I Dare Him to Go Near the Star

Cinncinati Bengal's loud mouth wide receiver Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson has spent the week trash talking the Dallas Cowboys, their fans, and the ever-powerful NFL TV analysts. Even after he all but begged Jerry Jones to pick him up in the off season. This week he promised to kiss the Cowboys's star when he scored a touchdown, as a sign of respect.

The display might come sooner rather than later if Ocho Cinco threat's become reality thanks to a beat up Cowboy secondary. Terrence Newman will sit out with a groin injury and Roy Williams will continue watching the game from the sidelines thanks to a nagging foot injury.

The absence of the two wouldn't normally have such an impact, but Ocho Cinco is threatening to return to his old antics, and an inexperienced secondary might not be able to handle him quite as easily.

I am not saying that I think the Cowboys will fall to the Bengals. In fact, I believe just the opposite. Marion Barber and Felix Jones will get their carries opening the field up for Witten and Owens. I simply can't stand the thought of Ocho Cinco gallivanting around Dallas Stadium running his mouth.

I think my biggest fear is that T.O. will see Ocho Cinco and get jealous of the spot light, igniting T.O.'s on the field outbursts. Something that the Cowboys have been able avoid so far this season.

At the end of the day, the Cowboys will be celebrating a win and Ocho Cinco will be begging Jerry Jones for a look. But if he dare's to disrespect the Star, even in an attempt to show respect, he can dismiss the idea of ever being worthy of wearing the Blue and Silver for Jerry Jones.

I guess Chad didn't get the chance to touch the star. But that's not something that would prevent Jerry Jones from ever signing him cuz obv T.O. completely disrespected the star back w/ San Fran and now he's a Cowboy. So I don't think that would have killed Ocho Cinco's chances of being a Cowboy in the future.
