Ochocinco Fined For Black Chin Strap

Were I Chad Ochocinco -- and beyond the whole “getting paid millions to play an (albeit really dangerous) game” thing, thank goodness I’m not -- I’m pretty sure I would save my money. Because I would be so obviously obsessed with my goofy, solipsistic touchdown celebrations, and because nearly every time I do one I get fined by the NFL, I would feel the need to keep a little extra cash on hand. And if I was going to get fined by the NFL, I’d make sure I spent that fine money on something fun. Not on the wrong color chin strap. And yet that’s exactly what Ochocinco did, according to his Twitter page.

↵As in all things Ochocinco, a $10,000 fine for a black chin strap proves how ridiculous both Chad and the NFL are. $10 grand for a chin strap color violation? Really, NFL? And really, Chad? You had to have a black chin strap? You’re like a hyperactive child. Honestly.
