I don’t always read Chad Ochocinco’s Twitter feed, but when I do I prefer unbridled shenanigans.

I was monitoring it pretty closely yesterday to see what sort of post-game bromance between Chad and Darelle Revis would ensue, strangely – mind-boggling inexplicably actually – nothing too excited came of that; he alluded he might make good on his promise to change his name back to Chad Johnson, then a few more bruh, bruh’s, and that’s about it.





In far more engaging, and whimsical, developments yesterday via Twitter, Ochocinco personally sought out Giants stadium staple, and the face of the J-E-T-S chants, Fireman Ed.





Chad’s query was answered by ESPN producer Jason Romano, which garnered him a shout out from a thankful Ocho who apparently is going to hook Fireman Ed with a trip to Cincy (“Enjoy the jungle”) for the game on Saturday.





Last week, Fireman Ed was made the subject of some of Ocho’s more inventive trash talk directed at the Jets and Revis, saying he was going to get his own Bengals fire hat made (no idea if he did), get up on the goal post or a linebacker’s shoulders, then quiet the Giants stadium crowd and get them to chant O-C-H-O.

The Daily News reported at the time…

“I have one that is going to be so good. Everybody listening? You know the guy in the stands with the fireman hat (Fireman Ed) that quiets the stadium? OK, I have my own fireman hat made, but it doesn’t say Jets. It’s a Bengals fireman hat. When I score, I’m going to sit on top of the goal post and then I’m going to quiet the stadium like he does…

“I had this planned in the offseason. All I could think about is the guy who gets on the big guy’s shoulders and he quiets the stadium and does the Jets-Jets-Jets thing. Hopefully the fans of New York will give me the same respect. When I score, I’m going to get on my lineman’s shoulders and I’m going to quiet the stadium.

“I want everybody to say Ocho, O-C-H-O. You guys write about that. Get it out there and tell them to please cooperate.”

After Sunday night’s loss, Ocho’s clearly showing Fireman Ed much respect – strangely so were the broadcast team of Chris Collinsworth and Al Michaels at one point during the game. Just don’t be surprised if this Saturday the Bengals win and Chad brings out a whole troupe of Hooters girls wearing orange fire hats.

…

In other news, Collinsworth has a rapier wit. Did anyone catch this exchange?

Michaels: You think [Rex Ryan] has a layer of thermals on under there?

Collinsworth: I think he was born with a layer of thermal.

And with that, we close the book on another NFL regular season.
