In Case You Missed It: Chad Ochocinco's Bullriding Attempt

If you didn't catch it this past weekend, Chad Ochocinco, wide receiver with the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals, attempted to ride a bull at a Professional Bull Riders event in Atlanta.

Sighting the need to scratch the activity from his "bucket list", the eccentric (and clearly suicidal) Ochocinco lasted all of 1.5 seconds atop Deja-Blu, the 1,500-pound bucking beast.

Prior to the event, Ochocinco trained with nine-time World Champion rodeo cowboy and PBR co-founder Ty Murray, and was paid $10,000 for his appearance.

Now, I don't know what's funnier ... the bullride itself, or the look on Murray's face as Chad discusses what he's about to do!



In response to claims that his coaches, and the NFL, may not be too happy about him taking such a career and life-threatening risk, the six-time Pro Bowler said "I'm sure my coach [Marvin Lewis] was probably upset, I mean, I would be too.  I'm sure the NFL is upset, but I don't follow their rules anyway."
