METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Darren Sharper says when he delivers a hit that pops Chad Ochocinco’s helmet off, the Bengals’ flamboyant receiver can decide whether the Saints’ All-Pro safety was just kidding around with tough talk on a social networking website.

While the Twitter exchange appears to be light hearted, Sharper says he doesn’t “play games” on the field and that Ochocinco will find that out on Sunday in Cincinnati.

Ochocinco started the war of words when he wrote that he was thinking of picking a fight with Sharper before the game because he knew he could win.
