By Ben Chew: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has done a lot of crazy things during his career in the NFL but off the field, it seems that Chad continues to test his athletic excellence.
Recently, he accepted a challenge to compete in the sport of professional bull riding, and made his PBR debut on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Invitational in Duluth, Georgia, riding 1,500 pound bull Deja Blu.
For Chad, the ride ended rather abruptly:
For those of you counting at home, that was about 1.5 seconds of riding. The positive for Chad was that it netted him a cool $10,000, but if he rode the bull a little longer, he could have won a Ford F-150 pickup. As you would expect, Ochocinco wasn’t too worried about the possible career ramifications of riding Deja Blu and felt that the NFL was just as dangerous:
“No, every down is a risk to my career,” he said. “Every time I wake up in the morning there’s a risk to life in general. You never know what’s going to happen. One of the things about me is I’m extremely interesting, I’m unpredictable and I am willing to do anything.”
Woah, Chad Ochocinco is unpredicatable?!? Someone alert the NFL!

I had so much fun utilizing Ochocinco as a metaphor for intimacy.
