THIS IS WHAT happens when there’s a lockout.
Bored football players risk their lives by riding bulls for charity.
Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco last just 1.5 seconds on the 1,500-pound Deja Blue, during a Professional Bull Riders event last weekend.
Despite not lasting long, he earned $10,000 for charity and got some much-needed publicity for him and the PBR.
He may not have a long ride, but our hats are off to him for even giving it a shot. When we were at a PBR event a Madison Square Garden earlier this year, we stood just inches away from an angry bull standing in the chute – and you couldn’t have paid us $10,000 to even sit on it.
Never mind opening the gate for a guaranteed thrashing.
