no its not worse than a safety intentionally going head to head, but there are way more things going on, have you noticed that GBs recievers don&#039;t get many hits like that, mainly cuz Rodgers doesn&#039;t lead them into situations where its possible.]]></description>

Not even close.  Suspend the illegal hits before Suh&#039;s little fights on the ground (with pads on).  It was against the Packers---totally understandable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The worst part about what Suh did is the fact that he did it on Thanksgiving, when pretty much EVERY football fan in the country was watching. Right in front of the cameras. Right next to an official. After the play was obviously over. It doesn&#039;t get any more obvious than that. It will seriously make the NFL look bad if they don&#039;t give him a harsh penalty, especially after he made his little trip into Goodell&#039;s office and Goodell turned around and publicly... stroked his ego, to put it mildly.

On top of all that, Suh blamed the refs for taking him out of the game! Even when he did finally apologize, via Facebook (how professional!), it was a lame attempt at saving face... it wasn&#039;t even a real apology.

His initial actions on their own were bad enough, but the way he handled the situation afterwards just goes to show that the guy doesn&#039;t care and thinks he&#039;s above everyone else, and above the league. He&#039;s a piece of crap. I don&#039;t care how good of a player he is, I wouldn&#039;t want a hotheaded 12 year-old on my team.]]></description>

Ok so tell me this who has more control in the outcome of a play thats been fined in the NFL. 

A safety trying to jar the ball loose of a reciever coming over the middle?

 OR

Two linemen on the ground? 

Suh doesn&#039;t have any self control, if you need more proof look up the play on Delhomme. Its no ones fault but his own.

I suppose you could say I&#039;m not talented enough, but I&#039;m also a female and the last time I checked, females are not allowed to play football.

It is a privilege to play in the NFL, just as it is in the NBA, or NHL or to be a fighter in the UFC or a world class boxer.  You obviously miss the point.  Playing in a professional sport on television comes with responsibility, whether you like to think so or not.  First you have to work to get there, and then you have to work to stay there.  If it were a right, then by goodness I should be out there shouldn&#039;t I?  No.  The point is, there is always another guy ready and able, with the talent, to step in to that position - so just because he made it there, doesn&#039;t mean he has the right to stay.   You&#039;re obviously one of those &quot;entitled&quot; types eh?

One should try to remain a good person no matter what they do for a living.  Boxers punch other boxers in the face for a living, it&#039;s what they do outside of the ring or after the fight that determines their character.]]></description>

Atleast when DB takes someones head off both players are moving 110 and collisions happen DURING the play and some of it might be accidental maybe the recievers ducks the defender misses his orginal target.

Not someone dribbling a persons head off the turf, and stomping on them while getting up after a plays been done.

		<description><![CDATA[I am a life long football fan. My priorities in life equate exactly to 1. God, 2. Family and 3. Football.  I am a firm believer that football is a physical chess match.  Yes, I love the hard hits as much as anyone, but the true beauty of the game comes from watching whose game plan is going to out wit the other.  Whose QB can read the defensive coverages better, throw the ball faster and with more accuracy? Or whose DT can get to the opposing QB despite being double or triple teamed?  Which receiver will go out and run their route so superior that not DB can defend it? Whose RB can break tackles or juke and jive his way down the field despite the entire opposing defense coming for him?  Whose Corners or safeties will read an opposing receivers route so well they can jump it and snatch the ball?

For any of you who don&#039;t watch football for these reasons, you&#039;re missing out.  It is the best part of the game.  Physicality or aggression do not need to be construed as negative.

To make comments such as, Suh acted violently in a violent game is sheer ignorance.  People who make comments like that are missing the point and are those same people who never get ahead in life, all the while, blaming someone else for their lack of achievment.  

For the post earlier about Suh having a poor upbringing or a rough childhood as an excuse for his actions....were you watching the story of James Jones?  How about Ray Rice?  Maybe Michael Oher?  There are several more examples of &quot;rough&quot; childhoods in the NFL that have turned out some outstandingly great football players and warm the hearts of human beings.

During the plays it is the intention of every football player to play tough.  Noone, especially the football fans of the nation expect any of these players to go out and lay down for the other team.  However, sportsmanship does not include shoving a man&#039;s head into the ground after the play or stomping on a person on the ground, whether it hurt the other player or not.

Even in the UFC or MMA fighting in general, they do not wish to be portrayed as neanderthals.  The train hard and use skill to beat the other man in combat.  How is it perceived if after a fight, the winner does not shake the hand of the loser and tell him it was hard fought?  Does the show of character and sportsmanship make the winning fighter a pansie?

How about when Tyson bit Holyfield?  How do we perceive Tyson now?  He was overmatched, he was going to lose, and he went to a cheap and taudry act to gain ground, or out of frustration?  Does this make what Suh did more or less dirty because he committed this act during a football game? 

Is football more violent to you all then boxing or MMA?  It&#039;s not okay to pull cheap shots after the bell in boxing, but it&#039;s okay during a football game?  I am trying to understand the logic behind some of your posts.

