    I'd be shocked if he wasn't. That hit was something else, there's no 'he ducked' or anything like you see with guys who get penalized to hitting scrambling QBs behind the LOS, Clausen was well into his slide.

    The #Bears announce that Jimmy Clausen won’t play Sunday because of a concussion sustained after Ziggy Ansah’s helmet shot as he slid

    They should get Ansah too.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Ansah was probably just taking some target practice for Rodgers.

    Jimmy can't remember much about the game but insists he's feeling great!

    So can/will he appeal and try to push it off until later, or just take the hit now?

    He's going to appeal.

    Apparently, he's got 6 other player safety violations on his record. And this one was pretty blatant.

    But we'll see, the league might want the Lions at full strength for the title tilt.

    Dominic Raiola has officially been suspended by the NFL for one game (Sunday vs. #Packers) for "repeated violations of player safety rules."

    SI_DougFarrar ‏@SI_DougFarrar 5m5 minutes ago
    Raiola cut-blocked and punched a Patriots defensive lineman in the back of the head. A month ago.

    Remember the kneeldown play where he took out an opposing player's knees?

    He is gong to appeal, per Detroit radio.

    To me, the Ansah hit was egregious. Sliding quarterback, a hit directly to the head, QB suffers a concussion as a result. But I have heard nothing about the league looking into that one. I wonder why.

    But since Raiola has a long history of cheap shots, the NFL is essentially saying this suspension is more than merely a blow to the Ego.

    The twitterati are united on the idea that he's just a dirtbag.

    Brandon Marshall, from an informed standpoint, says Raiola is an individual of questionable character before the game too:

    Detroit sports talk under the impression Packer fans are already looking ahead to Seattle, which in sportstalkworld means the team must be, too.

    If thePacker front seven can generate a strong pass rush, Stafford will not play well. He can be rattled into turnovers.

    Packer Radio fandom doesn't believe they can beat either Dallas or Seattle. Should just forfeit the season apparently. What a bunch of fence sitters.

    For Detroit sports heads, it just means the Packer fans are - and so must the team be - disrespecting the Leos.

    It's ok....Jared Allen thinks he is a great guy and is just misunderstood.
