The Cincinnati Bengals’ most mischievous player, wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, was fined $20,000 for playing with one $1 on field while playing against the Baltimore Ravens.
It was during the third quarter of the game, while an official was reviewing one of Ochocinco’s catches, the receiver held a dollar bill in his right hand at his side and pretended that he was trying to bride the official. He did not actually give the bill to the official but the league just did not like his behavior. They reprimanded Ochocinco for taking the dollar bill onto the field and fined him $20,000.
Ray Anderson, the league's executive vice president of football operations sent Ochocinco a letter that said: "The very appearance of impropriety is not acceptable. Your conduct was unprofessional and unbecoming an NFL player."
According to Anderson, Ochocinco violated more than one league rules, including rules prohibiting abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures toward officials and rules prohibiting players wearing NFL jerseys from taking items onto the field that are not part of their uniform.

Fans can follow Bengals WR Ochocinco all the time via his new iPhone application
“If you can’t fly here to chill with me you can with this app,” the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco informed fans through a post on his Twitter account. A new application was created on his iPhone with the help of teammate Jordan Palmer.
Through the new application, Ochocinco fans only needs to pay $4.99 to follow his daily exploits in photos, videos and tweets. They can ask his advice on dating or anything else, send their own photos for posting, and track where he is each day when he’s on the road. They can follow media-savvy receiver all the time whether wearing a Bengals jersey or not.
Jordan Palmer, the younger brother of Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, said the application will parallel what Chad does on the field. Of course, his company spent months making the application, which is by so far the most ambitious apps created by the company, which Palmer and two of his friends formed to create apps for athletes and entertainers.
