Playing the Field: Chad Ochocinco’s sex tape/porn debut, a very Ricky Rubio Christmas

If only this tape was released while Chad was in Foxboro.

The folks at WorldStarHipHop had the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny ‘fu**in’’ Kaye Tuesday as their web site undoubtedly won the internet on Dec. 25 by releasing a Chad Ochocinco sex tape (click here for the very NSFW link).

Yes, EVERYONE knew this was coming sooner rather than later for Johnson/Ochocinco as he even dropped a hint during training camp of this year during his brief tenure with the Dolphins.

Fast forward to 10:45 of this epic press conference:

Mom in her Ricky Rubio blanket, and I in my cap

Minnesota has been in a dark, dark place sports-wise for the past decade or so. The state became a glorified Boston sports feeder system as former Twin David Ortiz, former Viking Randy Moss and former T’Wolf Kevin Garnett all thrived in the Hub. The poor Minnesotans also had to deal with the insufferable Brett Favre and the increasing paranoia of former governor Jesse Ventura (going to the bathroom is a conspiracy to ‘The Body’ these days).

But the Twin cities saw great progress in 2012 and 2013 is promising to be an even greater year. Adrian Peterson is the best running back in the world right now and is already compiling a case for “greatest ever.” Then there are the exciting Timberwolves, who have the best rebounder in the NBA, in Kevin Love, and just had the most intriguing player in the league, in Ricky Rubio, come back from injury.

Speaking of Rubio, it was a very Ricky Christmas for one family in the Midwest as the blanket here was given as a special gift to one lucky mom courtesy of @ondeckdean.
