That was kind of my impression as well. I just disliked him because he was really, really good and I was/am a Steeler fan.

Well, that and he was just annoying from the Steelers fan perspective, until you realized it was good natured.

He's from Davie and I've had some good times there. Nice place.

For some reason I had lumped him in with the other nutjob WRs the NFL is seemingly lousy with.

Perhaps your perception was unduly influenced by the otherwise commonplace name change from "Chad" to "Ochocinco"? ;)

The big D must have hit him hard if $15 mill net worth after >$46 mill in career earnings over 11 seasons . Burn rate had to be higher than cheap jewelry .But he does have a sweet pension on top of that plus future earnings at autograph shows or endorsements easy money . We don’t need to worry about Ocho .

Yeah, except he's lying, at least to some extent. I worked at a rental car place in Cincinnati where he'd rent 10 luxury cars just for his entourage for the weekend (would cost $5kish each time). I was also at an art gallery once where they had $30,000 dolphin sculptures for sale. I was just BSing with the sales guy and asked who possibly spends that much on something like that. His answer? Ocho had bought one just that month. Now, those aren't "huge" purchases at his salary, but they also don't fit with the penny pinching persona he tried to sell there. Also, the fact that I had witnessed two direct examples of entirely wasteful spending by him leads me to believe I didn't just happen to catch him the only two times he did that. I don't mind Chad, but he's mostly FoS all the time.

I despised him at first but at some point I realized he was a harmless goof with a good nature about him. His boy TJ, not so much.

He’s a harmless goof. Except for that whole beating his wife and parole violations for refusing to attend domestic violence counseling, I’m sure he’s a peach.

I don't recall those headlines. I was trying to be gracious about an old opponent, for once.

It’s just that there are so many teams and players that I hate so whenever I don't hate someone I try highlight that.

I will say that despite thinking he’s invented this narrative (probably to explain why he has to be cheap today by pretending it’s been a choice all along), that everyone I know who has had direct interactions with Chad found him to be a decent guy.

Yeah I'm surprised to hear about the domestic stuff.

I think he should have his own show on QVS, highlighting costume jewelry one can wear to fool the masses.

Koy Detmer had to be the cheapest of all - I remember he once said all he brought on road trip was a toothbrush since he could borrow everything else he needed.
