Must be a slow news day in Lions-land, as the top story making the rounds is Chad Johnson Attention Whore Diva OchoCinco blathering on to the media during a conference call.

The subject?

All things Chad Johnson Attention Whore Diva OchoCinco.

Chad OchoCinco is all about Chad Ochocinci

What I hear everytime OchoCinco opens his mouth...

What did the NFL's resident diva wide receiver have to say? Not much in particular, nothing at all interesting, save for the wide receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson wanting a nickname like the Lions' own "Megatron", Calvin Johnson.

Via John Niyo at the News (His article has all the not-so-pertinent subjects spewed from OchoCinco's non-stop mouth):

Then, he added, "And I want to be like Calvin Johnson."

How so?

"I want a name," said Ochocinco, who has given himself enough nicknames -- he legally changed his name from Chad Johnson a year ago -- to last several careers. "They call him Megatron. So I want a name, too. Like Ochotron."

Ochotron?

Whatever.

As I have OchoCinco on my fantasy football team, I have an even better nickname.

Chad "Killer of Big Al's Fantasy Football Team's Chances" OchoCinco.

A few more come to mind...

Chad "Roger Goodell Sees Me In His Nightmares" OchoCinco.

Chad "Shut Up Already" OchoCinco.

Chad "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" OchoCinco.

Chad "Schtick Is Getting Old" OchoCinco.

Before you get on my case, saying OchoCinco's act is harmless and fun, I'm really not that much of a curmegeon. Some of OchoCinco's antics have been entertaining. His recent on-field stunt of offering a ref a one dollar "bribe" to change a call gave me a giggle (The No Fun League, on the other hand, didn't see the humor in it).

But he needs to remember the old show biz adage.

Leave 'em wanting more.

Chad's constant and never ending attention whoring has me wanting...to leave me alone.
