ESPN the Weekend: Chad Ochocinco

Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco took time during ESPN the Weekend at Disney's Hollywood Studios to talk with me.

BR: You've gone from Chad Johnson to Chad Ochocinco. You've talked about Hachi Go and you've also vowed to change it back to Johnson if Jets CB Darrelle Revis shut you down in the playoffs. Is it safe to say you're staying Chad Ochocinco for now or is there another name you're thinking about?

CO: It's going to be what it is: Ochocinco. It's my wonderful last name. It's a brand. It's a way of life now. It's more than just a name, it's a way of life. So it's pretty cool and it's been a nice catch phrase. I think it's great.

BR: Your OCNN has been a monumental success and you've become an innovator in social media. What goals do you envision for the OCNN in the future?

OC: The sky is the limit as far as the OCNN goes. For me it's a brilliant idea. I think the people, the world would like to hear the media come from players and hear our perspective on how we feel about certain situations. I think it's refreshing. I'm sure they're sick of hearing and seeing the same old thing, and to hear our point of view is pretty cool.

BR: You've been lobbying for the Bengals to sign Terrell Owens should the Bills wide receiver become a free agent next month. Do you really think it's a possibility and would you seriously consider taking a pay cut? Is he that missing piece to a championship puzzle for Cincinnati?

CO: Yes. That [the pay cut] no. We can, I'm not sure how. I'm sure T.O. is willing to come and play with us. Again, we are an attractive team now that we're winning. We've turned the page on that, so why not? He can be the missing piece to helping us out.
