Ochocinco fined $20,000 for $1 'bribe'

Things are just getting rediculous. Players can't even enjoy a big touch down run or catch anymore with their teammates with out getting a 15 yard penalty or getting fined.

Everyone knows Johnsons sense of humor and everyone knows that he was just having some fun.

I say let the players have some fun with the game and enjoy their accomplishments. The league says they are doing it to prevent things from getting out of hand, but how many years has the NFL been around and no one has done anything that has injured themselves or put anyone else in danger. (Except for the headbutting of the goal post, but you can only laugh at that)

Just let them play and enjoy the game. It gives us fans a laugh as we watch the players try to dance or mimic something after a touch down or big play.

I understand that things need to be somewhat controlled so that things don't get too far out there. But I thought this one was funny, and definitely not a big deal. Sort of like when T.O. pulled out the sharpie and signed a ball. It's just fun, and shouldn't be snuffed out.

Its funny to watch 85 taunt and mess with the league. whats 20 thousand to him? Escpecially since he can say it was for a good cause. keep it up bengals!!
