NFL players are known to be popular with the ladies - however, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is turning to the drama of reality TV to find himself a woman. Ochocinco has sealed a deal for his own reality dating show entitled The Tournament.

The show, which will air in July on VH1, will see Ochocinco traveling around the US dating women. Each one-hour episode (there are ten) will feature a winner who will receive a "game ball" and advance to the next round. To add to the NFL-theme, each women will be placed in a bracket and face each other. We're not sure how they will "face each other," but we're hoping it gets physical! Ochocinco, who has four children, is currently a contestant on this season of Dancing with the Stars. He is paired with two-time DWTS champ Cheryl Burke.

Jeff Olde, Vice President of VH1, says, "Ochocinco is one of the most electrifying individuals in sports today. His bigger-than-life personality on- and off-the-field and his notorious skills as a social networker, connecting daily with his fans, makes him a perfect fit for VH1. This show will not only give viewers a look inside his professional life, but also reveal his softer more romantic side when playing a very different kind of game."
