CBS Sports reports Cincinnati Bengals legend Chad Johnson gave NFL commissioner Roger Goodell some advice as he was considering loosening some of the restrictions on self-expression after touchdowns this season.

"And I said, 'It's a fine line, and you have to find a way to find a balance between letting the players have fun and be themselves, without losing the integrity of the game as well.'"

This is perfect, of course, because it is akin to the FBI or CIA consulting the world’s best computer hacker about cyber security.

Johnson happens to make a lot of good points, too.
