Shrewd move by Ochocinco...I really like the guy because he has a genuine connection with fans. I can't be mad at that. $10,000 bill...wow.
If you read his Twitter or Facebook feed on a regular basis, you will realize he does this often. Sometimes he'll buy movie tickets for his fans and tell them all to meet at the movie theater. Other times he buys dinner or lunch etc.. He recently posted that he would be having dinner with fans at every place the Bengals stop on the road this season. He's by far the friendliest and most fan accessible professional athlete I've ever seen.
He's probably the biggest attention w**** the world has ever seen. And yet... we can't get enough of him and we're all wondering what the hell he's going to do next. Sounds... familiar?
Yeah he did this a lot last year. Taking people out to dinner. He also does the same things for movies.
Yeah, he does this kind of thing on a weekly basis...constantly buying meals and movie tickets for fans, wherever he is. Attention w**** or not, the guy makes an effort for his fans. Gotta respect that.
Honestly, I think he's just a good time guy without any close friends. I would imagine he grates on your nerves after a while. He's done it lots of times for the movies and restaurants here in Newport.
I'd be more impressed if he just gave that money to the homeless or something instead of treating customers (that more or less can afford to eat there anyway) a free meal. Oh well, his money...
