Andre Johnson Will Not Be Suspended

[Nconroe]

Here is a good article on Finnegan antics as well as comments quoted from Mike Ditka that Andre should be applauded, not penalized. I like that.

And, looks like they both officially got $25k fine on this incident, fair enough.
Second article down. with a poll on what punishment options appropriate.

The league knows that Finnegan is a punk and AJ is not. They don't see AJ as a problem player which, I'm sure they took into consideration. Although I don't doubt there will be a few others that will try to bait him so they can get him ejected now that they know he has boiling point.

Thank goodness.

LOL! Dre got a game ball from Kubiak.

From the chron:

Interestingly, Johnson was miked during the Titans' game by NFL Films as a part of preparation for Thursday's game against the Eagles.

Based on the trash talking between Johnson and Finnegan and how it escalated, there might not be too much tape available for use by NFL Films.

From the Chronic:

"With Finnegan trying to cover him, Johnson caught nine passes, including a touchdown, against the Titans. He was given a game ball by coach Gary Kubiak for becoming the first player in NFL history to catch at least 60 passes in each of his first eight seasons."

No matter who was the instigator, we lucked out here that's all I can say, because AJ was the one throwing the punches. And I doubt that he would have escaped without a suspension if the next game on the Texans schedule hadn't been one being telecast by the NFL.

Finnigan says he was satisfied after he got AJ's helmet off. He blames AJ for what he termed "losing it!" Looked to me like Finnigan lost because he got punched in the head 3-4 times real good. He got in maybe one roundhouse swing. The truth is, as everyone watching the game knows, as soon as the play started he came clear across the line to go for AJ's face with both hands. I guess he doesn't consider that "losing it!"?
