What does Suh get?

[Harlan Huckleby]

If there was a folding metal chair nearby, I have no doubt Suh would have smashed it over somebody's head.

Is there still professional wrestling, or has UFC squuzed it out?

The league could look at this almost like two separate incidents. First, while both were on the ground, Suh slammed ED-S's head and helmet into the ground three times. Then, after getting up and with ED-S still on the ground, almost as an afterthought Suh turned back and stomped on ED-S's arm. It really was not one continuous act.

This.

Looks like it will be 2 games, sounds about right.

The article said "at least 2". I still think he should get 4 but 3 will probably be the number.

It was all just a big understanding. Goodell said, "You need to stop doing so much harm", but Suh thought he said "You need to stomp on somebody's arm".

I think they should view them as separate, but I think he'll get off light for what he deserves...

This is a good post. The discussion on the networks seems to be about the forearm stomp, but the head slams are ignored. Those were just as bad, in many ways because they were repeated. The league is going to see those - all of them - and not be able to ignore them. I don't think they will treat them as separate in any public/formal way (i.e. the NFL won't say "For two counts of unsportsman-like actions, Suh is suspended and fined ...."), but they will both contribute to the fine/suspension. That's why I would guess 2 games instead of 1.

Considering the emphasis on concussions and neck injuries, one would think that repeatedly slamming an opponent's head into the ground would be frowned upon.

What about the incident earlier in the game in which Suh supposedly ripped Josh Sitton's helmet off but did not get called because VandenBoscch got a late hit or hands in the face penalty for what he did to Rodgers? Should this be part of the review?

Supposedly? He shoved Sitton's helmet off clear as day.

I think they should review the entire game game film with the same attention to detail as the Zapruder home video.

That was a grassy knoll kind of game after all.

Goodell = Ruby?

Goodell = Ruby?

That would make the Packers either the mob, pro-mob Cubans or the CIA. Because the Lions' fans and Packer doubters all think this is some kind of Goodell coverup to give Green Bay a Super Bowl win or at least cover for Woodson's punch earlier in the season. One poster at PFT said something along the lines of: "everyone knows the Packers are truly dirty team...."
