Chad OchocincoI'm sure many of you will agree that your fan-ship (my newest coolest word) of Chad Ochocinco has been a roller coaster. At first, many didn't appreciate his outgoing attitude; though the Kansas City guarantee in 2003 still kicks ass. His celebrations often invited scorn on Tuesdays after a loss; though his celebrations during games fans tend to throw their prejudices that players should be robots out the window. His campaign to indirectly kill his relationship with the Bengals and the great fans of Cincinnati nearly did him in demanding a trade a couple years ago, but that's all but forgotten.
But through it all, Chad is mostly well-liked in this city. I actually find that how he repaired his relationship with the city to be phenomenal. In 2008, I had no reason to believe that Chad would remain simply because of the things he said. No way we forgive him, I thought. Yet, within a year, it was. Furthermore, with the use of Twitter, many have found his personality to be honest and enjoyable while showing great character helping kids. Sure, he has a knack for entertaining people and many football purists do not appreciate that as much.
