New England Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco drew more attention for a tweet about Monday's game than for what he did on the field against the Dolphins. Which was one catch for 14 yards.
Reacting to quarterback Tom Brady throwing for 517 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-24 win over Miami, Ochocinco tweeted: "Just waking up after a late arrival, I've never seen a machine operate like that n person, to see video game numbers put up n person was WOW."
Five New England receivers had more yards and three of the five had touchdown receptions.
ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi, appearing on sports radio WEEI, said Ochocinco better "drop the awe factor" and "stop tweeting and get in your playbook."
I like Tedy, really I do, but he needs to realize two things. 1. This is a whole new ballgame. Guys tweet about everything they do on and off the field. Chad is a habitual tweeter who will even tweet what he is having for breakfast. 2. He was saying something nice about his team. Who is not in awe of how badly Miami stunk it up in order for Brady to have a 500+ yard game?
I am not sure why Tedy does not like Ochocinco, but he needs to get over it. Unlike me, he is a paid analyst who needs to pretend to be unbiased. He is also no longer a Patriot and can't get his feelings hurt because he wasn't there when they were breaking records.
Get over yourself!

Bruschi is a total Pats homer and doesn't even try to hide it. Most of the time he can be somewhat unbiased, but when it comes to his Pats, he drank ALL the Kool-Aide. I don't have a problem with what Ochocinco tweeted. You're right Cindi, this is a new era and he was complimenting his team. Nothing wrong with that. Bruschi overreacted.
ReplyDeleteMatt ~ I have been accused of drinking the kool-aide many times. But if I was on National tv, I might put the cup down for a bit.
