What’s the difference between winning and losing the Super Bowl?

If you win, you get engaged amid a wild celebration and then take what looks like the most enjoyable plane ride in the history of plane rides. If you lose, you head to Cincinnati to appear in court for a traffic violation.

That’s where Chad Ochocinco found himself about 12 hours after catching one pass for 21 yards in Indianapolis. Ochocinco appeared on charges of driving with a suspended license and a window tinting violation and wound up pleading guilty to the suspended license charge. He wound up being fined $200 and, as you’d expect, there’s a tweet from Ochocinco about the experience.

Losing the Super Bowl might have actually benefited Ochocinco in court. According to WXIX-TV in Cincinnati, Judge Russell Mock said that the fine could have been larger if the Patriots had won the Super Bowl. It’s a very odd comment from a judge, even if it does fall in line with the last name Mock.
