Tazz013 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 "Ocho Cinco" has been fined "cinco cero cero cero" dollars ($5,000 for those that don't speak Chad's language) for his pre-game jersey modification.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2647613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I don't get it. They said he'd be fined if he wore it during the game, so they fined him when he wore it before the game?Excessive TD celebration I can understand, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkwing Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What a world. Last night this forum discussed the propriety of Bill Bellichick's ridiculous sideline attire, and the fact that the NFL does nothing about it. So tonight we see that the No Fun League is finally getting off the ground and dealing with another egregious violation of its sacrosanct uniform rules. They're clamping down on a humorous name tag worn by a wide receiver before the game even starts.Does this make sense? Sure. Ask Mike Nolan.

FiddySicks Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I bet the NFL shop is now going to put a block on using ocho cinco on the back of a customized bengals jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I bet the NFL shop is now going to put a block on using ocho cinco on the back of a customized bengals jersey.Which is dumb since it's not obscene and it'd probably make for a pretty popular jersey. But that's how the NFL is.This wouldn't bug me at all if they fined Belicheck for looking like a bum, but they didn't so it does seem dumb to me because this is pretty consistent with the way the NFL fines players, in my opinion, which is perfectly fine -- but the way Belicheck looks is so much worse than this to me.

hormone Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 1. They aren't going to fine BB because he "looks like a bum" because he's wearing RBK gear that makes the league and themselves money. Also, football is usually outside in crappy weather so he has an argument.2. They probably had to cap the pre-game stuff because who knows what people would trot out wearing and then who knows what could get on the field during the game.Just saying...

CS85 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm sure he'll appeal. I think he might have something over the league on this, but I'm sure they'll create a rule next season about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'd fine him for messing up Spanish.Eighty-five is ochenta cinco. Edited to add emphasis about how bastardising another langauge makes me mad like hulk!But he doesn't call himself "eighty-five". He calls himself "eight five". So "ocho cinco" would be correct.Either way, it's stupid fine. The NFL has its priorities out of whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He calls himself "Eighty-five". About 17 or 18 seconds and three or four other times in you can clearly hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T.
