By far the most entertaining outlet on Super Bowl Media Day was the newly formed OCNN – Ochocinco News Network. That’s right, Chad Ochocinco even has a news team to make sure he gets all the media spotlight he deserves. Wow! Ray Rice was serving as a roving reporter for OCNN and got some laughs by asking the Colts defensive players, “Hey man, why did you hit me so hard?” and other poignant questions. Yes, friends, it was truly an entertaining experience that reinforced the old adage that reality is stranger than fiction any day.

We also got a chance to catch up with the Internet's two best jokesters, Jake and Amir from CollegeHumor.com. They were in town to join the OCNN reporting team and were kind enough to give us a couple minutes.



Soon it was on to Mr. Rice, though, as we caught a few of his interviews in the media circus.



Here he is with Colts defensive end and fellow Rutgers alum Gary Brackett.



And finally talking to Marques Colston, Saints wide receiver.

Among a team of All-Stars, there are some stars that shine brighter than others. Love him or hate him, Chad Ochocinco is one of the true characters in the game, and he always draws an audience. Personable, affable and accessible, Chad always knows how to put on a show for the audience. As a fan, if you wonder what it's like to be inside of the locker room after the game, here's an insiders view after the 2010 Pro Bowl.

In the segment Chad opines on:

- Communicating with Commissioner Goodell

- Thoughts on coming back to the Pro Bowl, this time in his hometown of Miami

- Super Bowl prediction (Manning, Indy at the end)

- Attending the Super Bowl -- He'll be watching the game in the box with Mark Anthony and J-Lo (Suite 247 in case you are wondering), and he needs a date

- Ray Lewis, coming out of the shower, calls out Ochocinco for his overt showmanship in playing to the media

- Also, check out his gold watch ... very understated.

Ocho Cinco To NFL: I'll Tweet When I Want

Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson said he wants to Tweet during his games this season. The NFL said he can’t.

Chad’s reaction to the NFL ban? Tweet on, baby!

"There's nothing they can do,” Ocho Cinco said Monday night from the red carpet of the Sports Dream charity poker tournament at the Playboy Mansion.

“I'll do it anyway. I don't even know why they're fussing with that. When I say I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna do it anyway regardless of what they say."



Chad has clearly given his Twitter gameplan plenty of thought. Consider this Tweet from last week: "Question? If I tweet during the game and they suspend me, would I get paid during my suspension since it's not a legal issue?"

After Chad first mentioned the idea of in-game Tweeting last week, the NFL cited an existing policy that bans the use of cell phones and mobile devices on the sidelines.

But a former NFL player, who asked to remain anonymous, said that almost every NFLer checks his messages at halftime. Could a locker room Tweet be far behind? It has already happened in the NBA with Charlie Villanueva.

Chad is planning to unveil more than just Tweets this season.

“Everything that you're not supposed to do as a player will be done,” he said. “Pushing the envelope. In a fun way. I'm not going to do anything degrading to the people I'm playing against."
