"Speaking at length for the first time since he was traded from the Bengals, Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco isn't feeling any ill will for his former team.

When asked how he now looks back on 10 seasons in Cincinnati, Ochocinco said during Super Bowl media day: "Really good, really good. Mike Brown, who said he liked me and gave me a whole new life drafting me. Marvin Lewis was my coach over a long period of time. That's the person I confide in over a long period of time. Everything about that organization, that city, it was made me what I am today. The fans were awesome. Coach Lewis (was) like a dad."

It has been a humbling season for Ochocinco, who had just 15 catches for 276 yards and a touchdown. He saw only one snap in the divisional round game against Denver and was inactive for the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens after attending the funeral for his father. With the diminishing numbers this season, most have wondered what Ochocinco would like more — an 80-catch season or this. Ochocinco didn't hesitate in choosing the second option."
