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.

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 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?

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
