What does Suh get?

[Pugger]

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?

Hmmm, this is an interesting question. Suh wasn't flagged - for some reason I can't fathom because his act was a lot more egregious than VandenBosch's - so I don't know if the league will address it or not.

Speaking of egregious, someone should tell KVB that colored contacts haven't been cool since the 90's.

Don't like the red eyes, eh?

Love your Avatar. I had that posted on my wall when I was an undergrad.

Per PFT:

"Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Suh called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday to apologize for his actions during the Thanksgiving game."

Ya think he might want to call EDS and apologize to him? Tweet him, fer chrissakes, anything.

What a fucking turd.

There is, as Michael Irvin or Marhsall Faulk suggests, a weird disconnect with this guy. He's intelligent, for sure, and well-spoken. He appears self-aware and reasonable when you hear him speak - at least when he's not defending his actions on the field. Yet when he feels frustrated (I think when he's getting blocked well and probably held and all that) he changes. He seems to feel that it's not right that he's being stopped - whether legally or not. And he lashes out.

Looks like it'll be a two-gamer. Interesting to see how this does or does not define the Lions' season.

Fritz I now see why you get played by hoes.

Anyone believing that this sorry mfer is not some kinda scum is blind. He is a fraud and reminds me of prisoners. Fucking loony, in denial and swearing God is on his side. I believe he feels/believes his truth is real. I also believes he is a dangerous person.

he's not going to apologize to eds because, in his mind, its eds' fault that he got mad in the first place. he's probably waiting for eds to apologize.

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.

Don't know anything about his background, and don't care enough to look it up. Is he reverting to past street behavior? Ever see a thug take care of matters on the street? Head to the ground, stomp on em and walk away.

Have you seen this?

I'm gonna bet she has cuz I've seen fools do that and that is exactly what it reminds me of.

Going a little far arent we? If he was playing 20+ years ago no one would even say anything. Mike Ditka even said he stomped and got stomped on while he was playing. Obviously he needs to control his emotions on the football field but comparing him to a prisoner? LMAO easy essay

He deserves the chair!

Past street behavior and observed thug justice aside, Suh has had a poor reputation before his pro career. A teammate of his at Nebraska recently recalled several battles with Suh for after the whistle altercations (this was an account by the teammate who was named) and there was another, unnamed and unsubstantiated claim that Nebraska covered up several practice incidents while at Nebraska.

PFT had two rumors, one that people from across the league had chimed in and encouraged the league to step in and that Lions teammates actually thought it would be a good thing as well.

Suh's parents are both immigrants (mother from Jamaica and father from Cameroon). She is an elementary school teacher and he is an HVAC technician/installer. He has 3 sisters, the oldest of which played Division 1 soccer and now plays for the National Cameroon team. His parents divorced around the time he changed sports from soccer to football. I haven't seen an article that relays his circumstances growing up, but to judge from what is reported, it seems exceedingly working/middle class in the Portland, Oregon area. Though there is a tale that he once had four players "bounce off" him playing soccer while Suh attempted to score a goal. His family thought it was simply his natural gift of size; the opposing coach took his team off the field.

Perhaps more telling is that he struggled a bit at Nebraska until the Pellini brothers showed up. The Pellini brothers have what you might call some anger management issues, Bo Pellini's bother Carl got caught on tape knocking a few people around after a game a while back. The same Sporting News article mentions that Suh took advice from Jason Peter, a former Cornhusker and a man who struggled for years to beat drug addictions. Jason's brother, Christian, also a former Cornhusker, is famous for his eight convictions* in seven years that culminated in a release one week after being drafed in the fifth round by the Patriots (on talent alone he was expected to go higher, but word had leaked before the draft). The commonly held belief is that the Patriots were willing to take a risk on him in that round, but that Myra Kraft was not. While Christian did not suffer the same degradations his brother survived, the older brother was only signed by the Giants after agreeing to undergo counseling for alcohol abuse, attention deficit disorder and anger management.

The Pelini brothers weren't the only people Suh learned from. One of his mentors was and is a former Blackshirt named Jason Peter. Peter, who spent four years in the NFL, wanted Suh to play meaner. "We're talking about the Blackshirts. There's a swagger, and there's an attitude," Peter says. "After you get hold of the quarterback, you're whispering in his ear, 'The next time, you're not going to get up.' It's that change of mentality. That's what we saw him play like last year and this year."

Peter recounts a game from 2009 in which Suh sunk his meat hooks into Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor. "The old Suh would have just made sure he was taken down. The new Suh took him and slammed him- I mean like on his head. Not that he was trying to hurt him, but he was making a point: Every time Iget ahold of you, this is what you 're going to have to deal with. It put a smile on my face."

* wikipedia has it as eight convictions, though I thought they some were merely arrests. I am close to positive the incident closest to the draft was a conviction.

Maybe you arent as street as you talk. You sure you aint the token brother?

The stomping isnt what bothers me at all actually. Anyone can lose their temper. Most show regret though. Listening to him talk after the fact tells me everything I need to know. You really can't see what I see in this fool?

The head bashing and stomp (why is it being called a "kick", that was no "kick") all bother me.

But I agree, had he just proffered an honest, sincere apology, like the dude from the Vikings a few weeks ago, much of this would not be happening.......
