Ochocinco fined for orange chin strap

Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco was fined $5,000 for wearing an orange chin strap during a preseason game.

Ochocinco first wrote about the fine on his Twitter account Saturday, saying, "WTF I got a damn fine already, it's the damn preseason, this is some b-------!!!!"

Rule 5, Section 4, Article 3(a) specifies that all players must wear a "Helmet with chin strap (white only) fastened and face mask attached."

Wow, isnt this a load of crap. Seriously, the NFL would do this crap

Heck, let's let Chad ...

make all the rules for the team and the league. Because, evidently no current rules apply to him anyway. Sure, others in the league have to abide by the rule. But no, not Chad. He’s special.

I think he was fined, which means that all the rules are still applying to Chad. Your sarcasm is confusing me a bit since I’m not sure which rules aren’t being applied.

This is our year!

answering those who seem to feel the mean ’ol league and commish are unjustly hassling poor little Chad as he continues to break rules witj which Chad disagrees. Does that un-confuse my sarcasm?
