I don't understand all the Ochocinco hate, he loves to play and tries hard, but wants to have some fun.

 

[SabresRule]

Me either.

Ochocinco does not have a crime record.

 

[Ramy]

I have no problem with him as long as he doesn't become a distraction.

Just my opinion, but I think Chad Ochocinco has toned it down in some ways, developed an ounce of respect for others and his coach, and maybe even learned a little bit about the right thing to say, and do.

That is actually a pretty darn cool thing to do for the fans. Similar to when Arthur Blank bought the Falcons several years ago and lowered the cost of lots of upper deck season tickets to $100 to ensure a sell out.

You'd have to pay me $100 to watch a football game from the upper deck. On the other hand...

Twenty-three years ago, a client of mine gave me 6 tickets to see the Patriots Giants pre-season game at Foxboro. He said that two of them were at the 50 yard line, down front. Actually they were at the 47 yard line, second row. You couldn't find worse seats. During the pre-season, there are about 100 guys on each sideline, with half of them standing up blocking your view, and to make things worse, Foxboro had a severely crowned field back then, and even if no players were in your way, when a receiver ran down the opposite side of the field, you couldn't see his legs below his knees, meaning you had no idea if he was in bounds or out. Fortunately, the other four of his tickets were half way up the stands, and that was the best place from which to watch the game (if you didn't mind the foul language and the beer being spilled on you)

Have you ever sat in the upper deck of the GA dome? It actually isn't bad at all. I personally don't like the Falcons, but as long as you aren't in a corner I don't mind being up high at all.

That's a class act what he did. I hope he gives them away to the military or some kids in need from the inner city or something. That is a way to lead! I have never had an issue with him and I hope it returns in dividends for him.
