It’s stories like this that really make me love Chad Ochocinco! You never know what he’s going to pull next.
Last week against their division rivals the Baltimore Ravens Ochocinco “playfully” tried to bribe an NFL official with a folded dollar bill!!
With the Cincinnati Bengals up 14-3 in the third quarter, Ochocinco caught a 15-yard pass near the sideline. The side judge ruled it a catch, but the Ravens argued that Ochocinco’s foot was out of bounds. While the ref looked at the replay, Ochocinco borrowed a dollar bill from an assistant and playfully tried to pass it to the official.
The receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals is always stealing the show. That’s why you either love him or you hate him.

“The NFL will not allow in-game Twittering by players, coaches or others on the sidelines during games, league spokesman Greg Aiello told ProFootballTalk.com on Thursday.
“We already have a rule that prohibits the use of cell phones or other handheld devices in the bench area during games,” Aiello told the website via e-mail.
The issue came up when Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco told a radio station this week that he inteded to start sending ‘tweets’ during regular-season games.
“I’m going to really make it fun. I’m using Twitter during games, during halftime, after the games. I’m going to be taking it to the next level,” he told KGOW in Houston.
PFT promises to look into whether the NFL’s ban on handhelds extends to the locker room.
Jim Mora was fined $25,000 for taking a cellular phone call during a game in 2005.”
