Mid-day talker: What punishment does Andre Johnson deserve?

We say a one-game suspension.

November 29, 2010 at 6:52PM

In case you missed the 42,876 replays of Andre Johnson pounding Cortland Finnegan, we have the video posted below. The Houston Chronicle apparently had a story posted early saying Johnson would be fined and not suspended for the fight, but it has now been taken down with a correction in its place.

That leaves room for a talker. We say what Johnson did was bad enough to earn a one-game suspension -- that if the league is going to talk tough about rough hits and bad behavior, this crosses the line. Your thoughts, please, in the comments.
