Ochocinco will no longer be a Patriot.

Sometimes, you try an experiment and it just doesn’t work out for all parties involved.  The great Ochocinco gamble turned out to be a loser for the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick.  In spite of all the work put in by the former Chad Johnson and the team, things just didn’t work out in New England even though Ocho behaved himself, didn’t do any public relations stunts, and was not controversial in the slightest.  In spite of his good behavior, the Patriots have cut Chad Ochocinco.

In his only season in New England, Ochocinco played in 15 games, starting 3.  He accumulated 15 receptions for 276 yards and a single touchdown.  Since he was drafted in 2001 by the Cincinnati Bengals, he has caught 766 passes for 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns.  He is a six-time Pro Bowl player and once led the AFC in receiving for 4 seasons in a row, an NFL record.

For his part, Ochocinco is not bitter about the experience, tweeting, “Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the ‘Patriot’ organization… fans were … wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
