Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan says fans should get their popcorn ready when he and Houston receiver Andre Johnson take the field Sunday for “The Rematch.†Instead of punches and helmets being yanked off, look for a face-to-face apology with no retaliation and quick jamming probably is out too to be safe. “Just clear the air. Let everybody know no hard feelings. Let’s just play football,†Finnegan said Wednesday. Johnson is ready to listen to end this episode. He regrets losing his temper and yanking off Finnegan’s helmet before hitting him three times Nov. 28. He doesn’t think that brawl changed him and plans to ignore Finnegan’s shenanigans this time around. “He’s a feisty guy. He plays very hard,†Johnson said in the Texans’ locker room. “If you look at other games that he’s been in, he sometimes gets guys out of their game during games and when we played them last time he got me out of mine and got me ejected. That’s just something that you as a player have to control, and I’ll do that on Sunday.†Source: Associated Press
