College Student Turns Down $750 Shoes From Chad Ochocinco Because of the Nosey NCAA
It’s been a pretty notable week for Chad Ochocinco. First a lion peed in his face at a charity event. Then he claimed he had dated Kate Upton “a while back.” Now he’s had a college kid turn down an offer of free expensive shoes.
Oklahoma State cornerback Yves Batoba tweeted that someday he would own a pair of Louboutin shoes like Ocho. Being the genuinely nice person he is, Ocho tweeted back and offered to get him a pair. That’s pretty awesome. Unfortunately, Batoba knew that would be an NCAA violation so he had to turn down the offer.
Batoba then tweeted about how much that sucked.
Don’t worry NCAA, I turned em down… I know y’all were on yall’s way over here. #Sheesh
Having to reject a free pair of Louboutins from Ochocinco… #StudentAthleteProbs
Damn you, NCAA! Even innocent gestures like this are ruined by your tyranny! That’s why I’ve long supported paying the players with shoes. It’s the only way to be fair.

I can’t believe that T.O. is relegated to semi-pro football while his wannabe, poor-man’s version is still in the NFL. Chad Johnson has sucked for years now.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:19 PM
An Adidas mention (along with your shoe size) would have been a good idea there CRM.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:20 PM
Looks like the “Disappearing Most Recent Posts” issue is rearing its head again.
I can’t see this one on the front page.

Maybe if the slaves in the 1800s had better arch support their masters’ dogs wouldn’t have caught them.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:22 PM
Shoe the Playoffs!
March 7th, 2012 at 2:24 PM
So he’s a potential child molester?
/she’s 19, right?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:24 PM
Maybe it’s because TO is a cancer that has been a distraction everywhere he’s been and even a crusty old prick like Belichick likes Ocho.
I actually applaud the NFL for ignoring TO. It is the first time in the history of the league that they actually chose character over talent. They certainly talk about it all the time but there rarely live up to that statement. See Leonard Little/Jared Allen countless other examples.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:27 PM

And yet I bet you that Johnson has plenty of friends in NFL circles while T.O. is an outcast. In this business, it’s who you know.

Maybe if the slaves in the 1800s had better arch support their masters’ dogs wouldn’t have caught them.
Maybe if the self-purported masters had more fast-twitch muscle, they wouldn’t have needed dogs.

Then he claimed he had dated Kate Upton “a while back.”
So he’s a potential child molester?
/she’s 19, right?
A while back may mean whe she was 18. Barely legal and all that jazz.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:29 PM
So are we sure that’s an improper benefit?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:31 PM
did somebody say athletic footwear?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:31 PM
$750 shoes? Where is Bsanders? I need this explained to me.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:32 PM
At first glance, you say that Ochocinco isn’t a booster for Okalhoma St. but this kid wouldn’t be getting these shoes if not for his status as an athlete so yeah, probably couldn’t accept them.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:33 PM
Or maybe high thighs and big thighs

March 7th, 2012 at 2:34 PM
Ochocinco has millions of twitter followers, all of them eligible for his random acts of generosity. I think there could be an argument made the other way.

so many ways to stay ‘relevant’
wow manning really squirted some tears at the presser. what a pussy
and they’re leaving flowers at the stadium? what is this, state college, st. louis?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:35 PM

You wouldn’t even understand the type of access a pair of shoes like that grants you.
So are we sure that’s an improper benefit?
I wondered that, too. Is Chad Johnson a booster for Oregon State? Or Santa Monica College?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:36 PM
Bet those ‘student-athletes’ at Oregon never tweet out saying that they wish they had a new pair of Nike’s.
Better yet, who remembers this clip from last year’s tournament with Harrison Barnes and MJ?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:37 PM
There is an argument, which is why I said “probably”. If I was on staff at Okla St. I would see if I could find a way to get them to him. Also bears keeping in mind that as a football player this kid already gets thousands of dollars in free athletic gear.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:38 PM

Easy. Leave ‘em on the kid’s doorstep at night. Problem solved.

