Ochocinco has came out and not been descret about his dislike for Shawne Merriman recent. Here are some of the quotes in no chronological order:
"I think back when we played last time," he continued. "I can't remember. I don't know. You know what, I think I copied his dance after I scored, and I think it pissed him off." -Ochocinco
"Tough? Why? That's not how I look at things. I'll whoop his ass, right now, like Will Ferrell. Yeah, like in 'Step Brothers."' -Merriman
"Merriman sent Ochocino a twitpic of the two players' faces superimposed over those of actors Ferrell and John C. Reilly in an advertisement for the movie "Step Brothers" with the message, "see u sunday."" -CBS Sports
"I will beat Shawne's head in, right now," he said. "It's not even fun. This is not in fun. This is personal. Bring it on. It is what it is. I think he might be one of the only people I don't really get along with. I want to fight. I'm not sure how to get the fight on without him suing me." -Ochocinco
"It would be a joke man," "It's like a little kid, you hold out your hand and you hold their head and they swing, you know, and they can't do anything. It's one of those things." -Merriman
"Roger has nothing to worry about in this case. I'll keep it legal -- as possible," -Merriman
Ochocinco is 6--1, 192 pounds. Merriman is 6-4, 265
My Take:
I love Ochocinco with a passion. I think his antics are wildly hilarious and it's great for the game. Other than the many times his mouth and some of his actions have gotten him in trouble with his team, his lively flavor and attitude is fun to watch. The man certainly works extremely hard and has elite talent....but not....as a fighter against Shawne "steroids" Merriman. Did everyone just overlook and forget that it was only 2 seasons ago that Merriman was suspended four games for taking performance enhancing drugs? *This whole only four games thing in the NFL blows my mind but I'll save that article for the next player that gets caught and no one cares. Anyway, back to the fight...is Ochocinco seeing the size of Merriman? Merriman is a fucking monster to put it boldly and frank. Like I said I'll be one of the first people to defend Ochocinco's actions but if this is real, I'm genuinely concern for the injury that would keep Ochocinco off the field come the hopeful playoff run. Being as all these quotes came before Chris Henry's death this morning, I don't see Ochocinco or Merriman even caring about one another. Sure they will hit each other a few times during the game but beyond that, they're going to play and leave.
Ocho...if you read this...here is your touchdown celebration sunday if you want to keep stickin' it to that "lights out" bullshit (obviously it comes with a fine almost equal to my yearly salary but I respect it every time):
>Bring a battery powered lamp (turned on all game)...bring it either to the endzone or the Charger's sideline and simply just turn it off......and only if your winning.
I can't think of anything that would be more subtle that would piss off Merriman more than that. And for the record, Step Bothers is a fantastic movie...kiss the baby Shawne Merriman you Tia Tequila Chris Browner
Be Great
