Chad says he and Carson like "Brokeback Mountain..."?
In a phone interview with Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, Chad Ochocinco provides plenty of quotes. But Chad has never struggled with talking the talk.
The question will be can he walk the walk after his struggles last season (53 receptions for 540 yards), which he blames on an intense off-season of doing nothing.
"The defense is sick now they're so good and we'll be better on offense because I'll be better," Ochocinco said. "I'm in unbelievable shape. I can run the Boston Marathon without stopping."
"I know people are trying to say we're mad at each other and all that, but we're good," he said. "We're like Brokeback Mountain. I'm going to be with Carson so much in July that I'm going to be the nanny (for his new twins).
"I'm going to babysit. We were getting down to the details. If he and the wife go out, they have to be back by three. I asked for permission to have company over."
With the "Brokeback Mountain" quote, it provides for a whole new context for when they film the HBO series Hard Knocks in Cincinnati this summer.
"I need the fans to embrace me. I know people are mad at me. I read the message boards, but I've apologized 85 times," Ochocinco said. "If they can embrace me, I can spread my wings and be myself. When they're mad at me, I don't know if I can be myself. I'm an emotional guy. I want them to know that I love them and I want to win. I want to be on point with everybody on the team and win. I know I've been frustrated when we haven't won. Maybe now when I vent, I should just do it to the fans on the message boards."
