Though Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco previously has said that he plans to take up boxing in the 2010 offseason, there’s a chance that the flamboyant wideout will be doing the flamenco instead of floating like a butterfly.
Per the Cincinnati Enquirer, producers of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars would like to add Ochocinco to the roster of contestants for the next season of the show, which will be conducted in early 2010. (A new season just launched this week. And I will never watch it, even if they move it to NBC.)
Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor is the only current NFL player to participate in the show. Others (including Warren Sapp, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, and Michael Irvin) signed up after their NFL careers had ended.
It’s unknown whether Ochocinco is interested. We have a feeling that, eventually, he’ll say something about it on his Twitter page.
Meanwhile, we predict that, if he does it, he’ll unveil at some point a new dance.
A dance called the “Child Please.”
Last sentence was a reach.
Child please.
Florio how can you not watch dancing with the stars? The women are unbelievable in their outfits. The last thing your going to Sonia to pay attention to the guys that are dancing
Do the dance gig Ochocinco. Boxing is a mans sport. Footballplayers can’t fight worth a damn. Watch this seasons Ultimate Fighter if you need proof. Hate to see you get killed!
Not surprised. “Hard Knocks” had 44% higher ratings this year than last year, and a lot of that was because of Chad. He’s a ratings booster.
He can box, catch, and kick. I’ll bet you anything he’s a good dancer too.

Tom Zibokowski was a gold gloves boxer. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Lets face it, DWTS is where you go when your career is in the sh!tter. It should be called ” Dancing with people who’s 15 minutes of fame have passed.
Hmmmm….sounds like a perfect place for Florio, I mean Mucho stinko.
“A new season just launched this week. And I will never watch it, even if they move it to NBC.”
Yeah, I used to say that. Then I walked in while my wife was watching it, and, day-ummmm! There are some seriously hot women on that show.
Look at it as porn you’re allowed to watch. Hell, if you can rig it so that’s one of the girlie shows you ‘suffer’ through so you get the TV all day Sunday, all the better.

I heard they were interested in Bill Parcells…

Chad mentioned did mention this on Twitter a few weeks back. He said he was on the phone with an exec for the TV show and that they wanted him to do it. If he signs the contract, he won’t be permitted to speak about it. They usually have a confidentiality agreement
