OK, people of Ohio, we're sorry we took your home-state superhero. But buck up -- you still lay claim to one of the best Miami-bred players in the NFL: Chad Ochocinco.

Of course, Ochocinco continues to prove you can take the boy out of Miami, but you can't take the Miami out of the boy.

Ochocinco has a VH1 dating show coming up, and he plugged it this morning on Dan Patrick's radio show. Here's what he had to say of his search for love:

"I don't have nobody to cook for me. I don't have nobody to go to McDonald's with, or to take to the high-end restaurants like Red Lobster."

Those cheddar biscuits really are the epitome of fine dining.

As for the LeBron situation, Ochocinco asks, "Shouldn't the people of Ohio not be sad because LeBron is leaving, because they still have me to watch?"
