Andre Johnson vs Cortland Finnegan

Cortland Finnegan has a reputation of being called for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (4 this season). Andre Johnson doesn't have that rep. They were both worthy of suspensions after their street fight during the Texans/Titans game on Sunday. The NFL decided to only fine both players instead of issuing suspensions. Conveniently, the Texans are playing the Eagles Thursday night...a game only televised on the NFL Network, obviously owned by the NFL. Imagine the ratings if the Texans most popular player, Johnson, wasn't suiting up for the game. Shockingly, he'll be in the starting lineup. Ratings versus integrity...money always wins. Finnegan and Johnson, thank the guy who makes the schedule. And Finnegan...thank the ref that separated Johnson from you.
