On the first day of Bengals minicamp on last Thusrsday, wide receiver Chad Ochocinco made a bold preditction that the Bengals will make it to the playoffs.
Ochocinco tried to force a trade last year and caught just 53 passes for 540 yards last season after failing. This year he skipped most of the voluntary workouts in the offseason, but finally he came back to the team and began to construct a good teammateship with quarterback Carson Palmer.
"Carson, he's sweet," Ochocinco said. "He's on top of his stuff. As far as the elbow (injury), it's got to be gone because all of the balls had the normal zip. He's on point."
Ochocinco also old reporters that he will be living with Palmer and his family for a week or two, so that they will have a chance to bond and catch up on missed time.

WR Ochocinco & QB Palmer: close as Brokeback Mountain?
A recent report coming from the Bengals’ official Web site said that WR Chad Ochocinco has had conversation with QB Carson Palmer, and will keep close relationship this year.
About the 45-minute conversation, Ochocinco told the website, “I know people are trying to say we’re mad at each other and all that, but we’re good,” he said. “We’re like Brokeback Mountain. I’m going to be with Carson so much in July that I’m going to be the nanny (for his new twins)."
“I’m going to babysit. We were getting down to the details. If he and the wife go out, they have to be back by three. I asked for permission to have company over.”
My first reaction Ochocinco was over-emphasizing his relationship with the QB. It is a necessary step to preparing for the coming season, but no need to emphasize how close they suddenly became. It is just uncredible since there had been six months of silence between them before. 45 minutes is too short to establish a Brokeback-Mountain friendship.
