Ochocinco To Try His Hand At Bull Riding
DULUTH, Ga. -- Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco has a good amount of free time on his hands during the current NFL Lockout.
Earlier this year he had a tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer, and now has accepted a challenge from Professional Bull Riders chief operating officer Sean Gleason to ride a bull at the LucasOil Invitational this weekend in Duluth.
Ochocinco will earn $10,000 if he rides a bull. If he can stay aboard for the required eight seconds, the PBR will give Ochocinco a new Ford F-150, as well as allow him to rename the bull.
Gleason says Ochocinco is "a gifted athlete, but bull riding is a much different sport and climbing on the back of a bull in the chutes takes a little more than Twitter confidence, let alone calling for the gate [to open]."
