Chad "OchoCinco" Johnson a trend setter?


Twitter and Ustream has become a mainstay for celebrities and athletes to answer a few questions for the fans. But OchoCinco has taken it to another level. He is broadcasting his own reality show type show called the Ocho Cinco Show. The superstar receiver is broadcasting live from training camp from Georgetown, Kentucky and is involving his teammates. Yes, Ocho is team player.

With training camp opening up Thursday night, Chad has done something no one else has done before. He allows us in to a NFL player’s everyday life. For sports fans, we get the unfiltered material from a superstar and his teammates. When he isn’t filming himself, he is twittering, posting pics throughout the day and talking to fans. There isn’t a script, no mulligan, no wait lets erase that, just what you see is definitely what you get. What else is dope about is that he is just a regular guy doing the same stuff that we all do and that makes it that much more fun because we can relate. He even puts his teammates on to allow them to get face time on his show. It’s AWESOME. When other players heard word that he was doing, you started to see them ask people “What’s Ustream, how do I sign up”. You wont see ESPN reporting on this anytime soon, they only report the mans wacky ways. How about patting him on the back for being entertaining and innovative.