I can understand an occassional loss of cool - being that it is a physical game, of course emotions will run high - and men have a tendency to react when they are shown up or feel embarassed.  So when Robison kicks Lang for being thrown on his back during a play, or when Woodson gut checks a guy because he felt he was being held to long, we (football fans) can partially accept it out of a frustration motivated action.  We expect the apologies which we receive and we move on.  If the following week Robison kicked another player in the junk, or Woodson threw punches to someone new, then it becomes a pattern and IMO is no longer partially acceptable.

Some of you will now assume that then if Suh is showing a pattern of behavior, what about James Harrison?  Harrison is making old school tackles on opposing players.  He isn&#039;t stomping people after the whistle and lying about it later.

Tough, physical, in your face football - absolutely, bring it on!  Waiting until after the whistle to do harm, there is no place for it.  Suh should be suspended and Jim Schwartz, who quite obviously has anger issues of his own, should be investigated.

And for the record, Albert Haynesworth should not have been suspended for his actions, he should&#039;ve been tossed from the NFL.  His actions were criminal.

Playing football in the NFL is a priviledge, not a right.  I think it may be high time for these players to be reminded of that fact.]]></description>

Whose RB can break tackles or juke and jive his way down the field despite the entire opposing defense coming for him?  Whose Corners or safeties will read an opposing receivers route so well they can jump it and snatch the ball?</p>
<p>For any of you who don&#8217;t watch football for these reasons, you&#8217;re missing out.  It is the best part of the game.  Physicality or aggression do not need to be construed as negative.</p>
<p>To make comments such as, Suh acted violently in a violent game is sheer ignorance.  People who make comments like that are missing the point and are those same people who never get ahead in life, all the while, blaming someone else for their lack of achievment.  </p>
<p>For the post earlier about Suh having a poor upbringing or a rough childhood as an excuse for his actions&#8230;.were you watching the story of James Jones?  How about Ray Rice?  Maybe Michael Oher?  There are several more examples of &#8220;rough&#8221; childhoods in the NFL that have turned out some outstandingly great football players and warm the hearts of human beings.</p>
<p>During the plays it is the intention of every football player to play tough.  Noone, especially the football fans of the nation expect any of these players to go out and lay down for the other team.  However, sportsmanship does not include shoving a man&#8217;s head into the ground after the play or stomping on a person on the ground, whether it hurt the other player or not.</p>
<p>Even in the UFC or MMA fighting in general, they do not wish to be portrayed as neanderthals.  The train hard and use skill to beat the other man in combat.  How is it perceived if after a fight, the winner does not shake the hand of the loser and tell him it was hard fought?  Does the show of character and sportsmanship make the winning fighter a pansie?</p>
<p>How about when Tyson bit Holyfield?  How do we perceive Tyson now?  He was overmatched, he was going to lose, and he went to a cheap and taudry act to gain ground, or out of frustration?  Does this make what Suh did more or less dirty because he committed this act during a football game? </p>
<p>Is football more violent to you all then boxing or MMA?  It&#8217;s not okay to pull cheap shots after the bell in boxing, but it&#8217;s okay during a football game?  I am trying to understand the logic behind some of your posts.</p>
<p>I can understand an occassional loss of cool &#8211; being that it is a physical game, of course emotions will run high &#8211; and men have a tendency to react when they are shown up or feel embarassed.  So when Robison kicks Lang for being thrown on his back during a play, or when Woodson gut checks a guy because he felt he was being held to long, we (football fans) can partially accept it out of a frustration motivated action.  We expect the apologies which we receive and we move on.  If the following week Robison kicked another player in the junk, or Woodson threw punches to someone new, then it becomes a pattern and IMO is no longer partially acceptable.</p>
<p>Some of you will now assume that then if Suh is showing a pattern of behavior, what about James Harrison?  Harrison is making old school tackles on opposing players.  He isn&#8217;t stomping people after the whistle and lying about it later.</p>
<p>Tough, physical, in your face football &#8211; absolutely, bring it on!  Waiting until after the whistle to do harm, there is no place for it.  Suh should be suspended and Jim Schwartz, who quite obviously has anger issues of his own, should be investigated.</p>
<p>And for the record, Albert Haynesworth should not have been suspended for his actions, he should&#8217;ve been tossed from the NFL.  His actions were criminal.</p>
<p>Playing football in the NFL is a priviledge, not a right.  I think it may be high time for these players to be reminded of that fact.</p>

What Woodson did was wrong but he apologized and had no priors. 
Really????
Woodson blatantly sucked punched a guy twice. For no better reason than he thought he could get away with it. That is as dirty as it gets. You may not remember but Woodson does have priors. He was involved in more than one incident in Oakland. 
Suh was stupid, wrong and his post-game comments were horrid but the level of exaggeration of the incident in this post is staggering. It&#039;s almost like people are saying its not dirty and it&#039;s okay to kick someone in the balls or sucker punch the but a half hearted back stomp is just too much. Personally I would take Suh&#039;s stomp over the other two any day of the week. PS- both are dirtier than Suh&#039;s stomp.]]></description>

&quot;Suh is like Lawerance Phillips..a trouble making PUNK!&quot;

What an assinine comment. While I don&#039;t condone the obvious stomp, saying that Suh is like Phillips is a joke. What has he done off the field other that graduate from college, set up foundations to give back, and make large donations? He may be playing immaturely in his young NFL career (it is only his 2nd year), but to compare him to a convicted felon, who never did anything on the NFL field, or off it, is stupid.]]></description>
