Huh? If you lived through the 80s you know Gregg hated the Bears and sent guys out to injure/take cheap shots. It's a blemish on the guy's career (not to mention the house cleaning in '86, some of which was unnecessary). But the old football coach had a permanent burr up his keister. 8-8,8-8,8-8,8-8,8-8,8-8,8-8,8-8, "You saw it"

I think the Martin slam game was the same game that Ken Stills had a towel with 3 or 4 Bears players numbers written on it - a regular bounty list. Wierd times.

Wasn't talking about the McMahon/Martin at all, I was referring to the feeding of the troll.

How did Forrest Greg the coach ever get Cincinnati to a SB?

He was a lousy coach in GB. Dark times back then. Trying to conjure up the Lombardi mojo through the medium of Starr/Gregg was a recipe for many bleh years.

To be honest, a longer suspension would not have surprised me. Aren't they supposed to escalate the suspensions? If it was his 2nd or 3rd drug offense, he's be a season at least. Multiple player safety violations? Game at a time...

Anyone know anything about this? The league is supposed to have a policy of increasing punishment for safety violations. I'm pretty sure James Harrison's fines went up each time. How come Suh got the same penalty for committing essentially the same violation three times?

Gregg hired Hank Bullough as his DC along with his young student Dick LeBeau as assistant, and Lindy Infante as OC. Bruce Coslet was the ST coach. That is a pretty good staff.

And then Paul Brown hit the jackpot a couple of times in the draft with Anthony Muñoz, Max Montoya and Chris Collinsworth. And Kenny Anderson had that career year at QB.

I know you were. But I wasn't feeding the troll. I was responding to the truth of Gregg being a rotten coach, who tarnished his reputation as a player by encouraging thug behaviour.

"And a closer look at the NFL’s official statement on Suh’s suspension indicates that Cottrell will consider only the incident on Sunday, when Suh stepped on Aaron Rodgers’s leg, and not any other previous incidents, when determining whether to uphold or overturn the suspension. The league’s statement said nothing at all about Suh’s prior bad acts and focused only on the specific incident with Rodgers." quoted from http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...of-suspension/

I just hope that the NFL and Ted Cottrell will finally put their foot down.

Earlier tonight on the NFLN Sapp of all people surprised the hell out of me by calling what Suh did unacceptable!

Sapp gets it right sometimes.

Don't forget Wi's own Tim Krumrie, who was winding down a career sporting a steel rod in his leg that he earned in the Bengal's previous SB appearance.

Krumrie came later, I think he was drafted the year after the Bengals first SB. Gregg stepped down a year or so later, and Sam Wyche was the coach when Krumrie had his horrible SB injury. I don't think he played in a second SB after that.

I see where Mike Pereira disagrees with the suspension. Has anyone heard why he thinks that way? Does he think it was to stiff a penalty?

He reacted very quickly that the incident was an accident. Now his pride won't let him reconsider.

When I saw the incident the first time, I thought it was possible that it was an accident.

Oops, got them flipped, you're right, the Wyche SB appearance was post-Gregg, I thought it was the other way around.

Another example of Roger saying one thing and doing another.
