Palmer’s wife slams door on idea of Ochocinco moving in
Earlier this week, Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco said he was going to be staying with quarterback Carson Palmer in July in order to make up for lost time after the wideout skipped most of the team’s OTA sessions.
But apparently Mrs. Palmer has nixed that idea:
Carson said Shaelyn got either a text message or e-mail from a friend, saying Ochocinco planned to stay with the Palmers in the days leading up to training camp. Shaelyn gave birth to twins — a boy and a girl — on Jan. 20.
“As soon as I walked in the door from work the other day, she just gave me that look,” Palmer said. “I’m like, ‘Whoa, calm down. It’s media stuff. It’s Chad being Chad.’
“I told her, ‘Don’t worry. I haven’t made any commitments to having to clear out the boxes in the (spare) room to make a bed for him. Don’t worry about that. It’s not going to happen.’ ”
Undeterred, Ochocinco keeps insisting he’s staying with the Palmers.“No,” Carson said. “I just told him that unless he’s picking up my mortgage for the month of July and August, he can’t stay. He’s not living for free. I don’t need another kid around the house.”
I’ve been critical of Ochocinco this past offseason, stating that he’s been more of a distraction than a funnyman like most perceive him to be. And his face tattoo joke was flat out stupid.
But I’ve got to admit, him telling the media that he’s staying over at the Palmer house is pretty damn funny. I can’t get the image of Chad showing up at Carson’s front door with an overnight bag and a big ass smile on his face out of my head. Or him knocking on the door of the master bedroom and asking to borrow a toothbrush because he forgot his.
Hilarious.
