Has ESPN ever met a story they don't beat into the ground. Only WEEI can out do them with beating a dead horse of a sports controversy.

Lighten up. And move on. Take TB's advice: hydrate.

Ocho takes the high road:
--------------------

ESPNForsberg Chris Forsberg
With media pursuing him to his locker, Chad Ochocinco wheels around, smiles and says, "Y'all know I'm not talking
-------------------

Good for Ocho - - he is NOT going to create a disruption for the Patriots - - no matter how hard Mr. Patriot is (now repeatedly) trying to do just that.

Uh, I think that's the intended/expected result by all involved.

It amazes me how quickly "fans" turn on a true, long-tenured, the heart and soul, and the long-time captain of the New England Patriots - Tedy Bruschi...but are quick to defend Ochocino who clearly is having issues grasping the offense.

I could not care less if Chad tweets, drives a puke prius and wears his camo shorts all winter....I just want him to learn the system. Everyone was sooooo excited to have the social media king aboard. Big whoop! Learn the system. Tedy is not the only one to Chad's not getting it. Yes, Rodney said it. Fauria has said it. Damien Woody has said it. Troy Brown has alluded to it. I think these guys know a little bit more than any of us.

He's an ESPN analyst. What are we suppose to do?

Look on the flipside. Did it ever occur to you that you might just be the useful idiot ESPN targeted by having their analyst elevated to god like status based on misplaced loyalty?

All of those players have one thing in common. NONE OF THEM ARE PART OF THIS CURRENT PATRIOT TEAM. They have their opinions. Good for them. I don't care what they have to say. I care about the players in the locker room and I want them to succeed.. Teddy and others represent the past...not the present...but I still love them. I think that's why some people have a problem with what he said. It doesn't bother me either way. It's a free country. Those guys can say what they want, but I don't have to listen.

I am not turning on Bruschi. He is still my favorite Patriot ever. I just think he is overblowing this issue. It is an ESPN trait to continue to push a story that is controversial. I really don't blame Tedy for that.

Bruschi chose to go to ESPN knowing full well what they do.

I admire and appreciate Tedy Bruschi the player and the person.

Tedy Bruschi "the analyst" - - that's another story.

He didn't go into this blindly. He knows who is paying his checks these days - and that this tweet was, in reality, a non-story. I thought he was above this.

It's one thing to state one's opinion - - no problem, if he was against the tweet - - but he and his emplyer are now shilling the story 72 hours later. HE is the one who should shut up now.

Ochocinco was followed by a much larger group of media than usual in the lockerroom today - - and turned around, smiled and said "Y'all know I'm not talking".

Bruschi is the one causing disruption - - and getting paid to do so. Maybe he'll do a 30 minute special on it this weekend! It depends on what the marketing department decides.

It is what it is.
