Why would Ochocinco call out Merriman?
The San Diego Chargers will play against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 20, 2009. But, the hype for the game has already began. Bengals wide-receiver Chad Johnson said on Twitter about Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman: “Somebody please tell Shawne Merriman thats is ass on Dec. 20th, relay the message to the rest of the D, especially Cromartie!!!!child please.”
In response, Shawne Merriman created a video. Merriman said that if Chad Johnson continued to call him out, he was going to ring his neck. This new Merriam vs. Ochocinco rivalry should bring great attention and hype to this game. Though, all the talking will be done on the field.
But, of course, the only problem is that the game between the San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals is in December, which is five months from now. A lot of things can happened between here and then. What if one of the players or both players are out of this game due to injuries, what then?
Well see if the trash taking continues throughout the season, but one thing for sure is that the hype will start up again the week of the game. Only time will tell who will be on the winning side and who will have the last laugh. Stay tuned.
