Ocho Cinco kisses coach

Chad Ocho Cinco fessed up: He kissed the coach. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver acknowledged on Wednesday that he leaned into coach Marvin Lewis and gave him a peck on the cheek during a 31-22 loss in Dallas. He said it was the first time he'd ever kissed a coach. "It was probably the last," he added. What brought this on? The Pro Bowl receiver was struggling through another afternoon of double coverages and missed chances on Sunday. He had only three catches for 43 yards as the Bengals fell to 0-5. When he came to the sideline at one point, Lewis reminded him to stay positive. "He whispered something in my ear that I really liked, so I kissed him," Ocho Cinco said. The receiver leaned in as if he was going to say something into Lewis' left ear, then planted a quick one on his cheek. It was reminiscent of the way former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter kissed coach Bill Cowher after he returned an interception for a touchdown during a game in 2006.

This is attention deficit syndome.

Along with some bi-polar needing mommy issues too.

I agree with Bond007.

This is getting waaaaay out of hand with Chad.

Chad Johnson = NFL's version of Dennis Rodman???

There is nothing better than seeing this tool having a lame-o season.

October 9, 2008  07:48 AM ET

And you say TO is a headcase? Well, I'd rather have TO as my headcase than this wacko.

But wait, if Pacman is cut today, there will be an empty roster spot......Chad, can you play corner?

This guy is a waste of space... I can't stand this guy having so much attention... I don't even think he is a top 10 receiver in the NFL anymore...

Why can't guys like Chad and T.O. just shut-up and play the game?

October 9, 2008  07:55 AM ET

Well, he did say he was going to kiss something if not the star.

TO = loudmouth but productive player.
Ocho = loudmouth but unproductive player.

Think that would go over in NY 50?

They were seen together sharing a candlelight dinner after the game.

HOOAH! 4-1...For the record, even Coughlin's wife will not kiss him. Not a problem.

October 9, 2008  08:18 AM ET

too funny, saw this and never gave it a second thought.

If a football player kisses his coach during a game, does he take his mouth guard out?
Just wondering what the rules are. What is the tradition? Would love to hear from an San Franciso 49 ers fans to know the history of it all....hehehehehehhehehe.

Someone needs to get Chad out of Cincinnati before he pulls a Billy Cole.

He certainly thinks he can. See the Pro Bowl clips from a couple years ago.
