The Facts:
Ochocinco appeared Tuesday on ESPN’s NFL Live to discuss the various recent developments involving himself, his team, his coach, and his quarterback. The biggest surprise? Chad said he wants to stay in Cincinnati, a fact on which we’ve previously reported. “I don’t want to go anywhere,” Ochocinco said. “I love Cincy. I love the fans. And Cincinnati is all I know. That’s all I know. And I just look forward to next year. But before the season starts, I do need to fight with my head coach.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Even though Chad wants to keep his team, he intends to drop his alter ego. He said that he’s changing his name back to Johnson, a task that PFT's Mike Florio notes may be easier said than done — unless he plans to pay Reebok for the unsold inventory of Ochocinco jerseys. ... As for his head coach? Ochocinco made a great point in response to the comment from Marvin Lewis that, regarding the possibility of acquiring Ochocinco, Pats HC Bill Belichick is “
smarter than that.” Said the Ocho: “If Belichick is smarter than that,” Ochocinco said, “then why am I still there?" The point being, if Lewis feels that it would be dumb for Belichick to acquire Ochocinco, then why haven’t the Bengals gotten rid of him? Stay tuned. They still might.
