Former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson is never shy about making a bold statement, and this time he's going out on a limb with a Super Bowl bet. Those stakes are even higher this time, with him saying his sex life is now in play, and promising, should the Bengals lose the Super Bowl, to "choose gaming" over getting laid.
Chad Johnson makes a playful yet serious wager
Johnson took to Instagram recently to share a tongue-in-cheek affirmation of the notion that "sex is temporary, gaming is forever." This is a reminder that he is very much a gamer, a pastime he has frequently cited in his public persona. Johnson is playfully betting that the Bengals will win the Super Bowl by saying that gaming would come before intimacy.

It's more than a bit of banter for Johnson, though, as he's tangentially been connected to gaming for a long time. He has discussed his love of video games and the role of that in his life a lot over the years. Johnson also elevates gaming above intimacy, demonstrating just how central this hobby is to his persona. Given the enormity of this statement, it should appeal to many fans who have a similar passion for gaming as well as the idea of someone willing to make a personal gamble.
That Johnson bet is clearly a tongue-in-cheek hyperbole, but it encapsulates his role and the profound attachment he has to his interests. However, what will turn the eyes of Bengals fans and followers alike toward Joe Mixon is whether or not Chad Johnson, who made the bet as bold as the Bengals were during the playoffs, can keep his head up high just after the Super Bowl.
