checked Houston Chronicle online (chron.com) sports page and there is a headline that says "DO NOT POST!!!!!!!! Texans WR Johnson fined, not suspended for fighting." It's under "other top stories" here, if they haven't taken it down:

not surprising

the NFL puts a huge emphasis on past conduct, it's why Richard Seymour wasnt suspended either. Johnson is a class act who lost if briefly.

Did you read the whole thing?

Cause right under it is another article that says they're both suspended

quote:

The NFL has suspended Texans receiver Andre Johnson and Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan for their fight in the fourth quarter of the 20-0 victory over the Titans on Sunday at Reliant Stadium.


Looks like he wrote both articles and is just waiting to hear which one to post.

The headline said he was not suspended then the bottom half the editor must have been preparing for the news in case Goodell does indeed give him a game off...

Chronicle was just covering their butts I guess now article is down but here is the two images

NOT SUSPENDED

SUSPENDED

Yep, article pulled now, right when I was going to copy it too. Glad someone got a picture.

Definitely looks like someone posted something clearly marked "DO NOT POST" Just someone being ready to cover whatever side of the story comes out immediately.

That is BS you cant take punches at players. Look what happened to Rudy T., Andre deserves at least a game suspension!

Richard Seymour did a karate chop at Big Ben so I think Andre should be given a pass this time with a hefty fine.

Rome was just going off on Cortland cause apparently he went to the Texans sideline the play before hitting Andre in the face and told them to "Get Ready"
