Chad Ocho CincoThrough the social media site Twitter, the folks at Houston's 1560 The Game were able to arrange an on-air interview with Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco (otherwise known as OGOchoCinco on Twitter because one man can never have enough names, I suppose).

In the interview, Ochocinco discusses many things: how he will have a new checklist in his locker; how he truly is going to live with Carson Palmer's family; and how he wants to be more of team guy than a "me" guy this year. At the 2:34 mark in the interview, he discusses his love of Twitter and the way he will be using it next year:
And when the season starts, it's going to get even worse. I'm going to really make it fun. I'm using Twitter during games. I'm using Twitter during half time. I'm using it after games. I'm taking it to the next level.
Here's the link to the entire Ochocinco interview. Unsurprisingly, the NFL is not amused. Cellular devises are not allowed in bench areas, so he might have to wait to get his tweet on unless he is interested in getting fined some more.

The interview in sum: Ochocinco intends to be more of a team guy while he uses social media to promote much more Ochocinco and get his words out to the masses.
