08:02 AM ET 08.25 | Chad Ochocinco keeps finding ways to top his own act. [Ochocinco] offered to pay the $20,000 fine levied by the National Football League against Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Mason Foster for a helmet hit during a preseason game. Foster was breaking up a pass play to Ochocinco when he appeared to hit the Patriots wide receiver in the helmet with his shoulder and elbow during the Bucs' 31-14 preseason loss on Aug. 18. "It's a lot, but it's all good," Foster told the Tampa Tribune when he learned of the fine yesterday. "I'll pay it and keep on going. It won't change the way I play. I'm going to keep playing football the way I know how to play football," [said Foster].

Ocho needs to worry about not getting cut by the Patriots. Ole hoodie'll get rid of him quick.

Dumb rule for pansy asses!

Donate that money to one of Myra Kraft's charities instead.

Why is he still in a Bengals uniform? No recent pics?

The Patriots are too embarrassed to admit that they signed the psychopath; photos are prohibited ... but, oddly enough, video is not ...

He's a Patriot now. Belichik has no need to photograph him

Last week, Ocho caught a TD pass. When asked why he didn't have do a celebratory dance, he said, "I play for Bill Belichick now."

Maybe a tiger CAN change his stripes. We'll wait and see.

How is he a "pyschopath"? Because he doesn't conform to the same mores as people like yourself do?

Get over yourself. What gives you the right to judge another?

I did not say he was a pyschopath. I said he was a psychopath.

No, they figured they may as well keep these pix in circulation as he'll be back in a Bengals uniform soon.

As long as there's a microphone in his face he'll be fine. Let the media start ignoring him and that "Patriot Way" stuff will go out the window.

I think Ocho will get with the program. It's Fat Albert I'm worried about. Goodell still has to make up his mind about a suspension for him. Hurry up and decide, fool, before we start calling you Roger Favre.

I will gladly give him an elbow to the head for 20K, hell I'll do it for free!!

August 25, 2011  08:46 AM ET

He offered to pay the guy's fine?

Sorta says he feels the same way we do - Goodell & Company are sissifying the game.

And, as has been pointed out, it's another way for Chad to get media attention.

What's wrong with Foster? When an idiot wants to pay your fine for you, let him!

He already started with antics when he said he'll live with a Patriot fan. He'll never change!

Yup. It's going to be fun to see just how much he gets away with before The Hooded One has enough. Belichick benched Welker for a series in the playoff game against the Jets last year for making foot jokes. Ocho's pushing the limit already.
