Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)

[Kindoy]

just something that bothered me about Ochocinco's interview. He said something like "T.O. has never had anyone opposite him like me" ... i mean i love Ochocinco, but Jerry Rice was pretty damn good. maybe he just forgot cause it does seem like that was forever and a year ago cause i don't think that was him being cocky...

[MonkFan4Life]

So he went to the Bengals.........oh well. Still think he would've been a pretty good addition here but, once again you all win.

Skins weren't even in the mix

With T.O. under contract, the names of the other interested teams emerge | ProFootballTalk.com

Looks like Shanahan was true to his word

You know what's nice, is that the Skins name rarely ever came up. I could have liked TO being here, but I like the fact that we are no longer the first name thrown out every time, or if we are, it doesn't stick. I also like that as a whole the Skins management doesn't seem to be guided by every whim and passing fancy of the media or fans.

Agreed. Odd that Rosenhaus would tell us who was interested after the deal was done, but I don't expect him to follow any rules, written or unwritten. Glad we weren't interested. I didn't think he and Donovan would have any issues at this stage in their lives, I just don't think we need him...plus he drops more balls than Carlos Rogers.

Ochocinco and T.O.? This should be interesting.

OchoUno?

Should be interesting to see how the Bengals offense will work with Ocho, TO, Gresham, Briscoe, potentially Matt Jones and Bryant. Funny how there's so much talk about what bad characters Ocho and TO are...yet Jones, Briscoe, and Bryant are the ones with the suspensions, and arrests.

Ocho and TO are not bad character guys although the media may potray them that way. They're just self promoters. Neither has ever had off the field issues. Ocho doesn't even drink. But I like this move for Cincy. They're quietly building a really nice team with a VERY underrated defense. I think they've got to be the favorite in their division.

I wouldn't quite call Cincy the favorite just yet. Signing merc's and breaking the law does not a division title bring.

TO definitely has the potential to rub guys wrong in the locker room. I think he's a guy that wears out his welcome very quickly. CJ is just a ham more than anything. Both guys work hard and play hard though.

Couldn't agree with the last point more. Both guys do an incredible job of working hard, staying in shape, and showing up on game day. TO's regimen, in particular, is nothing short of absurd. He has the cleanest eating habits (supposedly) I have ever heard. The same can't be said of Chad 'I love Mickey Ds' Ochocinco though.

I wonder what kinds of crazy schemes and celebrations these two will collaborate on...could reach a point of ridiculousness the league has never seen before.
