Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Terrell Owens has been fined $5,000 for tweeting too close to Sunday's kickoff and violating the NFL's social media policy, a league source tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Owens acknowledged on Tuesday that he violated the policy by sending a tweet an hour before the Bengals kicked off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Coaches and players are prohibited from using social networks 90 minutes before a game, during a game and shortly afterward. The policy went into effect before last season. The only one to violate it until Sunday had been Owens' teammate Chad Ochocinco, who was fined $25,000 for tweeting shortly before and during a preseason game in August. Source: ESPN
