Ochocinco Developing ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Chemistry With Dolphins Teammates

Newly acquired Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Ochocinco was made available to the media for the first time as a member of the Dolphins after offseason workouts. In classic Ochocinco form, he did not disappoint. Here is what Eight-Five had to say about the chemistry he is building with his new teammates.

“The workout was good,” Ochocinco said after the workout. “It’s been very good the past couple of days. I’m enjoying the opportunity to come here and play at home, to play with a great organization. There’s a lot of changes being made here. Coaching staff, I’m enjoying it.

“I’m developing ‘Brokeback Mountain’ chemistry with the players. I’m just having fun. It feels good too, to have a fresh start. I’m gonna do whatever I can not only to improve my game, but to help this organization get back to where they want to be.”

For those who live under a rock, ‘Brokeback Mountain’ was an, uh, alternative love story about two gay Cowboys — no, not Tony Romo and Jason Witten.

Now that we know he can’t quit the Dolphins, how does he feel about being a number one wide receiver?

“I was never good in math,” he said. “So I’m not good with numbers.”

Things, however, got a little less awkward when Ochocinco got back on track and started talking about what it felt like to play for his hometown team.

“It’s been a childhood dream of mine growing up watching the Marks brothers, watching Dan (Marino), some of those guys. It’s awesome. You would think throughout the years; since 1988 I’ve always played Madden, and I’ve always used the Dolphins no matter where I was or where I was playing.

“To be able to wear the teal and orange, it’s a pretty good feeling. But for me, it’s about getting back to the basics, going back to where it all started. Not as far as playing at home in Miami, but as far as the game goes and getting back to who we’re all used to seeing and how I became what I am. I think I kind of lost that. I’m looking to go back to Chad Johnson, and just make it live again.”

Of course, Ochocinco closed the show with the line,

“That’s about it,” he told the reporters on the scene.” I don’t have much else to say. If any of you guys have any other questions. I pretty much covered everything there is to talk about. I love you. Enjoy the show.”

Thanks for that, Chad. We’ll definitely enjoy the show and will be watching closely. For those who want to see Ochocinco in action, here is video of the conversation:
