For a guy who has done next to nothing this season and who swore off the local media last season, Chad Ocho Cinco has been doing a lot of talking today.
He opened up quite a bit in a conference call to Dallas-area media earlier in the day. Then after practice he decided to open up to the local media:”That’s America’s team. It’s one of the greatest organizations ever. This week, to show my respect for Dallas and its owner, Jerry Jones, I’m going to score and I’m going to kiss the star. I’m telling you, I’m not being rude about anything, I’m going to kiss the star. It’s going to be fun. I’m excited to go to Dallas. You know, T.O., you’ve got two of the don’t-know-what-is-going-to-happen-next receivers playing. It’s going to be fun.”
I guess Chad feels intimidated by not being the loudest receiver in a football game. Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens has had his own issues with the media this week so it makes sense for Ocho Cinco to get a little antsy. Lord knows we need something to get excited about from this matchup.
