REEBOK SAYS “NO” TO OCHO CINCO!

10 09 2008

 

 

 

When  Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, I thought it was a brilliant move for several reasons. First of all,the sales of the the new Ocho Cinco jersey will sky rocket…We all know how Johnson has grown frustrated with the Bengals as an organization, that a few seasons ago seemed to be on a verge of a Super Bowl berth. With a myriad of arrest, waiving key players, and a consistently inept offense, I see why Chad wants to get out of dodge. 

 

Now the NFL (a.k.a. the NO FUN LEAGUE) is hating, once again. Ocho, is not yet allowed to wear his new name on his jersey according to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello , “He has a financial obligation to Reebok, which produces the jerseys available to fans. That has to be resolved before the on-field jersey can be changed. “The same obligation exists for any player that changes his number or name.”

VINCE YOUNG DISAPPEARING ACT?

10 09 2008

 

  

After Vince Young left Sunday’s game after a knee injury has he gone AWOL? According to WKRN-TV,  the Titans are concerned about the “mental state” of their field general after suffering a knee sprain against the Jags, that may keep him out for up to four weeks. I am sure Vince is upset over suffering an injury in the first game of the season, but that is no reason for Jeff Fisher to call the police. Young apparently left his cell phone at home when he left his house on Monday.  When Fisher was unable to reach Young, he decided the best plan of action was to call the “po-po”.  The story goes on to mention that Young had an unloaded handgun in his car (Tennessee law permits unloaded handgun in a vehicle as long as no ammunition is present). Why would they allow you to carry a weapon with no ammunition…what’s the purpose? I digress. Anyway…the way this incident was reported, you would think that Vince Young was trying to kill himself over a knee injury. Just because a team can’t get in touch with their star player, doesn’t constitue them getting the law involved to find him. Fisher, should have just called Young’s agent instead of the police. According to Vince’s agent, he was doing what most men in America were doing Monday night, watching football and eating wings.
