Last week, Chad Ochocinco tweeted Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster that his first-quarter hit on the New England Patriots receiver was “great,” and that Ochocinco would pay any fine the league might hand down to Foster.
That fine came Wednesday, with the league nailing Foster for $20,000. NFL rules prohibit players from paying others’ fines, but that didn’t stop Ochocinco from responding with a personal note to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Twitter, referring to him as “Dad.”
“Dad no disrespect but I don’t agree with @mason_foster fine n I’ll be reimbursing him personally,” @Ochocinco wrote to @nflcommish. “Please feel free to contact me.”
Foster put a big hit on Ochocinco in the first quarter of the Patriots’ 31-14 win Thursday, drawing a personal foul. Afterward Ochocinco tweeted: “great hit last night,if u’re fined I’ll reimburse u boss.That’s the way the game should b played.Stay healthy n have a good yr.”
Foster’s agent, Steve Caric, said the fine will be appealed.
“We have the right to appeal the fine, and we are exercising that right,” Caric said Wednesday night.
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Most of my time has been on Twitter following the trial of Steven Hayes, the man accused in the Cheshire Home Invasion. This has shown me the value twitter has when used properly. If anyone has any interest in this trial, I recommend you do the same. It is very interesting to experience the legal system this way. The feeds I have been following are:

You get a blow by blow recap of everything that is happening although I get a little frustrated when they fall into the normal Twitter trappings of talking about the lunch line or how great their iPad is.

Do your job and stop dicking around on twitter… RT @CoryBooker Snooki! I’m the mayor where R U so I can give you a ticket
“Hey, douche! Instead of backpacking in Europe or whatever the fuck you’re doing, how about you give me six years of my life back?”
“My very first tweet. I started this account just to let you know how disappointed I am in you.”
“Has anyone accused you of being an emotional terrorist yet? And research these words: closure and actual explanations.”
“You suck. Please don’t ruin Star Trek by ending it in Klingon purgatory.”
“You’re a dirty liar. You never knew, you made it all up, you betrayed us all. You betrayed me and I hope you rot, motherfucker.”
