NFL Player Ochocinco Needs Your Help Twittering The Season

August 31, 2009 at 9:12 AM | by | Comment (1)

The NFL season is just around the corner, and what better way to enjoy a game than getting the opportunity to check it out in person. If you’re a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, and we feel for you if you are, you might just get a free trip thanks to Chad Ochocinco—yes that's his name, as he changed it to match his number.

Number 85 is good at running his Twitter account, he’s got like 7,000 updates, but he needs a little help to keep the momentum during the regular season. Too bad the league frowns upon cell phones on the bench. Thus, a contest has bloomed ...

Ochocinco is looking to launch a contest to bring one of his followers to a Bengals game each week so that the fan can tweet live from the stands on his behalf. Ochocinco is thinking about working out some kind of hand signal system to get his thoughts into tweets. Technically, he’ll be following all of the NFL’s rules and will still be able to keep in touch with everyone.

There’s been very few details of this contest so far, so who knows if this is something that will actually fly come game time. However, we’re thinking it’s a cool way to keep in touch, despite the fact that it is slightly ridiculous. Let's just hope some deranged fan doesn’t go nuts once he gains access to the wide receiver’s account.

As always, if you like people who tweet during work, make sure to follow us; it’s what we do best.
