I think Goodell will be more concerned about intentionally stomping another player. Where the foot struck and the end result of the stomp won't matter much. Goodell will look to send a message that the act is unacceptable. He won't wait for a more serious injury to occur from the same act.
What today showed is that it really isn't an act, the dude genuinely can't control himself and hurt his team in a key game by getting tossed.The rest of the league is really going to have fun needling and provoking Suh into more incidents now.
Weird, PFT used the word push. Guess they're not part of the country. I guess all the people in here laughing at the smashers and bashers aren't part of the country either.
Seems like Goodell sent the message that the act IS acceptable since the nut kicker went un-suspended. As did several people this season who threw punches.Eta. What AH did was way beyond a stomp.
4 games would be reasonable considering there were 2 acts not having anything to do with the game of football addressed at an opponent and with prior acts a consideration, however 2 will probably be what he gets.'smackdaddies said:
I think Haynesworh has proven himself to be a first class doosh on and off the field. Doesn't mean Schwartz isn't a dirty coach, but Albert isn't the evidence to use.'smackdaddies said:
As did the nut kicker a few weeks ago. He got no suspension.
Oddly though I should hate him - I am a Mizzou fan and he ruined our season a few years ago when he destroyed our qb. I just happen to live in Nebraska. Too bad he didn't rough up precious Saint Aaron...then there would be real outrage. OUTRAGE I tell you.'Tom Servo said:
The stuff between snap and whistle are supposed to happen, being a #### after the snap is not. Have we become a nation of crybabies and a-holes who can't handle things not going our way?
Suh was flagged, it kept the drive alive....lets move on.
Did the nut kicker have a history? I wouldn't be surprised if Suh got suspended based upon his history with dirty hits.
I'm surprised Detroit fans aren't more upset. Detroit is never going to get past Green Bay if Suh, one of if not their best player, can't keep his head on his shoulders.
So being a #### between snap and whistle is acceptable...but you are expected to be a gentleman after the whistle. It is okay to be an uncivilized animal between snap and whistle but not after? LOL... this thread is getting to be hilarious.
I don't know about his history but a blatant kick like this is a blatant kick. I don't think is the same type of stuff Suh has been fined for before. It's in a different category for me. Regardless of a person's history, a kick like that either is suspendable or it's not.
-- Wrestling and shoving his helmet protected head into turf is not like giving the guy a curbie.I agree with you, just wondering if the Green Bay player had a history. History should factor in when considering the length of the suspension IMO.
He lets his emotions override that brain then.And the attitude that people calling for his suspension are nancies is ridiculous.
The Green Bay Player was Evan Dietrich-Smith.Backup player who does not get any time...I think it may have been his first action in a regular season game.
Marcellus Wiley, Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin are all nancies I guess since they all said a suspension is merited.
Everyone knows the only time you repeat a question is when you're guilty. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-november-15-2011/jerry-sandusky-phone-interview"Are you sexually attracted to little boys?""Am I sexually attracted to little boys?"'Ministry of Pain said:Press: "Did you intend to step on him?"
Suh: "Not by any means"
Press: "What was the leg motion?"
Suh: "What was the leg motion?"
This. He said he didn't do anything intentionally. BS. He said God above knows he didn't do anything. BS. The guy is delusional if he claims it wasn't intentional. He should be suspended, he's an embarrassment to the league. Especially on Thanksgiving.
Under what circumstances should an NFL player ever be suspended? Only when his actions aren't flagrant enough to get flagged?
Are we seriously questioning whether late hits should be frowned upon?
This. He served his penalty by missing most of this game. every ejection d/n warrant multiple game suspensions.
Football's a violent game and people lose their cool. He didn't blow up a defenseless player subjecting him to a career ending blow. He stomped a guy and got ejected for it.
People who throw punches get ejected, but that's it. Same should hold true here. I do think they'll fine him more b/c of thanksgiving.exposure etc.
Not if it doesn't hurt that bad. Suh didn't get his weight into it because he had just been pushed away and was off balance. But that's no excuse for stomping (or kicking or whatever you want to call it) a player when he's on the ground. (Earlier in the thread, you said that somebody was grabbing Suh's leg and Suh was kicking just to break free. That's incorrect. Nobody was grabbing at Suh's leg.)What Suh did was nowhere near as bad as what Albert Haynesworth did; but it wasn't very sportsmanlike, and all of his excuses were bogus. Suh is an extremely talented player and I'd like to see him have a good career, so I'm rooting for him to learn from this — but it's apparently not going to happen without a suspension.
