The fines keep coming for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, this time fined for wearing a sombrero after scoring a touchdown.
The NFL fined Ochocinco $US30,000 for donning a sombrero after he scored during Monday's win over the Detroit Lions.
In a letter the NFL told Ochocinco;
"During the second quarter of the Bengals game, you were observed gesturing for, and then wearing, a decorative poncho and sombrero in the bench area.
"Compounding your violation is the fact that your actions were premeditated and deliberate. Prior to the game on your publicly accessible Twitter account, you posted the following: '@adam_schefter what I've planned for today will get me fined when I score but it's so worth it."
Ochocinco was fined $US20,000 last month for conduct "unbecoming an NFL player" after he flashed a dollar bill at an official during a replay challenge in what he jokingly referred to as a "bribe."
