I'm not amused and the NFL shouldn't be either. When you attempt to personally insult a player as your celebration, you've taken it a bit too far and should receive a fine.

Didn't see the game but in the comment section it appears people are saying Johnson dropped two big potential game winning passes. No word yet on if he's criticizing God on Twitter again.

sokay he flat out dropped the game winning TD, then another game winning TD went just behind him

Almost as funny as the Smitty boat rower move.

It was a dick move but as far as I know there isn't a rule against mocking players. No reason for a fine

Am I the only one who doesn't see what's the big deal.

If you shoot yourself in the leg, you deserve to be made fun of.

it's a TD celebration.. he didn't shoot anyone... in the leg. or anywhere else for that matter.

Hank Williams has freedom of speech, but Stevie Johnson doesn't? :lol:

I wouldn't support Johnson being released over the celebration. To me the celebration is just ugly and mean-spirited. Plaxico could've lost his life and did lose two years of his freedom. I just don't see why you would joke about someone's criminal history as a celebration during an NFL game for your achievement. If he said something on twitter it would be classless but not of much significance.

You say people are oversensitive but I say people are tactless.

Johnson said he was unaware he would be penalized, and added he regrets making fun of Burress.

He's exchanged texts and apologized to Burress, adding that "everything's cool'' between the two.

Burress told ESPN Radio in New York that he and Johnson talked and agreed to move on.

"I don't look at him as any less than he was before. And I don't want everybody to say he's a bad guy because he made a mistake. I've made a few in my life,'' Burress said. "I have a lot of respect for him as a player. And I think he's going to rebound from that.''

Jets coach Rex Ryan called Johnson's celebration "ridiculous.''

San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore has reached the end zone enough times to know what to do.

"If you're going to celebrate, you should celebrate off the field and just celebrate with your team,'' said Gore, noting the only additional thing he does is pay tribute to his late mother, Lizzie Gore. "I point up to my mom. That's it, let her know I know she's watching over me. ... Every time I get in the end zone I want to give her that.''

I really wish I could figure out why my search function isn't working.. says database error. I remember an outrageous claim you've made about someone having rights, much more ridiculous than someone doing a TD dance, insensitive or not..

[DRSundrop]

i have no problem with the td celebration by stevie. it was quick, funny not excessive and to the point. everyones simply too PC these days...

I remembered the wrong topic,

so when exactly did you go from:

in regards to McQueary, a 28 year old man witnessing a child being sodomized and leave the building without doing anything,

Even if he did know about it I wouldn't care. Since I believe in freedom and liberty I believe people should always have the choice to do nothing and should not be punished for exercising their basic human rights.

To this:

I wouldn't support Johnson being released over the celebration. To me the celebration is just ugly and mean-spirited. Plaxico could've lost his life and did lose two years of his freedom. I just don't see why you would joke about someone's criminal history as a celebration during an NFL game for your achievement. If he said something on twitter it would be classless but not of much significance.

You say people are oversensitive but I say people are tactless.

just curious how it's okay for a grown man to allow a 10 year old boy to get raped while Stevie Johnson is tactless for a TD celebration?
