Salsa with Ochocinco

Chad Ochocinco maybe known for his crazy antics on and off the field. If you don't know who the guy is, you probably will in the weeks to come because he is one of the contestants on Dancing with the Stars.

Anyway, the reason why I'm writing about him is because last November, he came to Oakland to play against the Raiders and tweeted that he would treat 100 fans in Oakland to a lunch at Jack London Square. Zach & I were lucky enough to be one of the 100 people to have lunch and meet the guy. The experience was surreal and Ochocinco actually appeared really humble and shy. He came to the lunch with no entourage and took a cab out to the restaurant by himself.

How many football players will go out of the way to do something like that...just because (no media attached to this event)...and he wasn't even a local football NFL player at that?!?

I'm rootin' for you Chad. You may not win a Superbowl with the Bengals, but lets hope you win this dancing competition.
