Hmm, not what I saw. I saw him intentionally kick the guy as he was in midair.

This is a big reason I don’t watch or follow any “professional” sports. Nothing but a bunch of thugs.

He was just trying to hurdle the punter.

Yeah by using his face as a step stool.

You are probably right since I only saw the clip once at regular speed

He was trying to hurdle the punter. He was not trying to injure him on purpose. He has hurdled players before. Hey, there’s a lot of dirty and rotten players around the league (including on the Steelers), but Antonio Brown appears to be a class act. This was just a mistake on his part.

You must have never heard of Conrad Dobler.

The punter went low to block him and he apparently tried to leap over the guy

I disagree. I saw it when it happened. He cocked his foot back and then rifled it forward into Lanning. It definitely looks intentional to me. But those sorts of things have been going on during Browns-Steelers games forever.

I think he should be fined some normal amount, but that's about it.

Luckily, Lanning didn't get hurt and had some fun with it afterward. It's just another hit that gets cataloged with the rivalry.

Wait, wait, wait... When did this happen?!? pic.twitter.com/SzU9wDVx23 — Spencer Lanning (@LanningSpencer) September 7, 2014

Those players knew how to play without all the dirty tricks. They had class.

The Turkey Jones tackle of Terry Bradshaw pushed the boundaries a bit no?

Wow. What a thug.

So you're saying he's a punk returner.
