Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco plans to score a touchdown today against the Detroit Lions.
And he plans to celebrate after that score.
And he plans to have his paycheck docked as a result of that celebration.
Ochocinco went on Twitter early this morning to announce his intentions, saying in a tweet he addressed to Adam Schefter of ESPN that he has already scripted something that will get him fined.
“What I’ve planned for today will get me fined when I score but it’s so worth it,” Ochocinco tweeted.
Ochocinco didn’t go into specifics, but he later claimed that he won’t fully break the NFL’s celebration rules, he’ll just bend them a little. I have no idea what that means, but I’m curious enough that I’ll be keeping an eye on Ochocinco today. And that, of course, is the point of all of Ochocinco’s antics.
