Chad Ochocinco is traded to a new team – number no longer ocho cinco!
I don’t talk about sports here because I cannot stand sports! Ick! But I came across this story this morning, and it made me chuckle, so I thought eh – why not. Plus – Ochocinco DID star on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ so it SORTA relates.
Chad Ochocinco has been traded to a new team – and guess what! His number, 85, is already taken! Wonder if he’s regretting that name change of his!
Chad Ochocinco DOES NOT want a new jersey number — and sources close to the NFL star tell TMZ .. he’s willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to sport #85 for the New England Patriots this season.
Problem is …. the number currently belongs to Patriots STUD tight end Aaron Hernandez – who rocked #85 in 2010 … when he DOMINATED all season long.
We’re told Ochocinco — who CHANGED HIS LAST NAME to match his jersey number a few years ago — wants to PAY Hernandez to give up the digits … and sources say Chad feels “no number is too high.”
FYI — jersey numbers don’t come cheap — it cost Clinton Portis a cool $18k to buy the #26 from a teammate when he was traded to the Washington Redskins a few years ago.
Ok – that’s all the sports talk you’ll get outta me.
