This is obviously hilarious, and the idea of fining him the $1 is great. Unfortunately, I agree with the article that Goodell won't agree. On a related point, will this game finally get people to stop talking about how "disrespecting" the opposition causes them to play better against you? Ochocinco publicly told the Ravens defense that they stink (in his own inimitable way), and then the Bengals went out and got 370 yards of offense (224 through the air). Football is about planning and execution, not whether or not the opposition is "fired up."
He's baiting Goodell. Obviously $1 is not going to bribe an official. He making fun of the league and having a good time of it. More power to him.
I thought it was really funny. Now I wanna see an NBA player have the balls to try it! (Probably would not be quite as well-received, given Tim Donahoe's antics.)
To be honest in the past I've never much liked Ocho. Always thought he was alot like TO. He's completely changed my opinion of him this year. The guy is awesome. Doing the Lambeau Leap and asking the fans permission to jump to them, buying out hundreds of tickets to one of the Begals home games and donating them so the game doesn't get blacked out, getting blown up by Ray Lewis on a blatant late hit and popping right back up to "have a word" with him and then commenting after the game that he didnt think Lewis should be fined, and now the one dollar bribe. :rofl: The guy might be a little strange but I think he's awesome and he has a ton of fun on the field. Not to mention he's got a ton of talent. Ochocinco for president! GO JETS!
I saw this, thought it was great. The guy on the RedZone channel caught it as it happened, they went back and showed the close-up. Funny shit.
I can't wait for Revis to shut him up this year. They've been tweeting about it here and there, mostly there though.
I love how Tommie Harris gets fined like 7,500 for punching a dude in the face, but Ocho gets 20k for a funny joke.
There is no rhyme or reason to any of the fines. It's like that southpark episode where they cut the chicken's head off and see what number it falls on.
Goodell must have been that little kid in school everyone made fun of, because how can u not find that funny. Ocho's the best.
Just heard that Ochocinco said if he scores in Pitt today, then he has a celebration planned that'll get him fined.
Goodell should get ass-raped... that's how much I hate the guy... Everyday he's at the helm he's trying to make football more of a business and less of a game/sport.
Bahahahaha Shannon Sharpe is a fucking tool. Said the NFL should have fined Chad $250,000 because it's a very bad thing for him to do and obviously the small fines don't do anything to him.
