gregstephens Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-7774-Cincinnati-Bengals-Examiner~y2009m6d25-Chad-Ochocinco-compares-today-with-911I apologize in advance for yet another Ocho thread, especially one connected to Twitter, but I found this one so over the top I went ahead and opened it.It does actually cause me football-related concern that this man has lost his mind and that it will greatly impact this team.

ArmyBengal Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Well, I can see where these two deaths may strike people a bit, but to compare them to the tragedy of 9/11 could quite possibly be the dumbest sh*t i've EVER heard.He did apologize, but wow...

Kinda like Mr. Wonderlik Vince Young.I always thought Fredo was just a big jerk. I feel like I owe him an apology. He's not a jerk--he's mentally challenged!

I'm as shocked as any one about the passing of MJ, but I would never, ever compare any celebrity death to 9/11. That's dumb on so many levels I doubt I could count them all if I spent the rest of my life trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 This is why Twitter will be the worst fad in human history. Who the heck needs to write every random thought that flitters through their head. Hmmm..I could go for a peanut butter banana sandwich. Opps I just yawned! Michael Jackson's death = 911. We report it as news and it may be the beginning of the end, though forums aren't much better than twitter for spewing hyperbole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Ocho does is ever wrong to them, regardless how out there it may be. Those of 'us' that may dare criticize Cincy's 'great one' are commonly labeled as 'haters'.

gregstephens Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey...guess what? My Ocho/9-11 story was picked up and commented on in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I mean they actually wrote an article about my article.Here...http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/stories/2009/06/26/ochocinco_jackson_fawcett_deaths.htmlFWIW...the person writing THAT article incorrectly writes 86, not me!!!!

Don't forget Hoosier. He may not post very much anymore, but nothing seems to ensure a visit from him quite as fast as a good Chad hatin'thread.

TJJackson Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 he's still a lovable idiot.Nothing lovable about himFind out how lovable your boss will find you if he finds out you've tanked at your job for an entire year, to the detriment of the entire companyFind out how lovable your wife and family will find you once the boss fires you (as any real boss in any real-life job would do) and you and the family are out on the streets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never that comfortable with the whole Twitter stalking thing so I gave it up after two or three posts.But, man, the people read that stuff like you would not believe.Heck, even the Atlanta Journal Constitution and our own Paul Daugherty resort to a little sensationalism on Ocho on occasion. I don't want it to define my writing, however, so I don't engage it in much. Just a little variety to spice up the readership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I doubt I can ever learn to love Chad again. That said, when Chad was having his meltdown over the size of his contract, and don't ever make the mistake of assuming it was about anything else, the Bengals responded by saying they'd consider a new deal if Chad ever put up the type of numbers he's capable of producing within this teams offensive scheme. FWIW, they pegged that potential production at....(wait for it)......1800 yards and more than a dozen TD receptions. So there it is, Chad. Do that much and I'll pretend to love you.

TJJackson Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 To get me to the point of pretending to like him.......in addition to everything Hair said above........he'd have to stop giving up on broken plays, particularly ones where a ball thrown his way gets intercepted, and start blocking for others, and there'd have to be at least one playoff win, and he'd have to STFU.I'm not holding my breath waiting for any of this, particularly the last item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTbOy Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Yea you can't compare people who died of natural causes to people who were killed, that is ridiculous...I agree that everyone shouldn't put down there every thought(Twitter) because some people are dumber than a doorknob and they should keep that to themselves...But I'm not a hater...
