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

Apparently the officials saw it differently.

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.

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
