During a 20-0 blowout, Titans corner back Cortland Finnegan was constantly yapping and talking junk like he could not see the scoreboard. Like he could not see that the man he had been defending the entire game had pwned him once again. At the time of the fight, Andre Johnson had 9 receptions and a TD. Numbers like that are common when Johnson goes up against Finnegan. However, this time the battle continued well after the play. Finnegan like the punk he is, instead of taking his whooping like a man, started to chirp and yap. Things escalated during a couple of running plays in the 4th quarter while Johnson was blocking and spilled over after a run that was not even on their side of the field and BOOM!! Johnson started smoking fools and lighting up chumps. By all accounts Andre Johnson is the nicest, quietest guy in the league. The exception to the diva wide receiver rule which has infected the NFL. But every man has that point when it is time to go. Finnegan got a cheap shot to the face on him and that was the line. Johnson sees Finnegan twice a year and has to deal with this coward of a person who would rather make a name for himself by trash-talking and not having good, solid play on the field. And Finnegan like the punk he is, backed up that cowardly performance by hitting Andre Johnson's right fist with his face a couple times. Clearly Johnson lost his cool. He felt bad for what happened because he knows that is not him and he apologized after the game.

I have been harping for at least a year for someone on the Texans to step-up and take control and leadership of this team. And leave it to the douche Cortland Finnegan to simultaneously be exactly what the Texans did and did not need. He provided a release valve for a frustrated team and hopefully rallied the Texans behind Andre Johnson who needs to take control of this team. Unfortunately, the Texans play in Philadelphia on Thursday and Johnson might be suspended by the league for that game. Ask anyone in the league if Finnegan got what he had coming and they would say yes. Most people also think Johnson should not be suspended and 20 years ago that would not even be questioned. It is just an unfortunate situation.
Should he be suspended? No. Will he be suspended? I do not know. I do know that if Richard Seymour did not get suspended for punching Ben Roethlisberger last week, Johnson should not be suspended for putting a punk in his place. Hopefully the league will take Johnson's record and personality into account when they decide because while I loved the fire, I would rather see Andre burning up the Eagles on Thursday.
Well as I was listening to the radio this morning, as I normally do, there was an interview with Kevin Walter and he was saying how this was Johnson's first offense so a suspension is unlikely but will undoubtedly be fined. Again, since it is his first offense the fine will be like a slap on the hand but it will be there.
ReplyDeleteHaus, if the fight is a morale booster like you hope it will be (I agree), then maybe the Texans organization should pay for part of the fine. Personally, Finnegan had it coming and he couldn't have picked a better person to do it for him. Johnson is the pulse of the team and showing that kind of passion will make this team rally.
I have been saying that Gary needed to nut up and turn Pollard loose on something, then pay the fine. We needed a jump, a push to get into the 'it'. Did you see Cushing laughing like a god damn clown every time he blew up one of the three best RB our generation has ever seen.. This was the turning point this team needed. Only giving 'dre a 25K fine was the right decision. finnegan is a punk, and it was bound to happen. It might have been good that the classiest player in the league dealt with this fool. Left hand sent him down, and then he smoked him with a right.. love it. Someone holla at finn finn, and tell him that is what pwnt in the face looks like. out.
