Chad Ochocinco to Ride Bulls in Lockout with PBR

NFL players are finding different ways to spend the lockout. Some are trying careers in new sports, others are getting in trouble, while dedicated players are leading offseason workouts. Chad Ochocinco is one of the players who has tried another sport (check out his soccer tryout for KC), and it looks like he’ll be trying a third pro sport.

Ocho wrote on his twitter account Thursday “Due 2 the lockout I’ll be participating n the PBR as a professional bull rider n Duluth,GA. May13th-14th Lil Taco … Valdiron de Oliveira vs. Lil Taco May13th-14th Duluth,GA. Who coming to watch the longest 8 seconds of my life?”

I have no idea if Ocho is serious or not, but given the way this guy operates I’m going to have to assume it’s not a joke. And if there was any doubt about the sincerity of Ocho’s tweet, the PBR’s official twitter retweeted his tweet, making it seem like this is the real deal.

So there you have it, Ochocinco will be riding on the PBR. My only question is how he’s going to pull this off. What’s he going to do, ride on a mechanical bull? Tryout a donkey? No way he does this, right?
