When it comes to the new technology that is Twitter, Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco reminds us of a kid who found a box of firecrackers in the trunk of his uncle’s car. He knows damn well he might end up blowing off a finger or two. And if he does he’s gonna have a damn good time doing it. Tonight, Ochocinco went on an extended string of “yo mama” jokes (in 140 characters or less), with a periodic “yo daddy” joke and one off-color “knock knock” gag that might be enough to divert Sarah Palin’s attention from David Letterman. The whole thread is right here on Ochocinco’s Twitter page. Though we’re not sure he “gets it” when it comes to having sustained success at the highest level of his chosen sport, Chad is a character, and the NFL needs more guys like him. UPDATE: Actually, we just realized he took a shot at us, too. “How can they be called pro football talk when none of them are or were pros?” Chad asks. Well, Chad, how can you be called “Ochocinco” when you ain’t Mexican?
