Does Anybody Care If Ocho-Cinco Kisses the Dallas Star This Weekend?

Chad Johnson—I mean Ocho Cinco—is running his mouth to the media again. What else is new?

The Bengals star receiver has been running his mouth and making predictions for years now.

Who could forget the time he guaranteed victory over the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs when the Bengals were just 4-5? How about the time he wore the Future H.O.F. jacket after he scored a touchdown on Monday Night Football last year against the Ravens?

Bengal fans, don't look at this article the wrong way. In my opinion, Ocho Cinco is one of the best wide receivers in football and his numbers over the last few years have shown it. If anything, I was hoping he would some how land in Philadelphia when he was asking to be traded.

On Sunday, Cincinnati takes a trip down to Big-D to take on the Cowboys. Once again, Ocho Cinco was out making predictions again to reporters in the Bengals locker room.

"That's America's team. It's one of the greatest organizations ever," Ocho Cinco said of the Cowboys. "This week, to show my respect for Dallas and its owner, Jerry Jones, I'm going to score and I'm going to kiss the star."

"I'm telling you, I'm not being rude about anything, I'm going to kiss the star. It's going to be fun. I'm excited to go to Dallas. You know, T.O. (Terrell Owens), you've got two of the don't-know-what-is-going-to-happen-next receivers playing. It's going to be fun."

I'll admit, I respect Ocho Cinco paying his respect to the Cowboys organization. They are playing great football this year and will continue to be a contender in the NFC.

However, does anybody really care if Ocho Cinco kisses the Dallas star after he scores a touchdown on Sunday.

Wait, let me re-phrase that last statement: Does anybody really if care if Ocho Cinco kisses the Dallas star IF he scores a touchdown on Sunday?

If I recall, Dallas has one of the most explosive offenses in the league, not to mention a pretty solid defense.

The Bengals....well how do I put this without upsetting too many people....

The Bengals are going to get owned by Dallas on Sunday.

I hate to say it but it's the truth. Part of the reason the Bengals are 0-4 is because they have two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns from their offense this season. The Cowboys offense behind Tony Romo, Marion Barber, and Terrell Owens could match those numbers alone in one single game.

To make things even worse for the Bengals, Carson Palmer has been dealing with an elbow injury all week. If backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick starts, expect an even longer day in Dallas.

Fitzpatrick struggled against a Cleveland Browns squad that has been struggling just as much as the Bengals this year. The funny thing is Fitzpatrick was able to match Palmer's total numbers on the season for touchdowns and interceptions (one TD, three INT) in just one game this season.

Honestly, I do get a good laugh out of some of the stunts Ocho Cinco does. The thing I respect most about him is he runs his mouth for the fun of it and nothing else. I have seen plenty of athletes calling out other teams/players over the years to prove they are the better athlete.

Ocho Cinco isn't one of those athletes. He doesn't do it to prove he's better than somebody else, he just does it to have fun.

Ocho Cinco may score a touchdown this weekend. Even if he does and kiss the star, is anybody going to really care? A simple kiss of the star isn't going to change the outcome of the game for the 0-4 Bengals. Ocho Cinco will need to kiss the star four or five times Sunday if the Bengals have any shot at beating Romo's Cowboys.
