Andre Johnson: Fined, not suspended
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...e=HP_headlines
You mad? I'm torn. The fact is that you can't allow punches on a football field. At the same time, Finnegan was busting him in the jaw all day and it wasn't like AJ swung his helmet at him. Ultimately I think I'd have dropped a heavier fine on both of them, but I don't think I'd have suspended him either. (Tangentish - Courtland Finnegan is a MFing douche, glad someone gave him a bit of a pop...) |

No shit, it looked pretty tough to catch any ball thrown by Rusty Smith.

The Jeff Fisher vs. Bud Adams duel that has been playing out since VY was drafted has been epic to watch. Cannot wait for Bowe vs. Innegan match up.

I searched and didn't see this posted. I thought it was interesting. They actually had Andre Johnson mic'd up for the Titans game and there's a few good lines in there. Like when Shaub tells the huddle the Titans are trying to bait them, and when Johnson tells Finnegan, "Don't get frustrated."

AJ sounds like a god damn monster. He needs to be a voice actor after he retires.
Also, Schaub seems nerdier than Cassel |

I think it's total bull$#it to threaten suspensions for defensive hits that are accidental or without malice and NOT suspend two guys ****ing trying to seriously injure one another...

Before Johnson ripped his head off Finnegan pretty much just punched him in the face.
Right off the bat hands to the face.

In the mic'd up clips they cut short the after-fight. I'm pretty sure AJ slapped the ref's hands off of him. That deserves a suspension.

AJ is a classy guy and FInnegan is a little punk ass bitch. I think he started it, and AJ finished it. Well deserved. I'm glad AJ didn't get suspended.

Incidental contact.
If he wouldn't have started that incident Finnegan wouldn't have to contact a chiropractor...

You get dacked in the face you're going to respond, I get that. But a brawl is a brawl. MUCH worse than 1/2 the hits fines (and possible suspensions) are being handed out for...

I like AJ even more now.
He did what he could there. He went to the ref and advised him what was going on and the refs didn't step in and put a stop to it. That's a simple 'illegal hands to the face' flag and if they throw it everytime Finnegan does it, he stops. That's the refs fault for not taking care of a known issue. AJ's a badass and this will be the beginning of the end for Finnegan. The league will be watching him, as will the officials. He's going to get no quarter from anyone and I'd imagine he'll begin his slow descent into irrelevance pretty shortly.
