Chad Ocho Cinco, who has largely held his tongue this season, let it rip Wednesday in a conference call with reporters that cover the Cowboys and later in the Paul Brown Stadium locker room.

“That’s America’s team. It’s one of the greatest organizations ever,” Ocho Cinco said of the Cowboys. “This week, to show my respect for Dallas and its owner, Jerry Jones, I’m going to score and I’m going to kiss the star. I’m telling you, I’m not being rude about anything. I’m going to kiss the star. It’s going to be fun. I’m excited to go to Dallas. You know, T.O. (Terrell Owens), you’ve got two of the don’t-know-what-is-going-to-happen-next receivers playing. It’s going to be fun.”

The wide receiver was asked by Dallas reporters about the Bengals’ 0-4 start, their worst since 2002.

“Man, we are going to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, out there in Dallas,” he said. “I’m bringing the cold tub, the hot tub. I’m bringing the training room. What else can we do? I think we need to open up, period. That’s what I think. I think we’ve been very vanilla. I don’t know the word to use. I’m not sure why, but at this point, you’ve got to go all out.”

You have to love the NFL. Where else can a winless team make such an impact?
