You know, sometimes with the NFL Draft, you’ll bring in a player that just fits perfectly. Here’s how new Denver QB Tim Tebow described his first meeting with notoriously-intense coach Josh McDaniels:
The NFL Draft Is Over: Time To Make New Friends!
↵↵“There was passion. It was just intense, and it was ball, and it was juice. The juice level in that room was high, and it was awesome.”
↵↵God I’m excited for those two to fail miserably.
↵Err.. Did we say that out loud? Meant to say... “Looks like there’s a bright future in Denver!”
↵But other places, the transitions aren’t always so seamless. Here’s what Bengals’ superstar Chad Ochocinco said this weekend via Twitter:
↵
↵I've texted all the draft picks so far... [The] only one [that] hasn't hit me back is Shipley :(
↵
↵That would be Jordan Shipley, Texas WR, and a standout member of this year’s Bass Pro Shops All-Real-American team:
↵
↵
↵There are more photos of him hunting here. What a surprise that Shipley wasn’t in a hurry to respond to Ochocinco’s text messages... Still, never one to take a hint, Ochocinco put on the full-court social media press:
↵
↵@jordan_Shipley man if you don't return my text you ain't super-sizing when we go to McDonalds and I'm gonna flat your car tires #serious
↵
↵I think he meant truck tires there. Lord knows Mr. Shipley doesn’t just drive a regular car like some yankee. But then Chad, feeling ignored, grew more animated:
↵
↵@Jordan_shipley where the f%#% are you at? I'm level 3 pissed, tweet me back now, draft is over, we are suppose to bond now #cigars
↵
↵Um, is it too late to bring Hard Knocks back to Cincinnati and have these two room together?
↵
↵48 Hours-jokes aside, it’s cool to see Chad reaching out to rookies like that. And for all their outward differences, Shipley and Ochocinco will probably become good friends as Bengals. Not to go all Remember the Titans on you, but that’s why football is awesome.
