Andre Johnson is separated from Courtland Finnegan by umpire Garth DeFerlice <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Tennessee Titans were the ones getting humiliated by the Houston Texans \u2013 but it was Houston wideout Andre Johnson who lost it yesterday. Titans corner Cortland Finnegan was getting under his skin all game, enough that Johnson told him to stop, but Finnegan kept going. After he swiped at Johnson\u2019s neck and facemask at the line of scrimmage, Johnson finally snapped.<\/p>\n
He knocked Finnegan\u2019s helmet off and unloaded on him with a barrage of punches to the head and neck. Finnegan managed to get Johnson\u2019s helmet off, too, but the referees intervened before anything else could happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I could take back what happened, but I can\u2019t,\u201d Johnson said after the game. \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019ll be disciplined for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are drops, there are Pierre Garcon drops, and then there\u2019s the drop Steve Johnson made in overtime for the Buffalo Bills yesterday. It was epically bad. He essentially caught the ball and just let go. But guess what? It\u2019s not his fault. According to Johnson, it\u2019s God\u2019s fault. He tweeted:<\/p>\n
\u201cI PRAISE YOU 24\/7!!!!!! AND THIS IS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO…\u201d<\/p>\n
Wow. Pretty angry guy. Also angry: the San Diego Chargers. Even though they won last night, freshly returning Vincent Jackson left after three offensive plays with a strained hamstring. Antonio Gates also removed himself from the game when his foot injury acted up.<\/p>\n
NCAA football news: TCU leaving Mountain West, joining Big East after 2011-12; BCS puts Oklahoma in Big 12 title game<\/strong><\/p>\nProbably tired of being labelled a second-tier school, the Texas Christian Horned Frogs are on the move. It was just announced that they\u2019ll move to the Big East after the 2011-12 season according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. TCU has a news conference scheduled for today. <\/p>\n
The Oklahoma Sooners sweated out their Big 12 fate, tied with Oklahoma and Texas A&M and waiting to see which team would earn the right to face Nebraska in the conference title game. In the end, the BCS saved the Sooners, breaking the tie by ranking them ninth in the standings. Oklahoma State finished 14th<\/sup>; Texas A&M finished 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\nNBA news: Heat hold players-only meeting; Nets banish Terrence Williams to D-League as punishment<\/strong><\/p>\nDid you ever imagine the Heat would have a players-only meeting a month into the season? Maybe some of us thought they\u2019d disappoint slightly. But did anyone expect them to be \u201cplayers-only-meeting-bad\u201d? They\u2019re 1-7 against teams with winning records this year. After losing to Dallas on Saturday, the coaches filed out of the locker room and the Heat players talked it out. We\u2019ll see if anything changes.<\/p>\n
New Jersey Nets coach Avery Johnson is a pioneer. He\u2019s the first coach ever to send a player to the NBA Developmental League for reasons other than development. Fed up with his repeated team violations, especially tardiness, Johnson sent Terrence Williams to the D-League. No idea yet how long he\u2019ll be down there.<\/p>\n
NHL news: Chris Stewart breaks hand in fight<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you hadn\u2019t heard of Chris Stewart \u2013 chances are, you would\u2019ve soon. The young Colorado Avalanche\u2019s game is rapidly improving \u2013 to the point that he currently ranks 15th<\/sup> in the NHL with 25 points in 23 games. Unfortunately, his momentum came to a screeching halt on Saturday night. He\u2019s out indefinitely after breaking his left hand in a fight with Minnesota\u2019s Kyle Brodziak.<\/p>\nComments are welcome below!<\/strong><\/p>\nSPORTSBOOK.COM PROMOS \u2013 JOIN and GET up to $100 FREE \u2013 10% New Member Bonus on your first deposit. $20 Mobile Free Play \u2013 Stay on the go and in the dough with Sportsbook.com Mobile.
