Ochocinco cut by patriots

Well it looks like Chad Ochocinco will be watching football from the privacy of his home this season like the rest of us and not from the sideline.  After spending all day Thursday attempting to trade the veteran wide receiver, the New England Patriots decided to cut Ochocinco after there was not enough interest to make a trade by Thursday's transaction 4:00 pm deadline.  It was speculation that Ochocinco had difficulties picking up the Patriots' playbook during last season after ending up with New England last season from the Cincinnati Bengals.  While with the Patriots for one season Chad Ochocinco caught 15 passes for 276 yards and only 1 touchdown.  New England has used this offseason to make some major changes to its wide receiver core signing Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, Donte' Stallworth and Anthony Gonzalez (who has since been released by the organization), as well as agreeing to a one year deal with Deion Branch and Wes Walker receiving the franchise tag.

Chad Ochocinco of course took the news in Ochocinco fashion, taking to Twitter and Instagram to show how he was taking the news.  Chad Ochocinco posted the above picture on Instagram with the caption "Unemployed" and his current biography on twitter read "Unemployed Black Guy".  Chad also tweeted "Thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play for the "Patriot" organization... fans were f------ wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best."  

Things just does not seem to be going in good direction for Mr. Ochocinco. Before the news of Ochocinco being released from the Patriots it was also reported that Chad and fiance' Evelyn Lozado from Basketball "hoodrat non-wives" was having difficulty finding a location to hold their wedding in Miami, Florida.  Several hotels in the Miami area has turned the couple away due to some of the incidences that have been seen on the show Basketball Wives.  Hotels, such as the Ritz Carlton has been one of the hotels that gave the couple a no with fear of bad publicity and fear of on camera fights and altercations that may occur during the wedding.  Chad and Evelyn are supposed to be wed sometime this summer and fans of the two would be able to witness the entire thing during the two spin off show that is supposed to air on VH1.  I wonder what happened with the petition that was going around asking for signatures for VH1 to ban the spin off show.  Hmmmmm

Stay tuned to see if Ochocinco will be eventually picked up by another NFL team.
