Inexcusable. Goodell has shown us again why he is incapable of being the commisioner.

Suh has won his appeal and will play in the playoff game against Dallas...

 

Weak.

I'm down on Goody also but I don't believe he hears the appeals.

I don't think you can conclusively say from the video that he did anything intentionally. Suh is a donkey hole who almost certainly was guilty but I don't think you can say that based on the video. He probably just said, "what, I didn't do that."

@AdamSchefter: During appeal, Ndamukong Suh said his feet were numb from cold and he couldn't tell difference between Aaron Rodgers' feet and the ground.

What a joke.

Not surprised he won. As I said in an earlier post, it was going to be tough to prove there was clear intent. Sure, based on his past, it's easy for us to infer that he meant to do it, and I don't doubt in my mind that there was some intent. I wonder if this had been another player if there would have been as much of a call for a suspension??

Probably not, but as we see, it wasn't from another player. It's rarely ever an issue with other players. Mostly just this guy (and the Lions center). It happens over and over with this guy, which is why I'm disappointed by the overturning of the suspension. A $70k fine isn't going to mess with this guy. Entire paychecks and playing time might. This is like the 4th time he's tried to hurt someone seemingly intentionally outside the normal course of play while they were defenseless. The guy either needs to be suspended or cut, or he has no reason to change.

 

My question is, would the suspension be overturned if Rodgers had actually been seriously hurt?

I would counter with if Suh wasn't in the NFL he'd be a soft-spoken, model citizen, highly successful at whatever he wanted to do, and beloved by those around him.

 

That is probably true. He seems like a soft-spoken guy, but all of this leads me to believe he lacks personal integrity and will do anything to get ahead. His success would come at a price, whether it be cheating, stealing, or just walking over others to get there.

I read that he must technically be treated as a first time offender (thus the simple fine the arbitrator concluded was appropriate) since it has been over a year since his last disciplinary fine. That needs to be corrected.

The league can police itself, it's his opponents that allow him to do it.
