I say he needs a heavy dose of his own medicine while the refs & commission look the other way.

Suh’s mother, Bernadette (née Lennon) Suh, an elementary school teacher, was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, and is a graduate of Southern Oregon University. His father, Michael Suh, is from Cameroon and played semi-pro soccer in Germany while working as a machinist. They met and married in Portland, Oregon in 1982, after Michael Suh was admitted to a Portland trade school. Although his father is only 5 ft 8 in, Suh's great-grandfather, also named Ndamukong Suh, stood 7 ft 3 in. In the Ngemba language of Cameroon, Ndamukong means "House of Spears".

Suh has been criticized in the media and by other players for his aggressive style of play and has been fined a total of $216,875 by the league for four violations in the first four years in his career. In a poll of fellow players conducted by the Sporting News, Suh was named "the dirtiest player" in the NFL. As of December 2011, he had been flagged for nine personal fouls in his first two years, the most of any player in the league in that time frame. He was named the NFL's "Least-Liked Player" in a Forbes-publicized Nielsen report in October 2012.

The opposing players know how to handle the problem if they want to. When they get enough, they will take care of it.

And here I thought Suh was just your typical Nebraska farm boy! I mean, aren’t all their players native Nebraskans? Or just the backup offensive linemen?
