Ochocinco’s days as a New England Patriot are over but his future as a pop culture icon may be very rewarding.
On Thursday, CHAD OCHOCINCO was cut by the New England Patriots after one uneventful year with the team. Labeling himself UNEMPLOYED BLACK GUY on his Twitter account, a disappointed but never bitter Ochocinco thanked the Patriots and their fans for the experience…
Ochocinco then packed up his polka dot Felix the Cat traveling bag and boarded a flight back to Miami…
But being the self-described Unemployed Black Guy does allow Chad some QT with his kids…
And at least dude hasn’t lost his sense of humor…
Gotta love Chad. The guy keeps it fun and positive always. One of the more interesting characters in sports.
At 34, it remains to be seen if pro football will be a part of Ochocinco’s future. His track record as a team distraction undoubtedly will play a part with NFL GMs in getting an opportunity to play with another team.
But in the world of reality TV and other pop culture projects, there is certainly a market for the six-time Pro Bowl selection.
Personally, I haven’t seen any drop off in Chad’s game. He looks like he can still play at a high level to me.
But I guess some people are more concerned with his off-the-field social endeavors and tweeting at a high level. Smh.
