Chad Ochocinco has been fined $20,000 by the NFL for flashing a dollar bill at an official during a replay challenge -- a joking attempt at what the Bengals receiver referred to as a "bribe" -- in last Sunday's Cincinnati-Baltimore game.
In the third quarter of the Bengals' eventual victory, Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer
completed a 15-yard pass to Ochocinco. Baltimore challenged the call, contending that he was out of bounds, and the Ravens won the challenge.
While the play was under review, Ochocinco held a $1 bill at his side. The official appeared aware of his antic and waved him off.
"I was just being me," Ochocinco told the NFL Network after the game. "I wasn't going to do it for real."
