CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says he doesn’t follow Chad Ochocinco’s comments on his Twitter account because “it’s just a bunch of nonsense.”
Lewis says he’s not interested in the receiver’s dinner plans or other details of his personal life.
Ochocinco was fined $25,000 by the NFL for tweeting during a preseason game, a violation of the league’s restrictions on players using social media. The receiver apologized and has followed the guidelines since.
The Bengals open the season Sunday at New England. Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked Wednesday whether he follows Ochocinco’s tweets. Belichick responded by saying: “I don’t do Twitter or MyFace or any of that stuff.”
