Bengals' Chad Ochocinco and Twitter

To lighten up the mood, I wanted to talk about Chad Ochocinco and how he changed the NFL's policies about Twitter. I am a huge football and Chad Ochocinco fan and one of the reasons why I signed up for Twitter was to follow him and other athletes. The NFL change its rules about social media partly because of Ochocinco and other players' extravagant planned touchdown celebrations. I find it interesting that one player using Twitter has actually forced the NFL to change its policies. Now players cannot "tweet" for a time period before and after the game.
