Football Ochocinco find 20K for fake bribing incident

wildcat09 · 10:10 AM

Per ESPN this morning.

Seriously? I think this is way too much. The No Fun League really needs to pull their panties out. I realize that the mere mention of "bribe" is probably what set this off but come on......

**** the NFL. On multiple fronts.

uhuh. ..more like players need to stick to just playing football, instead of putting on sideshows for attention.

Now if Anderson Silva puts his fist through eight five's skull, all would be well in the world.

nobody was fined more that 15K for the fight with Atlanta and Washington.

Ocho's antics are not a problem. He doesn't rub anything in anyones face and he isn't causing huge problems unlike TO did. Football is all about entertainment so I have no problem with this. I think the only distractions are the ones that the NFL is creating by fining him.

yeah, the NFL hates that behvior so much. So much that the networks immediately zoom in on any player that made any play whatsoever. Networks love it; NFL loves it.

i watched an ESPN classic game the other day from the late 80's; it was refreshing to see a guy make a tackle, and get up and go back to the huddle w/out doing some lame a** WWF 'finishing' move etc. Or see a WR catch a 11 pass and not get up and do a ghey zoro-esque first down motion etc.

**DaFace** · 11-13-2009, 09:41 AM

Lame. It was funny.

I don't know why the NFL gives a shit what endzone dance anybody does or just little fun stuff like this - in fact - if I were them - I would embrace it and market that sh*t.

I am more with this........he doesn't personally attack anybody. His "antics" are always in good fun. The league needs to lighten up. Football is, afterall a game.

The NFL hates those antics so much, they allow the nfl network to continuously show highlights of the incident and now talk about the fine. Hypocrites.

I do think he is a good entertainer, but his focus should be on winning... he's a freaking Bengal, they don't need the sideshow drama.

I have no problems with this one - just nip it in the bud and move on. I think the NFL should be more relaxed in what they allow with celebrations, but something like the bribing stunt - yeah, fine him - it's stupid.

I do agree that some players go overboard.
