The Facts:
Ochocinco was on the practice field with the Patriots Saturday, and in a brief chat with reporters after the morning session he said he’s willing to change the way he does things if that’s what he has to do to fit in with his new team. “I’ll always be me,” he said. “But there’s a certain way the Patriots do it, and I’ve always been a chameleon, and I’m going to do it the Patriot way, which is win.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ochocinco said he had a pleasant chat with his new coach, Bill Belichick, and that he knows Belichick doesn’t want him to be quite as outlandish as he was in the past. “Bill, we had our talk and without him having to saying anything, I’ll say, there’s no need for some of the things that have been before,” Ochocinco said. ... We'll see. Ochocinco has caught 751 passes for 10,783 yards and 66 touchdowns in his 10-year career. But he is perhaps better known for his touchdown celebrations, for changing his legal name to the Spanish words for 8 and 5 to match his uniform number, and for his prolific tweeting — almost 30,000 messages to more than 2.4 million Twitter followers. Belichick is not among them. “That’s not something I follow, as you know,” he said, cracking a smile. “I don’t Twitter, I don’t MyFace, I don’t do any of those things, so I’d probably be the last to know. ..." But now that the Ocho is a Patriot, we suspect Belichick will get a heads up if his new wideout gets out of line online.
