Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, who will bring his act to the Metrodome on Sunday, has found himself in trouble with the NFL. Again.
Report: Ochocinco fined $30,000
The Bengals wide receiver will be a little lighter in the wallet when he comes to the Metrodome this Sunday.

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.
Also, it might be worth following Ochocinco this week on Twitter.