In other words, this post is written in the TBL-style narrative as being blindly against the NCAA.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:43 PM
Right, because Johnson isn’t a total diva dickhead. Didn’t he punch Marvin Lewis during halftime of a playoff game they were winning b/c he wasn’t getting the ball enough?
If I have to choose between attention whore receivers, I’ll choose one that is actually good.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:43 PM
Oh, are we still pretending this wasnt a joke? Dear Lord.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:44 PM
I was never much of an Ochocinco fan with all the antics and name changing and what not but twitter has totally changed my opinion of him. He’s extremely generous and kind. Maybe it’s all schtick to make himself marketable but it comes off as genuine to me.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:44 PM
March 7th, 2012 at 2:45 PM
Yes.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:45 PM
So I’m having trouble figuring out whether this thing on my shin is a scab or a piece of wood stuck in my leg.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:47 PM
moleman, pick it and then take a picture of it. I havent seen your calf in a while.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:48 PM

That’s a great set up for a self-aggrandizing dick joke
March 7th, 2012 at 2:50 PM
It’s a gummi bear.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:52 PM
I like how the “dated Kate Upton” part is being repeated on this site despite the fact it appears he was thinking of a different hoar.
And yes, I know how to spell whore.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:52 PM
Is the skin sore to the touch around the scab/wound? Does it itch?
March 7th, 2012 at 2:52 PM
Colonel Truth
And an old meme resurfaces….
March 7th, 2012 at 2:54 PM
He wasn’t thinking of a different girl…the whole thing was a joke.
They’re all Twix.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:55 PM
cross reference with billy buck too
Yeah, that’s who. Billy sells shoes. Bsanders is used for target practice.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Yes to sore, no to itch. I stepped through a floorboard the other day and kind of jacked my ankle and foot up.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:56 PM
If it’s sore then it’s probably a splinter. Scabs itch when they heal. I would soak the skin in warm water and Epsom salt and then try to remove the wood (that’s what she said).
March 7th, 2012 at 2:57 PM
This is one of those times where the original joke might’ve been a little funny, but then the need to explain it over and over again to people makes it all stupid.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Oh in that case it’s likely a termite that has burrowed under the skin. Probably laid a whole bunch of eggs already. Amputate.

March 7th, 2012 at 3:04 PM
Apologies. Didn’t know it was that bad.
March 7th, 2012 at 3:04 PM
mole, scabs taste different than wood. tuck in
March 7th, 2012 at 3:05 PM
Upon closer examination I’m siding with scab but it’s been like this since it happened. Who knows.
Old house. Board at the bottom of the stairs had been a bit wobbly. I came down the stairs Monday night on the way out to buy herb and came down off the last step, hit the board with my heel, and went straight through to mid-calf.
March 7th, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Looks like a scab. Snoopy!
March 7th, 2012 at 3:07 PM
You have Woodstock tattooed on your leg? How douchey of you. It looks like a scab but there’s a chance you have something still embedded in your skin. Try the Epsom salt.
March 7th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
Old house. Board at the bottom of the stairs had been a bit wobbly. I came down the stairs Monday night on the way out to buy herb and came down off the last step, hit the board with my heel, and went straight through to mid-calf.
Did the other end of the board smack you in the face a la Tom and Jerry?
March 7th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
There’s peroxide in the office. I’m thinking about slapping that on there and screaming just to liven this joint up a bit.

March 7th, 2012 at 3:10 PM
Oh man I wish. I couldn’t stop laughing when it happened, the first thing I said was “it’s like an old cartoon.”
Rakes, my old nemesis.
One of my roommates was nearby and saw me drop down and heard the noise of the board, he thought my ankle had snapped in half.

I mean, seriously people. I saw that post, read it, and shook my hand. If it wasn’t clear all along that was a joke/bit, then I can’t help you.
March 7th, 2012 at 4:16 PM
FredSanford was around long before then, but it would have been good and fitting, apparently.
BTW, haven’t seen you around in a bit, which may be a function of my absence than yours, but how are you feeling about the Nats this year? Must be getting excited to see the youngsters get going this summer.
