Ochocinco's dad passed away

[midgar8784]

Patriots wide receiver and VH1 reality star Chad Ochocinco is dealing with a great loss this morning. His father Syl Johnson passed away due to a bout with cancer. Mr. Syl Johnson, an American
blues and soul singer in the late 70 & 80′s, has been in the news as
of late for a pending lawsuit he had against Kayne West. Johnson
claimed West used his style, his sound, and his likeness, but never paid
him for it.

Very sad for Mr Ochocinco and Chad. Maybe this has been part of the problem - him being preoccupied with life issues.

A couple, nothing from sports pages yet, which is odd.

This is very sad news. I hope BB and O'brien gets him a little more involved in the game plan . To help take his mind away for it for a little while.
