November 26, 201114 yr Author I have seen the ESPN pieces on his giving as well. Of course this is getting more play right now. I get that. To say that endowing a scholarship and helping out high school students does not say more about his character than that stomp in the heat of the moment in an NFL game- again, we will agree to disagree.Problem here is, we're not talking about one time, we're talking about repeated fits of rage and his lack of understanding of the situations.
November 26, 201114 yr Author If your issue is the number of games, okay- we agree to disagree, then. The precedent has been set for this action with Haynesworth, IMO.Again, I would agree if this was the first time, but it isn't. 3 or 4 games would suffice, IMO. Along with a fine, that is.
November 26, 201114 yr Author Ummm, yeah we should. The tone is taking a turn that is not one of friendly discourse. You can have the last words- I'm done. :lol: I'm certainly not angry, not in the least. I never took it that you were either. I've enjoyed talking with you about this and think you've done a nice job of presenting your side of the issue. That's what forums are about, to me.
November 26, 201114 yr Author http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7278879/ndamukong-suh-detroit-lions-apologizes-stomp-says-learned-situation Ndamukong Suh apologizes for stomp "In the past few hours, I have had time to reflect on yesterday's game and I want to sincerely apologize for letting my teammates down, the organization, and especially to my fans who look to me for positive inspiration," Suh said in his statement. "Playing professional sports is not a game. It is a profession with great responsibility, and where performance on and off the field should never be compromised. It requires a calm and determined demeanor, which cannot be derailed by the game, referee calls, fans or other players. "I want to reiterate my commitment to working to become a better player, and professional -- on and off the field. My reaction on Thursday was unacceptable. I made a mistake, and have learned from it. I hope to direct the focus back to the task at hand -- by winning." He should have said this yesterday, IMO. On this we agree, totally. I sincerely hope he has learned from this, he's such a talented defensive tackle and I can see him being in the Hall of Fame if he stays level headed. It will be interesting to see what his punishment will be.
November 26, 201114 yr So...was it unacceptable? Am I wrong to assume you read the words you chose to bold?
November 26, 201114 yr Nope! I want to see 2 more pages of y'all repeating yourself I've got an idea. Go write a rant in General Discussion.
November 26, 201114 yr Again, I would agree if this was the first time, but it isn't. 3 or 4 games would suffice, IMO. Along with a fine, that is. I disagree. To blatantly stomp a guy who is down should warrant a suspension if your record was squeaky clean. JMO
November 26, 201114 yr Am I wrong to assume you read the words you chose to bold? Yes you are wrong, but they're the only ones that made me chuckle...
November 26, 201114 yr I've got an idea. Go write a rant in General Discussion. You win the "out of left field" award :lol: ...proceed with driving your point home, like Suh driving his foot into that guys bicep
November 27, 201114 yr Author You win the "out of left field" award :lol: ...proceed with driving your point home, like Suh driving his foot into that guys bicep Nice. And we wonder why we have problems with players like Suh.
November 27, 201114 yr Probably, I liked the Lions till this incident. Now I just think Suh is a fake punk.
