swampwright Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Chad Ochocinco has been fined $20,000 by the NFL for flashing a dollar bill at an official during a replay challenge -- a joking attempt at what the Bengals receiver referred to as a "bribe" -- in last Sunday's Cincinnati-Baltamore game. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4651092 What do you guys think of this should he have been fined or should they have said its just a game and he's playing around. 20k seems like a bit high to me but I also dont make the money he makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I personally think the amount in which he was fined was a little overkill, but baybe thats because I am a Bengals fan. WHO DEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 sounds like he has a target on his back to me. The league is out of touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 20k is a bit high, but even Chad expected it. Sounds like the league is getting fed up, but as a fan, I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Due to all of his past stunts this is apprpriate. Too long he as well as many others have gotten away with their antics and it is about time the league stood up to them. Anyone who changes their name to "Ochocinco" has a few screws loose anyway.:hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm23494 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 you must be a steelers fan.....lol Nope, just tired of athletes who think that they are above and beyond everyone else and act out just to draw attention to themselves.

camoman1 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 As amusing as it was..I think he deserved the fine. His antics are getting out of hand, maybe he will learn his lesson from this. And I also agree he is a moron for changing his name.. I would like to see him get traded and have them not give him #85 to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecumseh Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) As someone who lives in Cincinnati and has never been a Bengals fan, I think he has a pretty big mouth for someone who's never won anything! And let us not forget how he turned his back on his team and the fans who fill that billion dollar hot dog stand on the river last year.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I don't mind the dancing, pointing at the crowds, all that stuff, but when they start using these props like the sharpie, and in this case money, thats what kind of annoys me. That was one of the best things about watching Barry Sanders every week, no matter how many times he scored, or all of the incredible runs he had, he always just turned and handed the officials the ball. No jumping up and down, no dancing, nothing cocky, just a few high fives and pats on the back from his teammates on the way to the sideline.
