1.) He's one of Holder's people.
2.) The game will get more viewership/ad revenue if he plays.
A thug and a bad liar... who does he think he is? Eric Holder?
Apparently Prince Obie’s excuse team contracts out...
I’ll bet some serious money changed hands....
musta been a pretty lumpy playing field
Is Sharpton his agent?
Ah, the call of the NFL...one of our felons really didn’t know what he (it) was doing.
Give him the Tanya Harding special.
Then claim your hands were too numb to know you thumped him in the knee with a tire iron...
Anyone from a cold area can tell you that on numb feet, running is hard to do. you can, but your stride is way off. If your stride is way off, guess what you can’t do?
Play football at a pro level.
PS, Global Warming struck in AZ. It is snowing like hell in the Bullhead city/Needles CA area.
What a bunch of crap.
Good thing I walked away from the NFL when they said “no” to Rush Limbaugh being part owner of the Rams and said “yes” to the Black Eyed Peas girl who wets her pants on stage—she is part owner of the Miami Dolphins.
Has any punishment of an NFL player evrr been upheld? It seems that they have all been overturned on appeal.
I think the big Sports Books had more to do with than anything else. They want tight point spreads, not big underdogs.
All he had to do was show his face and use his get out of jail free card.
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 NFL tried to do the cowboys a favor. can’t have (central) america’s team on a level playing field now, can we?
He did it on purpose.
I’m so glad the NFL got it’s disciplinary policy straightened out.
NOT
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.
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.
