Maybe He Should Just Go With Ochocinco-Johnson To Cover His Bases

Chad Ochocinco told NBC’s Bob Costas on the network’s pre-game show that if Jets’ corner Darrelle Revis shut him down in Sunday night’s game, he would change his name back to Chad Johnson, adding that the change would occur before Cincy’s first playoff game.

↵Well if you want to get technical about it, Ocho had exactly zero catches and zero yards in the Bengals’ 37-0 loss to the Jets. Of course, Chad did leave the game in the third quarter with a knee injury. So does the bet still stand if Chad only actually gets shuts down by Revis for half of the game?

↵Chad Whatever gets a chance finish what he started, or didn’t start, next week when the Jets and Bengals meet again in the playoffs. May I suggest a little “double or nothing?” If Revis shuts down Chad again, he has to change his name to Chad Revis. No knee tweak is gonna keep him from playing if that’s on the line.
