Report: NFL will not suspend Andre Johnson

Wow. I'm surprised at this. I'm guessing whoever is next to fight on the field will surely reference this case.
 
Wrong decision. He deserved a one game suspension. Finnegan deserves more. He is a punk. I admired what Andre did, but it still was worthy of a suspension.
 
I think it was probably a close decision; but since Johnson had never done anything like that before and Cortland is a known trouble maker they probably decided to let it go this time.
 
they both deserve a suspension. guys get suspended for less. johnson punched the guy 3 times. finnegan might be scum but johnson still threw punches.
 
Andre Johnson might have gotten fined but he still got a game ball from the head coach. :cool:

But not for the fight. He got it for catching 60 passes for eight consecutive season, IIRC.
 
wow you guys are pansys, what two guys cant get into it on the field? i agree if it starts to become like hockey but real fights are so rare there is no reason to suspend anyone unless it is just a cheap shot like fat al on andre.

I agree. Andre did what needed to be done. I would only say that he should have received a one game suspension solely to be consistent with rule enforcement in the NFL. However, I'm not going to lose ANY sleep over him getting slapped on the wrist. He isn't a troublemaker and Finnegan is. Old school justice, IMO.
 
I agree with the decision, but Mike & Mike brought up a interesting conspiracy theory. The NFL network Thursday game is Hou vs Philly. LOL

That was a good call on Goodell's part.

It was a terrible call considering punches were thrown like it was a playground fight and people around the league are joking about it, but when you fine a coach just $50,000 for covering up cheating, it's kinda hard to justify a suspension for fighting.

If the agremnt is tha it makes the NFL look bad by them fighting and sends a bad message 2 the kids.........................................Then is cheating Worse? Yes! IMO

If u don't suspend the coach for CHEATING then u don't suspend for the fight cuz CHEATING makes The NFL looks way worse.

Good point Count;)


EDIT: P.S Plus I can't stand that punk so I give AJ a pass any way lol

I pay money to watch UFC it would always be a good call to not suspend players for fighting in my book. I wish it was more like hockey in that regard.
 
I thought they should simply have been ejected from the game, both of them. And leave it at that.
