Andre Johnson Cortland Finnegan Fight During Game

Andre Johnson Cortland Finnegan Fight During Game - Andre Johnson apologized to teammates after a fight with Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan.

Johnson, the Texans' Pro Bowl wide receiver, was ejected from the Texans' 20-0 victory over the Titans at Reliant Stadium Sunday midway through the third quarter. He and Finnegan had exchanged shoves on the play before, and after Finnegan drove his hands to Johnson's face, Johnson retaliated by removing Finnegan's helmet and then punching the Pro Bowl cornerback three times.

Johnson apologized to teammates afterward.

"I really don't have anything to say about Cortland," Johnson said afterward. "I would like to apologize to the organization, our owner & my teammates. What happened out there today was not me. I just lost my cool and I wish that I could take back what happened, but I can't."

But Texans' owner Bob McNair didn't seem too upset, telling reporters, "I awarded (the fight) to Andre on points."

Johnson said while he is sure he will be disciplined by the NFL, he added that he hopes to avoid a suspension.

"When that time comes, I'll find out what it is and have to deal with it from there," he said.

Teammates also discussed the possibility.

"It would be a big blow," quarterback Matt Schaub said of the possibility of losing Johnson for the game. "He's obviously one of our best players and our go-to guy. It remains to be seen what the outcomes are going to be. If that's the case, we have to have guys step up and make plays and find a way to beat Philadelphia on Thursday night. Hopefully, he'll be with us and will be able to move forward."

Johnson said he thought the result of the game might have prompted Finnegan to behave as he did.

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
