CINCINNATI–Bengals wide receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens
\nreportedly stayed late after practice Tuesday to begin writing the
\nlibretto and music for, and start preliminary blocking on, a new
\ntouchdown-celebration opera. “Me and T.O. have both been working really
\nhard on these tight arias that really capture the awesome feeling of
\nscoring a touchdown,” said Ochocinco, attaching a Phantom Of The Opera
\nmask to his helmet. “And the Italian lyrics sound so romantic and kind
\nof sexy, not like that German stuff. The good thing about T.O. is that
\nhe sings in this rich, full baritone, but he can also go up into head
\nvoice and sing in this sweet-ass falsetto. It’s good shit.” Owens, who
\nis currently attempting to secure a block of seats near the end zone
\nfor the orchestra, said the touchdown-celebration opera would be two
\nhours and 30 minutes in length, with one short intermission to allow
\nfor costume changes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I like the part about trying to reserve a block of seats. Welcome to my world, T.O..<\/p>\n
