Ochocinco, Bayless Enter Twitter War

I don't like Chad Ochocinco.

I don't like Skip Bayless.

But I do like the constant fighting between the two. It's like they're little children fighting over who gets to have the last cookie at lunch. Only this isn't a cookie, it's respect, and it isn't at lunch, it's on the World Wide Web.

Now, there are many reasons why Ochocinco is near the top of my most-hated NFL players list. One of them being his annoying attitude surrounding the league and its teams. While I do enjoy the way he reacts to some issues in the NFL, I typically find him to be immature and childish.

With Bayless, you not only get a stuck-up sportscaster, but you also get a person so stubborn that he'll often react in a similar way that his counterpart, Ochocinco, does.

That's why this whole argument is great. Bayless has insisted on a debate between the two on his show, "First Take," but that won't solve anything — nothing will. Ochocinco will continue to act like he is the best player in the NFL and Bayless will pretend like Ochocinco is somebody to be laughed at.

Figuring out exactly when the two began to argue is hard to find, but a good estimate would be whenever Bayless called out Ochocinco a few months ago.

In June, Bayless wrote in a Twitter message that "Chad Johnson lost me when he actually changed his name to Ocho Cinco. Straight clown. 'Hall of Fame' jacket was bad enough. Now no respect."

No respect? If anybody knows anything about Ochocinco, they can count on at least two things — he loves Twitter and he doesn't like to be disrespected. So naturally Ochocinco responded and the battle has been available to the public for free through the social networking website.

For months, there was trash talking and there were ridiculous jokes, but things started to get really heated recently whenever Ochocinco kicked the game-winning PAT and a kickoff in a preseason game against the New England Patriots. Everybody expects something like this from Ochocinco in a meaningless preseason game.

Everybody except for Bayless that is. After saying that the Cincinnati Bengals' receiver to watch this year was not Ochocinco, but instead Chris Henry, Bayless took another shot at the Bengals by saying that "[e]very NFL has two or three tryout kickers in camp, except the cheap Bengals. Do they really want Ocho Kicko trying crucial FG? Please, child."

Hours later, Ochocinco responds by suggesting that he is close to taking up Bayless' offer and appearing on "First Take" for a heated debate. Ochocinco said he was going to jump on Bayless "the way Jim Everett jumped on Jim Rome."

The Everett/Rome reference is a flashback to a 1994 incident where Everett appeared on Rome's show as a guest. On his show, "Talk2," Rome would constantly mock and put down Everett. After Rome did so to Everett's face on live television, Everett flipped a table over and charged at Rome before leaving the set.

If anything like this ever happens between Bayless and Ochocinco, I don't want to miss it. And with a confrontation getting closer, Ochocinco is saving his best for the final push by questioning Bayless' qualifications as a sportscaster: "How the fu#% did you even get a job, whoever hired you gets a short bus child pleeze without the helmet!!! Paid 2 be dumb!"

Bayless has said he is ready for a debate against Ochocinco. And now it looks like Ochocinco is, too.
