Ochocinco: Kicker

[Finalnight]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. ? Chad Ochocinco has added another wrinkle to his colorful career by kicking an extra point.

Cincinnati's all-time leader in catches and yards receiving connected after the Bengals first-half touchdown as coach Marvin Lewis held out Shayne Graham as a precaution because of a groin injury. Ochocinco also kicked off to start the second half Thursday night.

Graham, fourth in NFL history in field goal accuracy, signed a one-year contract for this season after being named the Bengals franchise player.

Ochocinco had never attempted a kick in exhibition or regular-season games during his eight NFL seasons, the first seven under the name Chad Johnson. But he has kicked in practices.

Oh, and the new Brett Favre Sears commercial is teh funny, but not up on the interwebs yet.

Watched the game tonight. He's a pretty good kicker. He kicked an extra point in the second quarter. And kicked-off to start the 2nd Half, the kick went inside the ten year line.

It is his number in Spanish. He is number eighty five, hence ocho-cinco.

Ochocinco is fucking awesome. I just watched that on sports center.

Ocho cinco translates to "eight five" not "eighty five."

That would be Eighty and Five.

On this kicking, 85 had this to say:

??Esteban? Ochocinco is back, the most interesting footballer in the world,? Ochocinco said. ?Everyone has to remember, I?ve always said that soccer is my No. 1 sport. I think Ronaldinho would be proud of me right now.?

The Favre commercial was supposed to air saturday but I guess FOX decided to air it tonight. Still not online yet, just the outakes from it.

That's how you say eighty-five in Spanish.

Hmm, i thought you could contract numbers in spanish if you wanted too.

Btw, bengals won because of the extra point.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

as much as I despise him as a seemingly selfish showboat @ his default position of WR, he just earned a lot of points for being an actual team player for once with some pretty clutch kicking...he actually looked like a legit kicker...

No, you contract 16-29. Nothing else.

This is actually something that has always bothered me about this story.

 

[Reckoner]

Well he doesn't really catch the ball anymore, so I guess this is the next step in a downward spiral.

It shouldn't, because he's just considering it as two numbers, "8" and "5". Thus, he calls it Ocho Cinco.

 

[fustercluck]

aw was hoping for a video. Still cool though. What was that weird kind of PAT kick that Flutie did in his last year with the Pats?

 

[chalmers]

Why do people get upset that he calls it ocho cinco and it doesn't translate perfectly to what you want it to? OH GOD NO CALL THE POLICE

 

[Krazy4Real]

I love Chad. I wish the bears could get him.

 

[geecee]

Youtube's got it now, if you want video of it (search ochocinco kicking). He actually looks pretty good. If you didn't tell me it was him, I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Except his number is 85, not 8 5.

Have you never heard anyone reference a players number in that fashion? Like 22 as two two or double deuce or some other slang?
