Still wondering why that 2nd round pick of Ochocinco sank your fantasy team last year? Well, according to an interview with the NFL network, Senor Ocho revealed that among other things, "Last year, the offseason, I didn't lift one weight, I didn't run one route, I didn't exercise. I didn't do nothing..."

Before you punch your computer screen remember: he only cost you your fantasy league; he cost the Bengals $3.5 million for 2008. Do keep this in mind, however, the next time Ochocinco protests the NFL for fining him.

12	People like Chad Johnson make me appreciate even more the athletes who arent highly regarded that work there butts off to get to where they are in there sport. This tool bag only cares about one thing....himself. The sooner the Bengals dump this guy the better off they will be.

11	Wow.... that's insane. This dude seriously doesn't belong in the NFL. Give a chance to someone who really wants it... screw this a-hole.

4	Hey! If I give an interview saying "I didn't do my job at all last year!" do you think I would still get paid anyway? The ignorant buffoonery of professional athletes never ceases to amaze me. Why would anyone want this guy on his team?

Ok, I'm not going to say he's not a bad guy but I am going to defend him a little. He did play last season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. (I hear that is very painful, whatever it is) Not to mention the fact that Carson Palmer spent three games laying on his back and Fitzpatrick spent the rest of them running for his life. Chad could have easily said it was completely the fault of his offensive line and quaterback but he didn't go there. So I'll give him a little credit for not throwing his teammates under the bus. I do agree with you guys that he is pretty stupid for saying he didn't try. Up until last year Chad was the hardest working guy on the team.

3	I used to think Chad Johnson--ERRRRRRR-- Ochocinco is a big pain in the neck; now I have a much lower opinion about him.

I totally agree, but I still think the younger players would be better off without Chad setting the example for everyone.

1	At least he is taking responsibility for his (lack of) action. This spring he is supposedly working his arse off. We will see.
