Here is the text from Fanball:

Bengals: Johnson suspended

The News
Fanball has learned that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson has been suspended for today's game against the Steelers. The reason for the suspension was not immediately known.
Our View
Lawrence Hamilton starts in place of Johnson. Peter Warrick will see a lot more passes than normal this week

ESPN just said Johnson won't start but he will play. Whatever that means for playing time...

He was just not started.........sorry about the knee jerk reaction but it was being reported that he was suspended, similar to what happened to Koren Robinson last week.

Not to be a jerk. But if you are starting a Bengal receiver your team has as big of problems as mine does.
Sorry just had to cut my team down a little.

Tony-O-

I saw the same report you did. Fanball was wrong!!! Bastards!

But Mort said he wasn't going to play about noon. I guess they ALL had misinformation.

I've been starting Chad Johnson as my #2 WR in my money league and he has been doing very well for me. I'm undefeated and probably have the top or second-best team in the league right now.

Unfortunately I was on an airplane when the news about Chad Johnson came out, so I couldn't change my lineups, but it didn't matter as he still had an OK day.

Not a problem Noey... unlike some other boards, you won't get ripped (unless it's by someone you know) and flamed for making a statement like that. ;D And besides, it's not that far off base. Chad Johnson has been doing well since the middle of last season, but who knows if he'll keep it up.

Is it just ne or does fanball miss almost everytime in their attempt to break news?

I think fanball misses everytime. They suck! They misdiagnose injuries all the time.

With all that being said, I still find myself sucked in to their site.
