November 13, 200916 yr Someday Chad will be broke and wishing he had not only the $20,000 fine back, but the $1 as well.
November 13, 200916 yr He deserves the fine. It was funny, but I think it crossed a line as well. Hopefully he won't do it again.
November 13, 200916 yr Someday Chad will be broke and wishing he had not only the $20,000 fine back, but the $1 as well. I don't think that's the case anymore. I'm not sure when he decided to start marketing himself for huge profit or who told him how, but he's making more money than ever off the field now.

It doesn't matter how much money these guys make (on or off the field), they can burn through it.
November 13, 200916 yr If he hadn't said the word "bribe" in the interview after the game he might have gotten off easier. He should just said I was gonna take him to McDonald's or something with that dollar.
November 13, 200916 yr I think that Ochocinco is absolutely hilarious, and people need to quit crying about how he "crossed the line" and what not. The only thing he did was make people laugh. People need to get over being offended by every little thing, I mean, I cant even say "Merry Christmas" anymore because someone might get offended. I have to say "happy holidays" or something. Its crap, and people seriously just need to get over themselves.

Its crap, and people seriously just need to get over themselves. I think he is funny as well. I think the NFL acts like a prude in limiting his celebrations and such. I am even willing to bet the Commish gets a good laugh out of some of these things despite having to levy fines. However, mocking at the idea of cheating in sports crosses the line, imo.
November 13, 200916 yr I know we will have a lot of apologists on here that will bash the commissioner for his decision, but there are simply some things you cannot joke around about. Especially with recent scrutiny of referees in MLB, College Footnall, and the Tim Donaghy scandal. I know it was all in fun and meant in jest, but Chad, imo, crossed the line with this one. :thumb:
November 13, 200916 yr Heard a reporter from The Enquirer (I think) on 1530 this afternoon say he was surprised. Thought it would be 25K to 30K. Never, NEVER insinuate a bribe on any level, any denomination.
November 13, 200916 yr The NFL takes itself way to seriously and this is just another example. He shouldn't have been fined at all IMO
