Ndamukong Suh suspended one game for Aaron Rodgers leg stomp

[El Supremo]

...That means Suh will miss the Lions' playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. A free agent after the season with an unwieldy salary-cap number, Suh might have played his final game as a Lion.

Suh has a history — seven documented incidents — in the NFL with dirty play on the field, including his more pronounced stomp on former Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith. Rodgers would not blame Suh directly but clearly was annoyed that it occured in an area of his leg he injured in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then aggravated earlier in the Lions game Sunday.

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy was not happy about the play after the game.

"I didn’t see it live, I didn’t see it on the JumboTron, but from what I’m told, I’m told it was ridiculous," a McCarthy said. "There’s no place for that, so that’s where I’m at with it. I don’t understand it, frankly."

Suh can appeal his case to Ted Cottrell, the league's arbiter, but likely doesn't stand a great chance of having it overturned.

1. I watched it live. The first step MIGHT have been accidental, but when he stepped backwards ...

... and stepped on Rodgers leg a second time there was no doubt that it was done on purpose.

Guys like Suh don't belong in the NFL.

2. Should have been fined a crazy sum too, like $50,000 - $100,000 ... and made to apologize

to Aaron Rogers, the Packers, and Lambeau Field fans at the Divisional playoff game.

That would put an end to this shit permanently.

[TBF]

3. The team should be eliminated from

the playoffs. Period. Then it would end. Just give Dallas a bye and go from there.

6. Isn't it amazing that the other Lions have been so dirty we sort of forgot about Suh?

Guess he was feeling left out so he pulled this sh*t to get himself some attention.

He needs to be suspended and told he has one more chance, another dirty act and he's gone from the NFL for good.

4. WTF? The freaking Cowpies benefit from his dirtiness?!

Can't they just suspend him at the beginning of next season?!

5. I actually thanked god that Suh would not be playing against The Dallas Cowboys...

Don't want to see Tony Romo injured by that douchebass.

[KamaAina]

7. Not to worry. They still have a couple of other dirty defensive players.

So the rest of us may yet be dining on Tony Romo's ribs next weekend.

8. Ridiculous. He didn't "stomp" Rogers.

This is a cheesy reputation suspension. He should appeal.

[a kennedy]

9. He did appeal AND THEY OVERTURNED IT......all he has to pay is 70,000 and he can play....

THIS SUCKS, I'M PISSED, AND THIS IS NOT RIGHT. the powers that be wanted him to play against the cowpokes, and the only way that was to happen was to overturn his suspension. UGH. SCREW THE COMMITTEE.
