Bengals Chad Ochocinco’s “Bribe Attempt”

  I cannot believe some of the opinions I am hearing on Ochocinco’s hilarious “Bribe” attempt. If anyone saw this act I would hope that your opinion would be the same as mine. If not I believe the only quote that would fit the NFL fan base as well as the Establishment itself would be “This Town Needs an Enema”. Seriously, I do not remember laughing so hard at anything dealing with sports in a long time. I hear these “experts” talking and saying that he used the word bribe in the after the game interview and that would probably draw a fine. Are you kidding me? It was a buck, a dollar, $1.00, one point something euro, etc. Please Roger show that there is a lighter side to this sport. Hell he probably made you a couple million from that one incident. Better yet if you do fine him, fine him a buck.

  If you are not aware of the ”incident” here is what happened. Chad caught a pass from Palmer on the sideline. Initailly it appeared that he had the ball with both feet in bounds but after a closer look his right toe (I believe) was on the boundary. The play was challenged by the Ravens. As the official was under the hood Chad went over to a member of the Bengals staff and took one dollar from him. He walked toward another official with the dollar in his hand ($1.00) and began to try to get his attention. The official walked away and Chad took the dollar back to the gentleman he retrieved it from. The play was over turned and the game resumed.

  Personally I believe this to be one of the most entertaining moments in recent history. Given the rules that govern the game these days when it comes to celebrations and such it is tough for me to look at this as anything more than a joke. We all know Chad and I am personally happy to see him return to his former self. Last year the NFL seemed dull without his antics. I am not a Bengals fan and really don’t care if they win or lose. I do however watch their games when I can just to see what Ochocinco will do next. I personally feel that his little gags are good for the sport and hope they continue until he retires.

  I believe that he will be punished but not because of what he did or said. I feel it will be due to the timing. I mean the Falcons slash Redskins incident, the Harris punch  and with LJ’s recent slurs I know that Chad will be a victim of timing.
