Another Ochocinco Drop. Should He Be Dropped Too?

Are Chad Ochocinco's days at a Patriot numbered?  Nobody is talking, and that could be bad.

Ochocinco was in on more plays today against the Buffalo Bills, but he had a huge drop at the most crucial time if the game. Tom Brady threw a beautiful third-and-4 pass over Ochocinco's right shoulder inside the Buffalo 5-yard line. The wideout ran a perfect route and had two steps on cornerback Leodis McKelvin, but Ochocinco let the ball -- and the certain touchdown -- clang off his fingers and dangle to the turf.

"It just got away from me," Ochocinco told a reporter at the Boston Globe after the game.  "I've got to come up with everything that comes my way.

Brady wouldn't discuss specifics. "Receivers, some days you catch them, some days you drop them," Brady said. "Quarterbacks, some days, it's a touchdown, some days it's an interception. That's the part of playing football. It's a long football season. We're not going anywhere. We'll be back."

How long will Brady, Belichick and the New England brass put up with this?  Ochocinco has been behind on learning the playbook and getting in playing shape.

He might be gone this week.

RickLimpert.info Picture of the Week: Ochocinco Lasts 1.Cinco Seconds on Bull

NFL football players sure are doing strange things to keep busy during the lockout.  Reggie Bush is Tweeting and hanging out by the pool, A.J. Hawk is coaching a flag football team, and Chad Ochccinco has taken up bull riding.

NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco rode a bull for 1.5 seconds during intermission of a professional bull riding event on Saturday at the Gwinnett Arena.

The 10-year NFL veteran and six-time Pro Bowler, didn’t make it through one buck by Deja Blu, a 1,500-pound bull. He was nearly stomped by the Bulls’ back legs while scrambling to get out of the way.

“I was mad that I couldn’t ride it out of the chute,” said Ochocinco, who received a $10,000 appearance fee.

Ochocinco, who has been working out in Atlanta and running the track at the Marist School, started tweeting about riding a bull on twitter.com recently. Professional Bull Riders president Sean Gleason issued him a challenge.

Ochocinco Fined $25,000 for using Twitter During Game

Fining Bengals's WR Chad Ochocinco isn't going to stop him from doing what he wants to do.

According to NFL.com, No. 85 was fined $25,000 for 1) having an electronic device on the sideline and 2) posting to a social media site during the Bengals' preseason win over the Eagles last week ... making his experience from the game just a bit more painful that it already was.

League policy prohibits players from using sites such as Twitter and Facebook 90 minutes before kickoff up until the conclusion of postgame media sessions.

Ochocinco tweeted the following during the verboten times (kickoff was at 8:07 p.m.):

"Just talk with Kelly Washington , Desean Jackson, Geoff Pope, Hank Baskett and I caught a ball from Mike Vick, I love prw-game warm up" (6:50 p.m.)

"Man Im sick of getting hit like that , its the damn preseason (expletive)! 1day I'm gone jump up and start throwing hay makers" (9:53 p.m.)

The second tweet occurred shortly after Ochocinco was leveled while running a pass pattern in the middle of the field.

Ochocinco has more than 1 million followers on Twitter.
