Yesterday, Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco proclaimed that he’ll be the new ESPN, via USTREAM broadcasts during which he’ll call the NFL’s news makers and get to the bottom of all relevant stories.
As of this posting, he’s doing one right now.
But it just occurred to us that Chad is actually presenting the show that George Costanza initially pitched to NBC.
“You see, it’s just like life,” Costanza said. “You know, you eat, you go shopping, you read. You eat, you read. You go shopping.”
Chad is in his dorm room at Georgetown College in Kentucky, and he’s got the camera on, and he’s just living his life.
He showed us the chicken wings and carrots that the team gave the players for an evening snack, pointing out that the recession is affecting NFL teams, too.
And then he ate them while talking into the camera. Along with a banana. And an apple.
He also complained about being in meetings from 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
The background noise consists of guys playing Fight Night on Xbox 360.
But yet it’s all strangely compelling. We’ve never before gotten a real-time glimpse into the realities of training camp, and it looks almost as boring as the slice of real life that George Costanza wanted to serve up in prime time.
So keep it up, Chad. It’s a helluvalot more interesting than watching television.
Ocho is a knob.
I’m glad he’ll never win a superbowl.
And no fine from Goodell yet? Roger is slipping …
Typical Bengals–cheap. The Vikings had steak and lobster (according to Shiancoe’s tweet).
OchoStinko: Tell us about the FIRST dance you are going to do in the Endzone!
As I tweeted to you at 4 am (nachocamacho44) Chad was at it all night. He was on from 9pm to 5am, at one point asked everybody for their phone number, so he could call one fan. The guy turned out to be a Ravens fan from Baltimore, in which Chad told him “i’ll pray for you guys”.
As a Bengals fan, I can say he’s eased a lot of the tension from his poor attitude last year, and genuinely appears as if he cares about the team and city again.
This makes the T.O. show look emmy worthy.
You can’t do what Ochocinco do
This will not get Chad a new contract….not that I’m going to stop watching….this is the best thing to hit the Internet since porn.
was the banana in between two apples? and were they not really a banana or two apples?
too easy
Everyone receives at least 15 minutes of fame and why not try to extend that. Bravo chad!
I do walk…. I do talk……. keep up the GOOD work Chad!
Only 14 other AFC teams to compete against for the AFC Title. Thanks Chad! Kewl.
You know, if you and the rest of the media would just ignore this gimp, he might just stop acting like a 2 year old. Thats how you get through the terrible 2′s, see, by showing them they are not the center of the world. Apparently Johnson’s mother never did that.
LOL @ Eddie Drycleaner
I dig Chad though.. even as a Steelers fan. There’s kind of a weird purity to what he’s doing.
CHILD PLEASE!
It takes a real dick face to talk about someones mom DcNiner. Who’s making millions? I’m sure you are not.
Florio here you are talking about Chad’s camp life being “strangely compelling” and 6 articles up you asking “…why do it?” (about Hard Knocks). Dude read your own articles. Has NBC softened your brain?
Crip2knight – Just an observation. Honestly, unless there IS a screw loose (a possibility) in Johnson’s head, then the alternative is the cultivation of the validation personality type (the whining, crying for attention type). So either it was his parents, usually the mother in this circumstance, or society, which is also a possibility.
As for millions, well, money doesn’t = happiness. Anyone who says otherwise is shallow.

Boo hoo, I hate Chad, he has fun. Thank god some of the posters have a sense of humor, the rest of you are a bunch of Goodell clones. And ooohhh, the Vikings had Lobster and Steak, wow, I’m sure NFL players have never had a meal like that before, I’d rather have my athletes eating chicken and fruit anyday.
