Come on, Let OchoCinco Tweet

You just gotta love Chad OchoCinco. The guy is a character who keeps finding ways to get his name mentioned at least every 30 minutues on ESPN. As a sports fan, I'd love to have Chad on my team. Sure sometimes he can be a troublemaker and act like a spoiled brat, but that's just how it is sometimes with star wide receivers. They like the spotlight. Chad Ochocinco is funny off the field and a legitimate touchdown threat on the field, and I like that.

Chad's latest antics... He said in a televised interview that he plans to twitter during games on the sideline. How fun would that be as a Bengal fan to get to hear the thoughts of one of your star players during games?? I'd love that. Some people argue that he's selfish, just wanting to promote himself, needs to be more of a team player and watch the defense while he's on the sidelines. I say, who cares it's Chad Johnson, I mean, Ochocinco. The boring Bengals could use some attention. They owe some excitement to their fans, and until they start winning more consistently, Ochocinco may be all they get...

It's too bad though. There's already a rule against having cell phones or such devices on the side lines during games. Bubble busted for Chad! Even though he's known for breaking some rules. What's not clear about the rules is whether the use of such devices is allowed during the locker rooms at half time. So there's still some hope for Bengals fans. (Even though it's not just Bengals fans who would be closely following in-game tweets by Chad. I know I'd be interested...)

That being said, it would get obnoxious if all the players started tweeting during games. Hopefully it won't come to that. Plus, let's face it, a lot of those meathead players (that we all love to watch) aren't as fun to listen to as Ochocinco.

Isn't it funny how twitter is taking over the world... that's another topic though!
