Chad Ochocinco is promising a tweet surprise Sunday when Cincinnati hosts the Broncos.
Said the Bengals star receiver to The Associated Press: “The Twitter world, they don’t need a signal. They’ll know. It’s the quiet before the storm.”
Look for the NFL — which has banned players’ use of social networks from up to 90 minutes before kickoff until after media interviews after the game — and also representatives of a player providing in-game updates on the player’s personal networking accounts — to be watching closely.
Ochocinco thinks he has found a way around it.
“NFL, I would like to apologize to you guys early,” he said. “I understand. I read all the fine print in the letters you sent, but I did find loopholes.”
The NFL’s directives seemed to cut into one of his planned ventures: tweets on game days. At one point, Ochocinco suggested he could get fans to post for him, taking their cue from signals he provided on the field.
