Suh Suspended According to Schefter/Mort *Merged*

[tyke1doe]

If that's true I'm honestly quite shocked that they did in fact suspend him.

I really didn't think they would.

I didn't either. That's a HUGE blow for the Lions.

 

[tyke1doe]

Wow.

Thats enough of me playing internet attorney. Didnt think it would happen.

Has nothing to do with being an attorney. Your guess was about as good or bad as the next person's.

 

[JJHLH1]

I was looking forward to Zack Martin pushing Suh around all game. Oh well.

 

[tyke1doe]

what did he do?

He didn't do anything.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Glad to see Suh get suspended because it was an incident serious enough to warrant it. Probably should have got more than 1 game considering his history.

 

[Cebrin]

One less fat boy for Murray to troll.

I thought there was a very good chance, given that he got hit with a $100,000 fine last year...this is the fifth straight year that he has succumb to "conduct unbecoming". At some point, fines simply don't get the message across. It certainly did not help that Raiola (center), was just hit with a suspension for doing the same thing.

 

[tyke1doe]

The pessimist in me thinks this is some dog and pony show with the NFL, dropping the hammer with the suspension and then reducing it to a fine on appeal to try and split the difference on this issue. But we shall see.
Of further interest, article on Suh suspension over at Blogging the Boys reports that the other Dt Fairley is injured and may not be able to play the game either. That would leave a crater in that team's defensive middle. Based on those two being their most dominant players, if out, they may not even be able to run their defense as they normally would.

Good!

Roy Williams once got suspended for habitual horse collar tackles. Maybe that provides some perspective on Suh's suspension for his numerous transgressions.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

He didn't do anything.

Jedi mind trick? Lol

 

[joseephuss]

I was hoping the appeal wouldn't happen too soon. That way he could play this weekend against Dallas, get signed by the Cowboys in the off season and then have to miss the first game with Dallas after he loses his appeal. Then we could see at least a few fans backtrack on whether they think he should be suspended.

 

[tyke1doe]

Rodgers didn't help dispel any of those - ahem - rumors about him with that slap..

The discount double slap.

 

[birdwells1]

If it's true it would be a shame since you want to play a team at their best but I doubt Dallas will mind

Uh, not me, if it gives the Boys a better chance at a win then I'm all for it.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

i think they gave a lot of weight to prior behavior and actions..And I agree with the decision,

There is no place in todays NFL football for this BS.

U either believe he had intention or not. good job of faking. But his intentions was clear to me....

 

[IAmLegend]

I'll just leave this here.

 

[ilykdrama]

Whoever thinks this "repeat offender" shouldn't be suspended is out of their mind. I understand if he took ONE step on Rodgers. He took two and the second one he put all of his weight on an ankle joint. Even Rodgers slapped him off of him.

If it was his first offense....Sure. Isn't this like his 3rd? I think he should absolutely be suspended and it's ridiculous.

 

[tyke1doe]

Jedi mind trick? Lol

No. Scandrick merely ran to defend is teammate. He didn't push or hit anyone. If they fine or suspend him for that, the NFL is a total joke.

 

[romothesavior]

There should be no apologies for any breaks the Cowboys get in the playoffs after going 12-4 and having to play in the Wild Card round.

Amen.

Thank God. Screw all this "I want them at full strength" crap. Anything that helps us win is good with me, and I don't want that thug anywhere near Romo's back.

And hallelujah.

 

[yimyammer]

This is gonna hurt his bottom line, I wonder how much it will effect his next contract, its going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Hopefully last week was his last game to make an impression on future teams

You sound like a great fan yourself with that convoluted scenario!
