Ocho Cinco

Maybe you're a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan who is crossing their fingers that Chad Ocho Cinco's shoulder injury is not serious.  Otherwise you're praying that it is more serious than sources are saying so he'll have to sit out this season and we won't have to hear as much about his ridiculous antics in the sports world.  I could sit here and share exactly which side I'm on, but I'm assuming most people can figure it out for themselves.

Ocho Cinco did undergo surgery before the preseason to remove bone spurs from his right ankle, due to an injury he received last season.  Because of the surgery he was fairly limited in training camp during the summer, so it was hard to tell if he was entirely recovered and ready to step onto the field.

He has yet to have any issues with the ankle, but now he has a completely different injury.  The team sources say it's nothing that's going to stop him from playing in the regular season, especially since the X-Rays and MRI showed negative results.

Ocho Cinco also revealed that several other pro football players have continued to play while suffering from the same injury, which include Donte Stallworth and Brian Westbrook who both catch the ball.  

The stubborn man we know will continue to play until he is on his death bed, but it's hard to say whether his injury will be threatening to this season.  Sorry Bengals bashers, it might not be a season where we do not have to deal with the arrogant comments or gestures presented on the field.  There's only one thing we can all do now going into the season - wishful thinking.
