Yes it's true, I think he's actually outdone himself this time. Ocho has declared that he could beat Michael Phelps "right now". And yes, he's talking about swimming. I wonder if he would want the same head start he got from that race horse. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080814/SPT02/808140365/1066
I saw this today on ESPN. I thought it was pretty funny. I don't mind him talking, even though he does talk to much. He's pure entertainment. Media-friendly guy for sure. We'll see how he does on the field this year.
I'm not convinced that he was joking. I heard the interview, as well this morning. Furthermore, he wasn't joking when he was complaining about his treatment by the Bengals. Nor was he joking this past summer when he began ranting and raving about the teams he wanted to go play for. And he certainly wasn't joking around when he gave that car to his girlfriend instead of the person who had won it in that raffle. I used to like him, as well. Now I just view him as annoying.
Who cares lol. Let him do whatever he wants with his life, we watch him on the football field not off the field (aside from his media talks).
I don't mind Chad so much. I think he says stupid things but at the same time I laugh and get a bit of enjoyment out of my day, so in the end it's all good.
Anyone who watched PTI yesterday could see that he was joking...wasn't what he said eerily similar to what he said about him and Palmer fighting and isn't it strange he had Palmer on there. It all seemed a little orchestrated to me. He was joking about this.
