Cincinnati Bengals flamboyant wide receiver Chad Ochocinco told Cincinnati reporters Wednesday that he has sent a package to Baltimore as a gift for the Ravens’ defense.

“You’re welcome in advance,” Ochocinco said.

National Football Post is hearing strong unconfirmed rumors today that Ochocinco sent the Ravens' defensive backs some roll-on deodorant.

The implication is obvious.

Prior to a game five years ago, Ochocinco sent the Cleveland Browns’ defensive backs a bottle of Pepto Bismol.

Meanwhile, free safety Ed Reed isn’t a fan of Ochocinco’s Twitter mania.

Ochocinco has made a habit out of using the social networking site to promote himself, and to bait opponents.

He has been challenging the Ravens in relatively amusing fashion ever since they finished their game against Denver.

Reed said he doesn’t pay attention to the wide receiver’s missives, in 140 characters or less.

“No, I don’t,” Reed said. “Next question. I don’t care for his tweets.”
