Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, issued a simple challenge to his 3.6 million followers on Twitter, specifically those in Norfolk, Va.

It started in good fun, but the day ended with a round trip spanning almost 100 miles, and a 4-3 defeat for Ochocinco.

One fan and follower, under the Twitter name @TheeCMo, tweeted back with his address, a full two hours away from Richmond, where Johnson had landed.

Challenge accepted.

It seemed impossible, and expectations were surely tempered, but Johnson wasn't kidding around.

And so the brave challenger (and plenty of his friends) gathered, awaiting the arrival of the NFL star.

That wait lasted about two hours, before our intrepid hero gave the update his followers were eagerly anticipating:

Passing out L's might have been his intention, but with the series tied, Johnson's challenger got the better of him, winning 4-3 with Barcelona over Real Madrid.

It was a day to remember for C.Mo, who took on Johnson's challenge before sending him packing in an Uber ride back to Richmond.
