Ochocinco Fined $25,000 for using Twitter During Game

Fining Bengals's WR Chad Ochocinco isn't going to stop him from doing what he wants to do.

According to NFL.com, No. 85 was fined $25,000 for 1) having an electronic device on the sideline and 2) posting to a social media site during the Bengals' preseason win over the Eagles last week ... making his experience from the game just a bit more painful that it already was.

League policy prohibits players from using sites such as Twitter and Facebook 90 minutes before kickoff up until the conclusion of postgame media sessions.

Ochocinco tweeted the following during the verboten times (kickoff was at 8:07 p.m.):

"Just talk with Kelly Washington , Desean Jackson, Geoff Pope, Hank Baskett and I caught a ball from Mike Vick, I love prw-game warm up" (6:50 p.m.)

"Man Im sick of getting hit like that , its the damn preseason (expletive)! 1day I'm gone jump up and start throwing hay makers" (9:53 p.m.)

The second tweet occurred shortly after Ochocinco was leveled while running a pass pattern in the middle of the field.

Ochocinco has more than 1 million followers on Twitter.
