson planned to do last Sunday vs. the Houston Texans. Pro Football Talk has the scoop:
“We’re told that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson a/k/a Chad Javon Ochocinco had a special touchdown celebration planned for Sunday’s game at Houston, if he had actually managed to, you know, score a touchdown.
Per a league source, Johnson had a Barack Obama banner stashed in each end zone, which he planned to retrieve and unfurl if he had scored.
Such an action surely would have drawn a stiff fine, along the lines of a $30,000 penalty.”
I’m SO pissed we didn’t get to see this! Roger Goodell and the boys would have had a hissy-fit but it totally would have been worth it. The Bengals entire season is already in the toilet, why not make history?
The Bengals play Jacksonville this upcoming Sunday… let’s hope Chad still has this TD celebration in his plans.
I may talk a lot of smack about ESPN, but every now and then they put on some very entertaining television. Occasionally they team up Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith to argue with each other and I LOVE it.
The topic of Friday’s show was Pacman Jones and how black athletes tend to be under the spotlight for off the field troubles more than their white counterparts. Stephen A Smith raised the point that since white people make up the majority of this country, big businesses (including the NBA & NFL) have to cater to the viewing public (i.e. white people), and therefore black athletes must conform to what “the viewing public” finds favorable.
It’s a really good discussion, check out the video below. (lasts about 4 minutes long)
This issue is not as simple as “don’t get arrested”, because there are plenty of black athletes who stay out of legal trouble, yet face tremendous criticism (Floyd Mayweather, Chad Johnson).
