Bengals' Ochocinco fined

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has been fined by the NFL for his actions in last Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Ochocinco, in his usual playful manner, pulled out a dollar bill and held it near an official as a "bribe" during a replay. He even used the word "bribe" during his postgame comments, drawing the ire of the league.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reported the fine to be $20,000.

Ochocinco, on his Twitter page, acknowledged the fine with a post that read, "Barrack [as in President Barack Obama] I've just been fined again, can we meet to set up a fun rule please. I can't go to mcdonalds for 2 weeks now."

The NFL has a rule against players using props during games.
