Chad Ochocinco and Roger Goodell are ultimate homeboys

44Thrilla · Sep 7, 2010

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has taken a lot of money out of Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco's paychecks. A $25,000 fine for violating the league's Twitter policy. A $30,000 fine for putting on a poncho and sombrero to celebrate a touchdown. A $20,000 fine for pretending to bribe an official. A $10,000 fine for a black chinstrap. A $5,000 fine for an orange chinstrap. And so on.

But Ochocinco says he has no hard feelings.

In fact, Ochocinco says he has a great relationship with Goodell -- and that he gets better access to the commissioner than any player in the league.

"Goodell and I talk all the time," Ochocinco told Ryan Wilson of FanHouse. "We talk all the time. I think I might be the only NFL player that has his personal cell phone number and email. . . . I'm dead serious."

Ochocinco also said he understands that Goodell is concerned about the way people view the league.

"The league has an image to uphold but I'm not one of those who breaks that image. I'm sort of like that bad kid," Ochocinco said. "But I'm not doing the things that hamper the image of the NFL."

Overall, Ochocinco says, he sees Goodell as something of a father figure.

"Roger Goodell?" Ochocinco said. "That's my dad."

A dad who frequently takes away his son's allowance.
