Come on NFL, don't be such stick-in-the-muds.

Every post would be ''What the hell Carson? I'm OPEN!''.

Chad is so talented yet he continues to waste his time with non-football related garbage that is not going to help him become a better football player.

Get over yourself Chad. Using twitter during a footbal game when you are supposed to be huddled up with your Qb so you can win the damn game sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard.

two words: Mentally Unstable

He'd better get used to wearing that fake HOF blazer, because if he continues to act like a jackass, he'll never wear the real thing.

Say what you will about Ocho and his 'tude, you can't deny that his antics are often hilarious. This article brings a smile to my face just thinking about it.

There needs to be a rebel sometimes..

I remember year ago when Jim Mora was the coach of the Falcons and used a cell phone just to see what would happen if they would tie for playoff status. The NFL fined hime for having non-NFL electronic equipment on the sidelines. Also, Joe Horn with his cell phone under the goal post padding. Its a rule.

[SonOfWashington]

What if he pulled a Joe Horn by pulling a phone out of the goal post, but then posted on Twitter with it. :hysterical:

JUST SCORED A TD. IN ENDZONE RIGHT NOW.

[snowman5607]

What a joke. Hell no they shouldn't allow it. The players should be focused on the game, not some dumbass social networking site. Ridiculous.

[Audible_Red40]

Their halftime adjustments don't work in the locker room, so maybe twitter is the answer?

[RedskinsTime]

I'm so glad the skins didn't waste a first rounder on him.

[pjfootballer]

He'd do his team more good to go over the polaroids then to twitter. What a twit!

[SkinsBry]

As a fan, I'd want my team's coaching staff put their foot down on twittering before the NFL has to.

[ncr2h]

Why is everyone against this? If he can perform well on the field, who cares if he does this? I think it would be awesome...he's a breath of fresh air in a league full of stiffs.

[pvkeeper19]

I don't think he should spend halftime using Twitter, but I also don't think it's the league's place to tell him he can't. Leave that up to Marvin Lewis, who I'm certain won't be happy with such behavior.

If I was a cinci fan I'd be royally ****ing pissed if my star player was thinking about what he is going to twitter next instead of focusing 100% on the game.

No, freaking, way. If someone from the Redskins was doing it, you'd be like, Get your Head in the Game.

[MattFancy]

I don't see a problem with it. Do you really think the players sit there and talk to each other the entire time about the game? I find that hard to believe.

[ncr2h]

Cincy has about 20 other problems to fix before they should be worried about whether Chad Ochocinco is using twitter during a game. Until last year, he was one of the few consistent threats on that team.

[CPortJGibbs89]

What a ****ing moron. Just play football and shut the **** up already

Right. He's all ready admitted to practically not practicing at all last year. If he wants to be good, he should concentrate on football. It's one thing if it's spur of the moment celebration, but if you're sitting around planning a touchdown celebration, you aren't focused. There's a reason this clown doesn't get respect - for him it's more about "LOOK AT ME!!" than playing hard.

[Hitman#21]

Let Chad be chad..hes a funny guy let him have fun.

[SonOfWashington]

I'm so glad the skins didn't waste a first rounder on him.
IIRC, we offered TWO 1st rounders for him.
