Twitter tiff
Less than 24 hours after Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New England Patriots, the Ravens began preparing for a Sunday visit from the Cincinnati Bengals in a potentially significant showdown for AFC North supremacy.
And at about that time, Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco began poking the Ravens via Twitter. Ochocinco, whose Twitter account is named OGOchoCinco, fired the first salvo at cornerbacks Fabian Washington and Domonique Foxworth. While Foxworth has stayed silent, Washington has not been as generous.
Here is the exchange between players listed chronologically:
Chad Ochocinco (OGOchoCinco) to Fabian Washington (FABEWASH31) at about 10:30 p.m. Monday night: "bruh you in trouble Sunday, you gone kiss da baby, this ain't a threat it's a promise. I'm shutting the front door on you!!!!!"
Ochocinco to Domonique Foxworth (Foxworth24): "cmon son, how you cover me with a last name like fox<---you ain't Vivica son! It's on Sunday,I'm not being cocky, i'm that good!"
Washington to Ochocinco: "trust me home boy it's going down. Believe dat"
Ochocinco to Washington: "don't do that, don't talk back son, know yo competition son, this ain't madden, you really hit to see me"
Ochocinco to Washington: "tell Vivica Foxworth he better just sit this game out!!!"
Washington to Ochocinco: "this water running up hill. Str8 pressure"
Ochocinco to Washington: "huh!!! Shut the front door!! You betta pray you got help every down, watch the clevland film, 2 man every down<---WTF!!!"
Washington to Ochocinco: "really if u watched the film u can c I had no help. But good night it's past my bed time"
Ochocinco to Washington: "bed time, you ain't gonna be able to rest, cmon son, have a dream like Martin Luther king son you will get embarassed Sunday"
Can't wait to see how this unfolds Sunday.

What an intelligent line of discussion! Is this what our colleges are putting out? Four years of college and they still communicate like 11 year old girls exchanging texts (no disrespect intended to 11 year old girls).

ohco whatever is a clown...he is going to be kissing the ground before any Raven kisses any babies...

If it were not for their athletic ability, or should I say, God given talent, these two nitwits would be standing outside the local car wash with two towels hanging from their back pockets.

I wish they hadn't responded. It would be way cooler to let him talk to no one, then break his arrogant azz in half on Sunday... Just sayin'...

I'll give ochocinco credit, he's funny. But what is he 14? Get off Twitter and stop picking fights over the internet.

Is that English? That must be a foreign language...

I've heard drunks in bars be way more clever with putdowns than that.

Chad OhmyGod,
Like exactly what were you thinking when you change your last name. Please come across the middle against us like you did against worst the team in the NFL and almost lost. Because that's what we're going to be saying when they take you off on a stretcher. (Oh My God!)

After reading that "exchange", I have but one thing to say...
LOLWUT?

It's so refreshing to witness this kind of intelligent, meaningful discourse. Thank you, Twitter, for providing a forum for such wonderful prose!

LOL
Posted by: Luke | October 6, 2009 3:51 PM
Who cares about this nonsense. At this point everyone knows it nothing more then Chad trying to get media attention and what a shock the Baltimore Sun jumps right in.
Posted by: Jon | October 6, 2009 3:58 PM
if you look at some of ochostinkos tweets today, he gives credit to Ray Lewis about laying out oppenets going across the middle

Is this a joke? These are two grown men. How sad
Posted by: Derrick | October 6, 2009 4:07 PM
Stinko! 'Chu are babbling again, mang!
Hanging Chad indeed!

