It's football. It's about entertainment. People want to see theatrics.

By the fines he receives I've gathered something about how the NFL thinks. You can tackle a man so hard he has to be carried off on a stretcher and nothing happens. But if you celebrate a T.D. by doing a silly little victory dance or wearing a Sombrero you're a no good POS and get fined accordingly. Personally I'm glad he doesn't give 2 shits about fines and will continue to entertain me. Nobody's getting hurt and grown men in a competitive sport should be able to do a "in your face!" when you score. Showboating should be acceptable, anyone who has a problem with it needs to wash the sand out of their Vagina.

actually 85 in Spanish is Ochentacinco, Ocho Cinco would be an 8 and a 5, he's number 85 so he should have made it Ochentacinco. But Ocho Cinco is still pretty damn gangsta.

If Chad Johnson doesn't want to get fined he can simply grow the hell up and stop the constant prima donna crap.

They're going to have to get rid of half the league, and most of the popular players, and I can pretty much guarantee that you like a player that is as much if not an even bigger "fucktard".

Chad should just say that his actions are due to the brain injuries he's sustained while playing, in large part due to the pathetic handling of them by the NFL.

The NFL has much bigger issues to be worrying about than stupid shit like this.

Or you could get a sense of humor.

Exactly. The $1 bribe cracked me up.

Ocho is the most down to earth athlete in sports right now. If any of you follow his twitter you see the things he does with his fans and how he interacts with them. No one else does shit like that.

e.g. He's in SD for the Chargers game and he told his fans to come get breakfast with him. A bunch of people showed up and he took them to Denny's for breakfast and then to Starbucks. It wasn't a media thing or anything like that, he just likes to shoot the shit with his fans. Also, when he was in Minneapolis, he asked for someone to come pick him up and take him to the Mall of America and he'd help them knock out their Christmas shopping.
