Bengals interested in JaMarcus Russell?

While he may have only been trying to create a stir, Bengals’ receiver Chad Ochocinco said via his Twitter page yesterday that he would see JaMarcus Russell in camp. He then followed that up with: “did I just leak that info?”

Today, the Cincinnati Enquirer notes that the Bengals are one of several teams that have called about Russell, although the quarterback’s agent issued a “terse no comment” when asked about the rumor.

As of right now, it doesn’t appear that Russell has plans to join any team during their mini-camp. He and his agent will likely wait to see what teams are interested and then figure out where Russell will have to put in the least amount of work and then sign with that team. After all the effort he put in with the Raiders, there’s no need for him to overextend himself when he gets to his new team.

If he winds up with the Bengals, at least Carson Palmer would be there to show him how a quarterback is supposed to work. I’m not sure how beneficial it would be to put Russell on the same team as Ochocinco, but I’m sure the Bengals don’t care. That organization is a circus anyway.

Ochocinco: ‘MJ’s death just as sad as 9/11’

After the news of pop star Michael Jackson’s death reached the public, athletes everywhere started to share their disbelief on the web. One of those athletes was Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco, who said Jackon’s death was just as sad as the 9/11 tragedy.

“Okay, first Mrs. Fawcett now Mr. Jackson, please tell me that this is a mistaken rumor, if not this is just as sad as 9/11 …

okay not as bad as 911, its sad period, both situations my goodness people, they just said he is okay in the hospital …

The 9/11 was a bit over the top, i am just in an emotional state right now, bare with me while i regroup people, be back in 10 minutes …

Sorry 85 million times, today sucks man, i still have my jacket with the zippers on it, wow”

Comparing Jackson’s sad death to a national tragedy was just flat out stupid. Ocho obviously crossed the line, realized it and apologized. But this is proof that certain athletes should stay off sites like Twitter, where the public can read their half-wit thoughts at any time.
