Chad Ochocinco will replace the injured Wes Welker on the AFC Pro Bowl roster, and with that came another uplifting gesture.
Ochocinco agreed that he would race Chris Johnson of the Titans and the loser would have to give their Pro Bowl paycheck to the Haiti relief effort.
How can anyone have a bad thing to say about this guy? Critics use to call him a distraction to the NFL, but I think he's a breath of fresh air.
Life is too short to be serious all of the time and Ochocinco gets that. Just the fact that I'm calling a guy "Ochocinco" proves my point.
He was very deserving of his sixth Pro Bowl selection as he had nine touchdowns and over a 1,000 yards for the seventh time in the last eight seasons.
It's been a very tough year for Ochocinco as he lost one of his close friends in Chris Henry when he was thrown from the back of a pick-up truck. The death of the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer also hit the franchise extremely hard earlier in the season.
Despite all of that, Ochocinco hasn't missed a beat and he's still trying to do great things for his community and other communities around the world.
