Can't Cut The Mustard
Can't Cut The Mustard As the Cincinnati Bengals get set to face-off with the Pittsburgh Steelers with first place in the AFC North on the line, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis has squashed Ochocinco's condiments plan.

The wide-out tweeted this week that he was going to send mustard to the Steelers before their game Sunday at Heinz Field as a way of creating some more interest in the division showdown.

However, Ochocinco was forced to back down by his coach.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to send anything this week, thanks to Marvin Lewis," Ochocinco said. "That's the way to spoil the fun, boss man. I guess I have to talk trash to motivate myself this week."

Over the years, the flamboyant receiver has pulled a number of stunts to boost interest in his team.

One of Ochocinco's most publicized was in 2004, when he sent
Pepto-Bismol to some of the Cleveland Browns' defensive backs before a game, warning them they would need the stomach medicine when they got done trying to cover him. Lewis didn't like it. The Bengals lost 34-17.

Chad had been on his best behavior for most of this season, he kept the trash talk to a minimum and didn't do anything that could incite an opponent. That is, until last week when he sent deodorant to some of the Baltimore Ravens, who came to Cincinnati and lost 17-7 on Sunday.

"I got a nice present for the Steelers. Sending them some mustard since they'll never ketchup when we play Sunday," he tweeted earlier this week.

When Lewis got wind of Ochocinco's latest antics, he quickly pulled the reigns and Ochocinco has to limit himself to putting up a laminated sign in his locker on Wednesday that proclaimed him "still the most uncoverable receiver in the league."
