Called, but what else "OchoCinco's"
"The box of cereal will cost $3. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Feed the Children. The company hopes to sell 100,000 boxes."
Chad knows how to market himself... This is Hilarious but also for a good cause so it's a win-win

Haha nice. Ocho is good about doing things like this for the community and the fans. The haters often miss these good things that Ocho does though. They can't see past his celebrations and Twitter updates.

Exactly, Chad never gets in trouble with the law... He is just always on TV. whether it's during a game, TV Dating show, Dancing with the stars or SportsCenter. Just goes to show that Chad knows there is life outside of football. When it's football season all of his teammates and coaches say he is practicing just as hard if not harder than the rest of the team and his numbers don't lie.
Since I'm not in the Dayton or Cincinnati area, I may have to order a box or two off that site and help support the Feed the Children foundation.

I can't get past that he's an attention whore and never done a thing outside of the regular season.
But that is a cool idea to help the kiddies!

Oh, and I also agree with Skip Bayless today. Chad has become more of a sideshow than a football player.

You did see the part where A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Feed the Children for every box sold? ..... But of course the media and talking heads always forget to mention that part.

And Chad Johnson couldn't just donate the money himself to help feed the children? Oh, that's right, he wouldn't get his name in the news if he did that. Please.

At least he's donating it and not just keeping all the proceeds for himself. Why do you care if he gets a some recognition for it?

Exactly. The same way the media handled "The Decision" and its proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Club.

Wow the haters really reaching....comparing the biggest move in sports to some guy selling his own brand of cereal? Shame on Chad for trying to make money. If he is selfish,i really want to know what just about every other professional athlete is.

Pick6, Its not about hating. Its about this guy has done nothing in the nfl and has to resort to childish acts to get his name out there. Every big game this moron has been in, he's folded. He's not the type I want on my team.

He's been in exactly 2 big games. And you can't fault him for that, WRs don't propel teams into the playoffs.
As for his 2 playoff games, last year he was going up against Revis who shut down every single top receiver he faced, many guys who are better than Ocho. The other playoff game Palmer went down on the first pass attempt and only two passes thrown his way weren't caught. It's not his fault Kitna sucked.

If he wants his cereal to be like him, I bet there will be marshmallows in it.

I don't really have any hatred for him, he's an ok guy and receiver. But I couldn't resist adding to the fire. There are a lot of guys in the NFL that are all for themselves so to see one do anything for a cause is worth some applause. Whether he's wants publicity or not.

Or he's completely obsessed with self-promotion and the goodwill is just a side benefit, a justification if you will to indulge the need for attention.
