If you're Chad Ochocinco, the true nature of reality is fluid and unclear. Don't like your name? Change it to a number! Don't like your team? Demand a trade! Change your mind? Pretend everything is back to normal, and start working on your next touchdown celebration! Anything is possible, and nothing is forbidden.
That's why it's no surprise that his latest plan is a unique blend of technological savvy and headache-inducing hijinks. Ochocinco told Houston radio station KGOW that he's "... going to really make it fun. I'm using Twitter during games, during halftime, after the games. I'm going to be taking it to the next level."
Charlie Villanueva and Shaquille O'Neal already tried this in the NBA, with mixed results, but will Ochocinco actually follow in their footsteps? There are a lot of places to hide a cell phone or Blackberry on a football field, but we have a feeling that they'd be crushed before Chad can get any tweeting in. Still, if anyone can do it, it's Ochocinco. How do you feel about Ochocinco's Internet adventures, SportsNation?- In this tweet, Chad helpfully offers to assist the Worldwide Leader in our endless quest for ratings. What a guy!
- Are Ochocinco and Takeo Spikes on the outs? Chad seems to think so, as he accuses Spikes of treating him like a "step child."
- After we asked him to help host "SportsNation," Chad threated to put us all out of work. We'll believe it when we see it.
“I agree on the sidelines might be a little much but before and after the game should be cool and during half time in the locker room should be allowed too. I just don't wanna see a bunch of players on the sidelines tweeting and stuff.

“Johnson has always run his mouth - until the season goes south and then he's mysteriously quiet. I used to love listening to some of his verbal warfare with guys like McAlister. He's an incredible physical talent with a 10 cent brain and attitude. With him you have to hope that he doesn't face any adversity or feel slighted that he's not getting targeted enough or that he doesn't have any bad games that he has to accept any criticism or blame for.