Derrick, What's so "sad" about two grown men having a little fun - doing what they love to do? Life's too short.. lighten up and stop hating. GO RAVENS!
Posted by: calvin - owings mills | October 6, 2009 4:48 PM
C'mon people, it's all in good fun. Chad's a funny dude. I'm guessing neither of them majored in English in college, but I see young people everyday that have advanced degrees that don't speak any better than these two.
Posted by: Bernie | October 6, 2009 5:06 PM
I only have one thing to say: How-yo-momma-and-dem? LOL!
Posted by: Macadamia | October 6, 2009 5:39 PM
Translation please?
Posted by: Jamie | October 6, 2009 6:15 PM
I completly agree with kl.
Posted by: nert | October 6, 2009 6:24 PM
Chad talks alot but the boy speaks the truth....I give Fabian Washington his props for holding up this week against the patriots...no one has criticized him and Foxworth more than me...good game...now be consistent....so far Domonique hasn't been as smart as a fox and he d**** sure hasn't been worth what Ozzie Newsome and Eric Decosta paid him....pretty much the same animal as Derrick Martin and David Pittman....meanwhile Aquib Talib, Mike Jenkins, Tracey Porter, Rogers Cromartie, Leodis Mckelvin,Terrel Thomas,Tyvon Branch,Antoine Cason,Orlando Scandrick,Brandon Flowers and Sean Smith have all passed by in the draft......why.......give Ladarius Webb a chance he has the athleticism to develop into a top notch corner.
Posted by: Rob | October 6, 2009 7:24 PM
I had to get my neighbor's 11 year old kid translate this to me, and still don't understand what they were talking about.
Posted by: Purple Kool-aid | October 6, 2009 8:35 PM
Hey, these are football players making more money for their phsical talents than most others will ever know, not English professors or philosophers. I'm jealous. Give'em a break. They can talk all the smack they want as long as they perform on the field.
Posted by: AMC | October 6, 2009 9:34 PM
That clown should have changed his name to 'No-show Stinko'
Posted by: Ozzie Gruesome | October 6, 2009 10:33 PM
Well if anyone else wants to be forgotten in the NFL, then change your last name and play for the BENGALS too. These guys make millions and still can't speak ENGLISH, only in AMERICA! C'MON MAN.....Ocho Oucho Who?
Posted by: LJ | October 6, 2009 10:39 PM
I always wondered what they say to each other on the field...
Posted by: Matt | October 7, 2009 3:19 AM
Kiss da baby is Chad's new slang for "it's over!". Meaning that he just embarrassed the corner covering him and he should close shop and go home. Chad is just trying to get in his opponent's head. It's all in good fun. What matters most is that whoever is talking better bring it on game day. A lot of players talk trash. How phony will you sound talking trash in proper English!! That's just lame. You talk trash in slang. It's not like he is submitting a dissertation.
Posted by: Rahsaan | October 7, 2009 5:55 AM
Hahaha I love it, nothing like a little smack talk!!!! Bring it Ocho!
Posted by: Bigdday Raven | October 7, 2009 8:38 AM
There are a lot of uptight people on this here website.
Posted by: Coach | October 7, 2009 8:51 AM
Chad (whatever last name he goes by these days) is a moron, he should shut his mouth and play football since he hasn't really been doing much of that in the last few years
Posted by: Tyler | October 7, 2009 8:56 AM
i can't believe the media think this type of crap is worth reporting. it's pretty sad
Posted by: double b | October 7, 2009 9:14 AM
I wonder if they were members of their college debate team...?
Posted by: mjb | October 7, 2009 9:38 AM
Rob
maybe Fox hasn't 'lived up to the money', but he is a LOT better than Pittman, Prude, etc. Don't try to pretend he is not.
I would say though, that Carr is not living up to expectations more.
Webb is switching from Safety to CB, IIRC, so they are not going to start him.
Posted by: Egghead | October 7, 2009 10:07 AM
Bless their little hearts if this is fun for them. But it is NOT funny, intelligent, or mature. There's no hating in calling it what it is -- and it is sad. Very sad.
Posted by: waspman | October 7, 2009 10:10 AM
I've been following "the interesting one" (one of several names he call himself), for about a month on Twitter. The man is hysterical. He can be very insightful and downright silly. I have yet to see him being rude to anyone. This is just Ochocinco being Ochocinco. He knows Sunday's game is a big one. In fact he called it a "two chinstrap game". LOL, I do wish he would sleep once in a while the man starts tweeting at 5 a.m.
Posted by: Cheryl | October 7, 2009 10:15 AM
Ohso Stinko is so full of himself. He really should learn how to speak English instead of sounding like such an illiterate.
Posted by: RavenFan67 | October 7, 2009 10:43 AM
Instead of studing film they should study an English textbook.
Posted by: Joe | October 7, 2009 11:07 AM
Recommendation to our secondary...
Don't tweet another word to this idiot. Make him pay on Sunday. Sunday is all that matters.
Posted by: OforPetesSake | October 7, 2009 11:26 AM
Nert,
Dom was matched up on Randy Moss basically all day and held him to 3 catches for 50 yards and a touch. With the exception of the Chargers game, he has played fairly well.
Posted by: Josh | October 7, 2009 11:38 AM
What a bunch of morons. Have these guys actually achieved an education past the 5th grade?
I can't believe I actually wasted valuable minutes of my life reading such crap.
Posted by: TheReaper. | October 7, 2009 12:04 PM
Lighten up!! !They are having friendly competition!!!
Posted by: Anonymous | October 7, 2009 12:20 PM
Child pa-leeze!! Chad is gonna bust up that Ravens Secondary like Omar Little on one of Marlo Stanfield's re-ups!!!
Posted by: Cincyshane | October 7, 2009 12:40 PM
This is why I hate Twitter. Who cares?
Posted by: Mr. Deez | October 7, 2009 2:24 PM
Chad Ochostinko,
You really need to find something better to do with your time.
Posted by: Tyler | October 7, 2009 7:47 PM
That was five minutes of my life I'll never get back. I am even more convinced that college is completely overpriced.
