It is usually during Chad Ochocinco’s weekly conference call with his opponent’s media when we hear all the fun stuff.
This week, as written by Mark Craig of the Star Tribune, Chad Ochocinco is planning on snatching ‘the large viking horn from the team’s burly mascot.’
“I’m going to steal it from what’s-his-name? Ragnar?” Ochocinco told the media. “You better give it to me. If he doesn’t give it to me, I’m going to MMA [mixed martial arts] him.”
In response, Ragnar had comments of his own that he told Craig.
“MMA?” Ragnar asked. “Tell him I dare him to spell that. And you can also tell him that after Sunday, he’ll be changing his name again to Ocho Stinko.”
Ocho Stinko? I know that isn’t very clever, but in his defense he is a viking that drives around on a motorcycle.
Speaking of that bike, Ochocinco also said that he might steal that as well.
“He might want to think twice about taking my bike,” Ragnar was quoted in the story. “I poop things bigger than him.”
Odds are Ragnar’s poops are not as massive as the fines rained down by NFL on Ochocinco. Last week, Ochocinco was fined $30,000 for sporting a poncho and a sombrero following a touchdown against Detroit. Overall, he has been fined $67,000 this year.
Ochocinco has been known for matching fines with contributions to the charity of his choice. However, the majority of the money received from those fines already go to charity, most of which goes to cancer and Neuromuscular research.
From the article, you also get the sense that Minnesota Vikings players are amused by Ochocinco’s comments and almost want him to score so they can see him celebrate.
“I don’t want to see him score,” Brett Favre told the Star Tribune about Ochocinco stealing the viking horn. “But that would be kind of cool to see him do that.”

Mr. Stripes, Thanks for clarifying that fines do go to worthy charities. Ocho Cinco has bought himself a lot of air time this week with the Poncho look; so he must be feeling it was worth it. I hope that he doesn’t steel anything before, during or after the game and end up in a Viking country jail…locked up with the likes of a Ragnar or one of his Viking buddies. The Bengals need him for the playoffs…Besides, if Ragnar is correct in describing his ability to produce excrement larger than a professional football player…well then, Ocho Cinco might indeed become Ocho Stinko just as Ragnar predicted!
