    Once an idiot always an idiot, maybe someday Johnson will figure out that he is not allowed to play these stupid games and chreograph his childish charades. Granted, on the surface it does not seem like much, and I could care less that he did it. But once the league starts to allow this kind of crap it will get away from them real fast. He is a grown man, he should try acting like one.

    Is it just me, or did Chad Johnson get off lightly here? Jokingly or not, he was questioning the integrity of the game. 20K means nothing to these guys, but missing the Steelers game might have woken Chad up.

      I agree BHF, but Johnson has his own agenda and doesn't care about anyone else but himself. I wouldn't say he is as bad as TO has been through the years, but his act is getting real old.
