08:13 AM ET 02.01 | Deion Sanders tried to draw the old Chad Ochocinco from what would be called a shell on someone less brash. Sanders told [Ochocinco] that he was going to implore Tom Brady to get him the ball Sunday and give him a chance. "You're gonna get me in trouble," Ochocinco said, sounding genuinely worried about getting in trouble. There was nothing to gain from breaking off his pattern now. He has 15 catches all season, even fewer notable quotes -- and a chance to parlay that sacrifice into a ring. "If I had 100 catches and a thousand yards," he said, "I'd probably be home in January." The biggest benefit of being such a low-impact player on a stage like Tuesday's? ... "I can actually shut the (expletive) up," he said, straight-faced.

If he dresses, they will keep his routes simple. He has been responsible for several interceptions this year by turning the wrong way or not running his route properly.

Ochostinko will get a ring if the Pats win, whether he contributed or not. At least he learned how to keep his mouth shut in NE! Belichick can perform miracles!!!

Why couldn't he shut the (expletive) up before? Does he seriously think his mouth helped the team?

We've got a Plax thread and an Ocho thread. Where's the update on how TO is adjusting to life in the minors?

The guy is more businessman than football player. Used the stage as a receiver to get noticed, changed his name for attention , and got his endorsements. He will proably make more $ (what he wanted anyway) when it's all said and done with, than a much better player like Andre Johnson due to his notoriety. The Kim K of football.

If Gronkowski doesn't suit, they'll probably put Ocho out there.

I love the implication that Tom Brady would listen to anything Deion Sanders has to say, about anything in general.

No doubt. I guess even the FN interns think TO is washed up.

You're probably right. NE injury reports mean less than nothing.
