Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan is known for being a feisty player and was voted sixth in a Sports Illustrated poll for who's the NFL's dirtiest player, a distinction given in the past to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward. Finnegan would like to be No. 1. "It's a compliment, that's absolutely a compliment," Finnegan told TitanInsider. "He was voted the league's dirtiest player, so you've got to give it up for him. For someone to say something as nice as that, I appreciate it. I'm number [six] right now, but I'm aspiring to one day hopefully be No. 1. So, I appreciate it." Finnegan has some things in common with Ward, a hard-nosed blocker. "He has a little nastiness, a little dog in him. I like that," Ward said of Finnegan. "Every time I watch him, I kind of smile. We are still competitors. We are going to go out there and compete and at the end of the game shake hands and wish each other good luck and go on about our business. I love everything about Cortland, his little tenacious defense. He is always going after guys in run block or passing and whatever. I remember the one game we played down there, I scored a touchdown and he laid a pretty good hit on me. He is a little feisty guy." Source: The National Football Post
