Jpan85 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Per his twitter. This should be interesting.

Tracker Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Good publicity but that's all. He's a bit of an egomaniac but the biggest hurdle will be adapting to the CFL game.
Mike Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 I feel like he's just trolling but hey, who knows. SPuDS and Mr. Perfect 2
Mr Dee Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 It's Canada, he'll have to be Quatre-Vingt Cinq-o. Noeller, johnzo and robynjt 3
Mr. Perfect Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 What Mike said. Highly doubt he'll be attending.
iso_55 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 He'd put fannies in the seats if he did come up here & could still actually play. When the Miami Dolphins were on Hard Knocks 3 years ago the guy had some issues with a crazy wife he had just married a few weeks before. She had him thrown in jail for assault but I don't think he actually did anything. But the Dolphins cut him anyway. She seemed.... no, they both seemed like nutcases. He is a bit of a wingnut but when he practised & played the guy was a complete professional. If he can still go, it would be interesting to see what he could do.

It is a bit weird, him T.O and Moss could still play the game and play well.... I'm guessing teams just don't want to deal with the distractions. iso_55 1
iso_55 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 They were spoiled brats all of them. TO's time with every team was fraught with trouble....

Samcanadian Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Well, Ricky Williams was a big deal coming to the CFL and I don't even think he cracked 50 yards against the Bombers. Not to say that the transition from NFL to CFL is the same for a WR...but Ochocinco's not as young as he used to be. His route running skill will be what lets him succeed in the CFL (If this indeed is for real)
Valderan_CA Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 This was totally trolling - Someone asked him where he was signing this offseason - he said BC Lions BC then tweeted at him - So we'll be seeing you at one of our free agent camps then + link and then he tweeted back at them something about stopping on two nickels... So basically he isn't playing football and decided to say BC Lions to everyone's surprise (including BC)
Tracker Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Much ado about nothing. Nothing to see here- move along.
Noeller Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 It's Canada, he'll have to be Quatre-Vingt Cinq-o.already did. When CJ first came up with the OC nickname, Milt started calling himself Quarter Vingt Cinq-o...

He is a bit of a wingnut but when he practised & played the guy was a complete professional. If he can still go, it would be interesting to see what he could do. I saw that too. They also showed him training at the end and he was like "People forget that I handled my business for years and years." Uhh no one forgot that, you're just old now.
gbill2004 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 @FarhanLaljiTSN: Wally Buono tells me he now feels compelled to take a closer look at @ochocinco's interest in #BCLions. Will be very cautious though. #CFL
gbill2004 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 @sixbeamers: Andrew Harris reaction to Chad Ochocinco's lobbying for #BCLions TC roster spot: "This dude is really trying to get signed via Twitter."
Tracker Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Wally is going to milk this for all the publicity he can get- its free!
17to85 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Wally is going to milk this for all the publicity he can get- its free! And don't think the CFL in general doesn't love it either. They probably had a talk with Buono about hyping it up good. Free publicity is free publicity.
gbill2004 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Lions have not reached out to him yet because they have concerns with his history of domestic violence.
Noeller Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 How much would Taman love a situation like this? The guy LIVES for a PR stunt...
gbill2004 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 How much would Taman love a situation like this? The guy LIVES for a PR stunt... If BC has no interest, then I assume he's not on their neg list. That means any CFL team, including Taman could contact him.
