The Facts:
Ochocinco now is going to try bull riding. The Bengals WR who earlier this year had a tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer, has accepted a challenge from Professional Bull Riders chief operating officer Sean Gleason to ride a bull at the LucasOil Invitational this weekend in Duluth.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ochocinco will earn $10,000 if he rides a bull. If he can stay aboard for the required eight seconds, the PBR will give Ochocinco a new Ford F-150, as well as allow him to rename the bull. Gleason says Ochocinco is "a gifted athlete, but bull riding is a much different sport and climbing on the back of a bull in the chutes takes a little more than Twitter confidence, let alone calling for the gate (to open). ..." It'll be interesting to see if the Ocho follows through on this one -- and if he can walk away unscathed if he meets the challenge. ... For what it's worth, if Ochocinco doesn't show, the PBR will rename the bull "#58 No Show Cinco." The number is the reverse of Ochocinco"s jersey No. 85.
