Chad Ochocinco Wants to Tweet During Games

Then stop being a dumbass...

Chad Ochocinco informed the media earlier today that he plans to tweet during games. My inconsequential advice to the NFL: DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

Okay, I hate some of what General Goodell has done to the league, and I agreed with Johnson (I can't really call him Ochocinco) when he pointed out that N.F.L. now stands for No Fun League. Taking away touchdown dances and celebrations is like not telling your friends you just hooked up with Carmen Electra. It's a world-class feat, but getting fined for rubbing it in you friends' faces? Not cool. Anyway, I appreciate Johnson's rebellious ways to the league, putting on excessive celebrations and absorbing the fines, changing his name to Ochocinco, racing a horse, and his crazy antics are endless. However, allowing Johnson to tweet during games could lead to a future that the NFL does NOT want.

Picture this: The Bear and Packers are clashing in a bitter, freezing December game that will decide the playoff fate of both storied franchises. It's 3rd & 6 and Jay Cutler calls in a play-action pass designed to get TE Greg Olsen in the seam for the first down. Cutler takes the snap, looks off the safety and fires a bullet into Olsen who drops the pass and forces da Bears to punt. In a fit of rage, Cutler walks over to the sideline, picks up his Blackberry, and sends out a Tweet: "Knew the play call was bogus. Shouldve hit Hester deep, Olsen has got bricks for hands." Before the nation can react to Cutler's tweet-attack, Fox's cameras pan out on Chicago's bench to display countless Chicago players on their cell phones. Many aren't even paying attention to the game, but are texting, tweeting, and fixing their fantasy football lineups. And, even worse, this is not an isolated incident. Roy Williams called out Wade Phillips during the 3rd quarter of a game, Adrian Peterson called out his offensive line after he was unable to convert on a 4th & 1, and Mark Sanchez accidentally tipped off the opposing defense, and this all happened during the 4 o'clock games.

Of course that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but not by a landslide. Just imagine seeing a player pull out a cell phone during a game. Disgraceful. And, Chad's twitter history isn't so clean, considering he compared the death of Michael Jackson to 9/11.

I hope the NFL puts a $1 million fine down for anyone who even brings a cell phone onto the field, because there are some things that really aren't worth the possible repercussions.
