Chad Ochocinco maintains that he wants to live with a Patriots fan, and talks about his adventures in Boston 08.09.11 at 4:57 pm ET

FOXBORO — New Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco said Tuesday afternoon he’s going to pick one fan to stay with “for the first two [or] three weeks of the season” to live with until he gets “acclimated” to the area.

“I’m going to do something different — I’m going to stay with a fan, probably for the first two, three weeks of the season, so that should be fun until I get myself acclimated and learn my way around and just find a place,” Ochocinco said after the Patriots held a nearly three-hour practice on the fields behind Gillette Stadium.

There are some prerequisites, however.

“I’m not sure how many Boston fans I have, but I’m just going to pick someone. I’m not sure how it’s going to work, They have to have Internet and they have to have Xbox. That’s about it,” he said.

Ochocinco also discussed some of his adventures in and around Boston over the last couple of weeks since the Patriots picked him up in a trade. He showed up at last Sunday’s Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway, and has explored the city in his Prius.

“It’s been fun,” he said. “I haven’t used the GPS purposely. The way I learn a new city is by traveling out, venturing out and getting lost on purpose. But this past weekend I was a little frustrated because I lost about an hour, an hour and a 30 minutes, and I couldn’t get where I needed to. And that’s it. Other than that, Boston — actually, heaven — has been good.

“People have been fun. People have been fun. A lot of people are not too fond of the Prius that I drive — I find that hard to believe. Not sure what that’s all about. But other than that, people have been great. People have been great. I got to meet a couple of fans at the Red Sox game, and I wasn’t able to please everybody because I’d have to talk to the entire stadium, but it’s been cool.”

    Man I wish he’d stay with me, :O( I live in Maine though and sadly until I get into my own place again living with my parents. While we do have internet no X-Box but my brother has a Wii, whoever he chooses with be the LUCKIEST fan EVER. Never met Chad Ochocinco before but here he’s a REALLY GOOD football player, I do live less than a mile from the ocean though :O)

    Ocho come stay at my house, am a season ticket holder and i live a stones throw from the best place to get seafood on a daily basis & (ps) i live only 45 minutes from Gillette

  • Uncle Buck

    Hey a Ocho, you would not want to stay with me. Trust me, it would not work out that well. Neighbors are not too open to ah, how do I say this, “new” people in town. I suggest you smarten up and rent a nice condo around the foxboro and live like a normal millionaire athlete. Come on dude, smarten up.

  • Marima

    C’mon over Chad. We’ll have a spare bedroom once two of the boys head off to college in a couple of weeks. We live around 15 minutes from Gillette, have the internet, cable and an X-Box. You’d have to share a bathroom, and maybe help take out the trash and recycling, but we’d share home-cooked meals and some quality family time.

    After two weeks with us you’ll go back to loving the single life, guaranteed.

Just catch the damn ball and we will all be happy.

  • DJ

    You can live at my house and I will quiz you on the playbook. Also, we would play Madden and drink Dunkin Donuts iced coffee.

    Uncle Buck is a turd.

  • Uncle Buck

    Yeah ok DJ. Don’t make too much noise in the basement or Mommy will come down and tell you that she will not make your pancakes in the morning unless you quiet down. Play your Madden and sip your coffee you DB, most people your age have done something with their lives other than live in Mommy’s basement and play video games. Punk

  • Bob

    Come on, Uncle Buck. Live up to your namesake. It sounds like DJ’s house would be a great place to live. We have two narratives going on here now:

    CHANNEL 5 SPORTS ANCHOR: Professional Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots, Chad Ocho Cinco is spending the next four weeks living with “DJ” and his family while he waits to find a house. When asked, DJ says “He’s great. He eats Coco Puffs, and we play XBox in the morning before breakfast. He lets me read his tweets before he sends them, but he won’t let me change any of them. He says that’s important. He is really nice, like a regular person. He isn’t as crazy as people think, he is just normal. He is very serious a lot of the time, and told me the other day that while he is reading his playbook eating his breakfast, he needs to be left alone, and at night as well. He has some crummy looking film he watches all the time, not like watching the actual game. He just keeps rewinding and playing, rewinding and playing, and I can’t interrupt him while he is doing that. He plays XBox afterwards, even if I haven’t done my homework. I beat him all the time, and he got really angry the other day, but after throwing it on the couch, he turned right around and said “Let’s go again”. He woke up a little late yesterday, and seemed really nervous. He kept asking how long it was going to take to drive to the stadium, and kept mumbling “Oh, man. Oh, man. Tom is going to be pissed. *&%$^@#! Bill is going to kill me!!” I told him that he shouldn’t worry, that Brady is cool and Coach Belechick is a nice guy, and he looked at me really funny, like he didn’t know who I was.”

    Or:

    CHANNEL 5 SPORTS ANCHOR: Professional Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots, Chad Ocho Cinco is spending the next four weeks living with “Becky” and her family while he waits to find a house. When asked, Becky says “Chad is an amazing guy. He stays in the bathroom only five minutes, but he comes out looking like some kind of God. My Mom told him not to wear the towel around the waist, and he said “Are you sure?” then began to take it off right there, when my mom said “GOOD GOD YOU CRAZY LOON. I MEANT WEAR PAJAMAS OR CLOTHES WHEN YOU COME OUT, NOT JUST A TOWEL!” My dad is funny, he keeps taking pictures and calling his friends whispering “Hey! You’ll never guess who is staying at my house for the next month!” Chad is really cool…I can’t play XBox with him, because I am no good at Madden, but I watch him play. He told me the other day that if I were older, he would consider asking me out on a date, but since I am only Seventeen, that would be problematic for both of us, and I said I understood…kind of. But he gave me a big smile and let me quiz him on the playbook, so it’s good.
