Video: Chad Ochocinco Rides Bull For 1.5 Seconds

by David Fucillo on May 15, 2011 6:00 AM PDT in San Francisco 49ers News

In what I think will go down as a great coincidence, Chad Ochocinco hopped on the back of a bull for 1.5 seconds a day after I was on a mechanical bull in Missouri. I'm not sure which should be regarded as a more entertaining story. I'm in Springfield, Missouri for a good friend's graduation and we were out at a country bar Friday night following the graduation and dinner. I don't know if San Francisco has a mechanical bull so naturally I needed to try it out. At some point I'll try and get pictures or video posted, but suffice to say, it was an entertaining experience.

More importantly, I definitely lasted longer than Chad Ochocinco. After promising to ride a bull at some point (not really sure when he issued that promise), the Bengals wide receiver followed through and hopped on the back of a bull in a Professional Bullriders Circuit (PBR) event. Ochocinco lasted 1.5 seconds on top of Deja Blu and you can check out the footage below. I'd say the actual ride itself is anti-climactic, but it's still impressive (or incredibly stupid) that he got on the bull.

This was Ochocinco's second venture into an alternative career path. Back in March, he tried out with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer. You've got to give the guy some credit for at least getting a little creative during the NFL Lockout.

The big difference

Between your experience and 85’s is that you didn’t have a 2000 lb. Animal with snot coming out his his nose trying to trample or gore you. He’s nuts.

1.5 seconds? Really?

More like 1.5 miliseconds.
Looks like ESPN is in the middle of another time controversy….like Taylor Mays’ 40 time.

He did say gimme the baddest bull you have lol

I doubt that is their hero killer but they didn’t give him a softie. Ocho has brass balls. All the credit in the world to him for backing up his words with action.

Gimme 1 round!

Chad is an entertainer

"I hate it! It looks like a stickup at 7-Eleven. Five guys standing there with their hands in the air."

riding a mechanical bull is nothing like riding a real one

but it is fun none the less.

I’d never get on a bull with it’s testicles being wrenched. Nobody wins.

I never thought he would do it

Chad’s talked about doing a lot of crazy things but always backed out … riding a bull was by far the craziest so props.

For sure I thought he would hurt himself. He didn’t try to hold on so he spared his arm serious damage. Although he came unbelievability close to being stepped on or kicked. As much as hanging onto the bull can be a crazy idea, falling under the bull is the worst.
