Ochocinco

Chad Ochocinco is donating dinero to the NFL yet again.

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver is being fined $30,000 for his latest stunt — donning a poncho and sombrero after scoring a touchdown this weekend — a person in the NFL told The Associated Press Tuesday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not made any announcement about the fine. The punishment was first reported by ESPN.com.

Ochocinco wore a gray poncho and black sombrero after catching a TD pass in Cincinnati's 23-13 victory over the Detroit Lions Sunday.

On his Twitter account, Ochocinco posted Tuesday: "Dear NFL League Office ... being great means having fun n celebrating. I've written a letter of apology to yall."
