BASKETBALL WIVES STAR PISSED AFTER PATRIOTS DROP OCHOCINCO

Uh oh! Does this mean the wedding between Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco is off? Chad is in the unemployment line now. The New England Patriots released him on Thursday, cutting loose the six-time Pro Bowl selection after one season in which he was more active on Twitter than on the field.


“Thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play for the ‘Patriot’ organization… fans were … wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best,” he tweeted at about the same time the team was announcing he had been released.

“I’m healthy n living life, I’ll be fine,” he wrote on Twitter, where he had changed his job description to “UNEMPLOYED BLACK GUY” and posed a photo of himself sitting on a suitcase at the airport, hitchhiking.

Ochocinco, 34, played in 15 games in his only season with the Patriots, starting three and catching 15 passes for 276 yards. He caught one pass in the Super Bowl as New England lost 21-17 to the New York Giants.

His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he is “in the process of gauging interest from potential teams.” During the playoffs, Patriots coach Bill Belichick described Ochocinco as a hard worker who “made a very good effort to do everything we’ve asked him to do on and off the field.”

Ochocinco appeared as a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars” and hosted a cable dating show. Under the guise of the online Ochocinco News Network, he attended the Super Bowl as a reporter for two years, asking questions of the teams during media sessions and even grilling Goodell last year on the prospects of avoiding a lockout.

Last month, he posted online an open letter to Goodell to support the commissioner in the wake of Junior Seau’s suicide, writing “no one is showing any support, I figured I would be the first.”

In his career, Ochocinco has caught 766 passes for 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns.
