Suh Says Feet Too ‘Numb’ to Realize He Stepped on Rodgers; Suspension Lifted
breitbart ^ | Dec. 31, 2014 | Robert Wilde

Posted on 12/31/2014 11:43:33 AM PST by PROCON

The NFL on Monday overturned its one-game suspension imposed on Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for stepping on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during Sunday’s game.

Suh who has a history of cheap shots and dirty plays was seen on camera stomping on Aaron Rogers previously injured leg.

The former Nebraska All-American had appealed the suspension saying that his feet were numb from cold and that he couldn’t tell the difference between Aaron Rodgers’ feet and the ground. Breitbart News reported on Tuesday that Suh’s appeal would be heard by former NFL defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell.

I think the NFL needs to hand out taller boots. It’s getting pretty deep.

Suh was able to find Rogers leg twice and carefully balance on it without a stumble. Numb feet? Numb skull.

He can’t tell the difference between his head and his feet.

The game was played at Lambeau Field. Lambeau Field is heated. His feet were no more "numb" than any of the other players, which is not at all. If this BS flies it will be prima facie proof that games in the NFL are subject to being managed.

I’d hve thought that was common knowledge by now. Who could possibly that an org that stage manages literally all aspects of itself isn’t going to script games to make Blacks look like supermen?

To expand,

If you are interested in winning do you:

A: draft the best
B: Draft a fag

If you want to cash in, do you :

A: Draft the best
b: Draft a Fag

If you are interested in business do you:

a: Let a famous almost Billionaire businessman with a media empire that will promote you daily into the club or

B: A crackhead slut of indeterminite color and sexuality with 2 rap albums and a case of Depends.

I could go on for hours but those two define the NFL’s farce. Then there’s Vick. and....

Okay folks. And I know I’m probably gonna piss a few people off here, but here goes...

1) It’s not a race thing, as the NFL has been handing out fines and punishments to Caucasians and non-Caucasians for all sorts of things these days - many of them silly, while some don’t go far enough. (full disclosure: my biggest issue has been with the lack of consistency with fines, suspensions, etc), but I digress...

2) I looked at the incident carefully, as EVERYONE repeatedly saw it in slow motion. I did something a little different to get it in full context: I increased the speed on the playback just to see it in close to real time. With that view, and the actions immediately following, it appears to me that it probably wasn’t intentional.

3) Yes, the ground is heated in Lambeau Field. Doesn’t mean one’s feet can’t get cold while you’re out there.

4) Among the primary responsibilities given to The position of referee, is the protection of the QB. Now, you football fans know that literally ‘breathing’ on a signal-caller call gets a flag these days - especially against a ‘top-shelf’ QB like Rogers, and no one likes Suh, anyway. Yet there was no flag thrown. Translation: Ref didn’t see a penalty.

I was among those that thought a one-game suspension against and pro-bowl lineman was a little much since much worse things happen inside a scrum during a fumble. IMHO, [conspiracy hat on] The suspension was being done to help R. Goddell’s butt buddy, Jerry Jones this weekend. This was more than punishing Suh, this was punishing the Detroit Loins - who did nothing wrong. [conspiracy hat off]

It’s football, people. Yes, I know Suh has a history, but is Rodgers the first player to get stepped on during a game? I know when I played, it happened every game, and that was just high school.

The bigger problem that I see is how the NFL has become totally reactionary when it comes to incidents. The won’t bother with something until ESPN plays it to death with endless commentary that ‘something should be done’, until something is done - which creates a whole different controversy on its own.

Myself, I’ve turned much of it off because the NFL is become more of a politically correct ballet than it is a sport, like back in the day.

just my $0.02

jimjohn - OUT.

"...his feet were numb from cold and that he couldn’t tell the difference between Aaron Rodgers’ feet and the ground..."

That's what it looked like to me - like he didn't realize he was on him - it's a long way from his feet to his brain.
Just because he's a cheap-shot artist, doesn't mean everything he does is hurtful.

Saw this guy’s story on Oprah’s OWN.

I don’t get why he is cause Celeb.

Because he has a “Boyfriend”?

He was dead last in the draft picks.

His stats in practice, scrimmage and the field just weren’t up to par for a professional player.

He should get a job selling cars or something...

Probably the only thing numb on him that day besides the permanent state of his hollow skull.

Nah. they were in a cup. All the idiots excusing him though? Yup. The NFL at a glance alright...

I could understand his position but, when he lifted up the other leg and put all his weight on Rogers foot I draw the lien. And, I am from Detroit. This is all about the money on the game.
