Chad Ochocinco’s Twitter Account Is Quickly Becoming As Annoying As Chad Ochocinco
Chad Ochocinco is not an unusual professional athlete because he likes attention; in fact, that’s pretty standard operating procedure for a high profile wide receiver (Keyshawn, TO, Moss, et al) in the NFL. But Ochocinco is a little bit different in that his need for public spotlighting often borders on desperation.
Such is the case with his Twitter account, which is quickly becoming, well, annoying. (Albeit humorous at times.) To wit: over the past 48 hours or so, Ochocino has tweeted about his upcoming deal with Trojan condoms, his Twitter prowess and his new tattoos (which was a joke and are fake), which are just bizarre and graphically illustrated. Some quotes, in no particular order:
Awesome, Ocho Cinco condoms, they’ll catch everything your Johnson shoots!!!
State of FLA on one side Double crosses on the other, OC is in between the eyes
I have a feeling twitter is gonna stop me again for to many twitts, if i stop thats what happened
But wait, there’s more less! Ochocinco has also discussed his “Brokeback” style bromance closeness with Carson Palmer leading into this season, leading everyone to believe that he’s just an awesome fella who’s excited about the season. Or perhaps not — as Mike Florio noted, this just smells like more of the same Chad, particularly as he prepares to try and sling some Ochocinco jerseys.
And, really, even if he’s just being a fun-loving type of guy who’s trying to interact with fans … wait, you know what? No. I’m not giving him the benefit of the doubt here, because it’s Chad Javon Ochocinco Johnson we’re talking about, and whether you’re a Bengals fan or not, you know that this guy is a self-serving prima donna who likes to cause trouble and make the public stare at him.
Seriously, though — I’m sorry if I sound like Skip Bayless or something, but at a certain point, even the biggest Twitterhead (I’m a huge fan of the forum) has to agree that Chad is out there trying to be weird and quirky and bizarre and what-the-hell-ever just because he needs the attention and he can’t let the spotlight go, even if it’s to train for a season and to actually be prepared when his team needs him.
