Yes, I know Papa is a Giants backer and his opinion is biased, but they were also saying that others (Piererra and a couple others) didn't think he should have even been suspended. I totally disagree with them, but what I think (or they think, for that matter) doesn't count. Like I said, we'll find out later today.

Very true. I knew during discussions yesterday, a few people didn't believe he would have been suspended at all.

But, given all evidence and his proven history, any benefit of the doubt anyone might try to give him has long since left town.

The league can't tolerate behavior like that and a playoff suspension is certainly warranted in my opinion, at minimum.

And I also appreciate the fact that it will hurt this thug in future contract negotiations too.

I believe all the other NFL actions that came because of Suh's indescretions against fellow NFL players came during the regular season time period--correct me if I am wrong, as did this one...........but.........the suspension the NFL now laid out hits during the playoffs. Maybe just maybe because this now effects his teammates more than a personal fine, or a single reg. season game missed, his teammates, his teammates will place enough pressure on him to let him know this just isn't what a person does, its not how someone acts, I'm sure mngt and coaches have tried to impress on him, but now maybe enough teammates will.

I'd like to put together a list of all the players Suh has stepped on.....is there a common demoninator among them?

The others I was referring to are those that hate the Cowboys...which is a pretty sizeable contingent.

I think few would have the guts (and stupidity) to publicly applaud anyone for overturning it.

The human side of me would like to agree with you, but if it gets overturned I think you'll find differently. JMO

I don't expect that it will and will be very disappointed and disgusted in the NFL's process if it were.

First the bungling of the Ray Rice situation, followed with inappropriate punishment against Adrian Peterson, and then this?

It would be a trifecta of failure.

Yes, the common denominator is that they are all handing his *** to him, while his team is losing. He then reverts to cheap shots.

Again, an overturn of the suspension is out of the NFL's hands as a single entity. It will be decided by someone jointly selected by the NFL and the NFLPA per the CBA...sort of an "independent judge", if you will. That said, the NFL will get some backlash because of the other off-the-field punitive decisions that you pointed out.

Listening to the Dan Patrick show and the guest host asking if a high profile player should be taken off of the field for the playoffs. Like it's not fair? That is all on Suh he knew that his team had a playoff game coming up. He knows that everybody will look at him for anything dirty he does because of his reputation. And choose to stomp on Rodgers leg. If the Lions lose because of Suh being out he has no one to blame but himself.

I heard the same thing on the radio this morning.
They say > 50% chance that he'll play.

I don't get how that could possibly be overturned. And why would it matter that it's a playoff game?

It makes the punishment more harsh. I've got a feeling now they may overturn it. If Suh had really stomped on the leg I'd feel differently.

The Cowboys should win this game regardless, and i think they will.

I bet he plays. It's the Cowboys, had the Lions being playing the Giants or Patriots no chance. They will move the suspension to next year's regular season.

My take on the matter is that if he has never been suspended (the article does not detail past suspensions) then maybe fines don't send a clear enough message and a suspension would be appropriate.

Shouldn't the punishment for a second offense be more harsh?

Of all the possible outcomes, that's the one I see no chance of possibly happening.
