Weekends: A Chance to Recognize Great RAK's/RAKers

Chad Ochocinco, star wide reciever of the Cincinatti Bengals, has been called a lot of things from fans and reporters. Cocky, arrogant, egotistical, and someone who appears to be more interested in being an entertainer rather than a team player.
In actuality Chad Ocho-Cinco may go down as one of the greatest RAKers of all time!

In an age where our sports heroes seem to be getting more press about cheating, using performance enhancing drugs, committing adultery with 3,000 different women, and even sending pictures of their "junk" to female reporters, Ocho-Cinco reminds us that athletes are not ALL NUTS!!! (no pun intended)
During his career Chad has RAK'd literally THOUSANDS of people. He has done things like take 85 people out to dinner at a fine dining steakhouse, taken hundreds of fans out for shopping sprees, bought and gave away tickets to the movies for an entire theatre, and even bought and gave away the remaining 1,200 tickets to a Bengals home game so the entire city would avoid a TV blackout!!! Even after all of this perhaps his greatest RAK went to a nine year old boy named Ruben.

Ruben St. Hilaire, Jr. is a 9 year old boy who lives in a homeless shelter in New York City with his mom. He wrote a letter to Chad about possibly getting an autographed jersey. Chad, of course, was gracious enough to send one over right away. This would have been a real nice RAK all in itself, but it was what he did after recieving Ruben's follow-up letter that went down in the RAK Hall of Fame (click on the link below).

Chad Ocho-Cinco is a guy who, when it's all said and done, will be remembered as one of the best WR's to ever play the game as well as the most eccentric WR of all time. But perhaps best of all he will be remembered as the King of RAK's. I believe I speak for all sports fans when I say "Chad, you da man!!!"
