Chad Ochocinco’s Lambeau Leap was Staged (ZOINKS!)

The most popular question after Chad Ochocinco’s Lambeau Leap seemed to be, “How did Bengals fans get those seats?” By spending thousands of dollars? Friends of friends of uncle’s cousin’s friends? Lucky happenstance? No. Turns out, the tickets came from Ochocinco himself.

↵↵Bengals wide receiver Ochocinco sent out a message on Twitter saying he wanted to do a Lambeau leap following a touchdown, a privilege normally reserved for the home team. These three Bengals fans responded by saying they’d provide a friendly welcoming committee.

↵He took them up on the offer, got their contact information and sent out four free front-row tickets by certified mail to Mike Bergs’ home in Evanston, Ill.

↵↵Is nothing sacred anymore?
