Another case of Florio going overboard.
I wouldn't mind seeing Chad Johnson in a Pats uniform.

ANOTHER TAKE ON CINCO STINK
On Thursday, Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com reported that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson shoved a league media relations employee in an effort to get away from national reporters assembled in Hawaii to get some sound from him.
John Clayton of ESPN.com characterizes the incident in tamer terms, saying merely that Ocho Stinko "brushed aside" the employee. But Clayton also raises the fact that Johnson's refusal to make himself available to the media could result in a fine.
In our view, Johnson should be fined -- for the refusal to talk to the media, and for his treatment of the league-office employee.
We've got no problem with a guy who wears his emotions on his sleeves. But there's a line, and Johnson has crossed it.
The excuse for his behavior?
"Consistently, I've done it," he told NFL Network, the one news outlet with whom he'll converse. "I haven't done it perfect, but consistently at a high level. I get out of line at times, but what great one doesn't? What great one doesn't get emotional? Find me a great one who hasn't done it like that and I'll be quiet."
Here's one, Chad. His name is Art Monk.
Now shut your f--king mouth.
