Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, who will bring his act to the Metrodome on Sunday, has found himself in trouble with the NFL. Again.

ESPN reported today that Ochocinco has been fined $30,000 by the league for wearing a sombrero after he scored a touchdown last Sunday in a victory over Detroit. This comes after Ochocinco was fined $20,000 last month by the NFL after he flashed a dollar bill at an official during the course of a replay challenge. He also made the mistake (or maybe it wasn't a mistake) of calling it a "bribe."

So what will Ochocinco do this weekend? Hopefully, we'll find out on Wednesday when he takes part in a conference call with area reporters. Usually, the calls with opposing players are pretty boring but this one should be fun. In fact, I think that either Chip or I will live blog it just in case.
