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.
