Chad Ochocinco Earns $10,000 for Lasting 1.5 Seconds on Bull at Lucas Oil Invitational

Chad Ochocinco may be paid handsomely as an NFL player, but the true windfall for the receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson may just be as a bull rider.

According to the Bengals Post, Ochocinco accepted a challenge from the Lucas Oil Invitational bull-riding event in Atlanta, with a Ford F-150 on the line if he could stay on a bull for eight seconds. Win or lose, Ochocinco would be given $10,000.

He lasted 1.5 seconds on "Deja Blue," earning him a decent $6,667 per second of work.

After his tumble, Ochocinco was nearly trampled by the bull, but he managed to make his escape. See the ill-fated ride below.

Should Ochocinco stick to football? or soccer? or Twitter? or anything but rodeo? Leave your thoughts below.
