Winthrop Fan: Come On In Ochocinco!

BOSTON (CBS) - We know New England Patriots newcomer Chad Ochocinco loves Twitter.

But, if he spent anytime on Craigslist, he might post this ad:

Roommate Wanted

Must have XBox, Internet and must like the Patriots!

Ochocinco got a good chuckle from reporters on Tuesday when he said he was going to move in with a fan for the next few weeks.

Apparently he meant it.

Well, plenty of fans have hit Twitter to offer up their homes.  Mike Wendt told WBZ-TV's David Wade that he'd love to have Ochocinco move into his Winthrop triple-decker.

"I think what Chad is doing is great.  It's shows personality and personality goes a long way," said Wendt.

Wednt gave Wade an "MTV Cribs"-style tour of his three bedroom pad, in hopes of luring the football superstar.

"I have a pretty standard kitchen. A stove. Running water. A cabinet full of glasses. The fridge has coffee, eggs, condiments, beer," he said.

No word from Ochocinco if he's going to take Wednt up on his offer. If the Pats receiver starts weighing multiple offers, the fact that Winthrop is 33 miles from Gillette Stadium may hurt his chances.

We will see.
