Comments on: Suh not thrilled with reports of his 91-in-a-55 speeding ticket

I love the Suh defenders that say this speeding ticket isn’t a big deal. He was going 36 miles over the speed limit. Not 15. Not 20. 36 miles over. Considering he’s not a professional driver – and his previous history of crashing into stationary objects – one misjudgement on his part could kill himself and more importantly some innocent who happened to be in his way.

100% of the people that post on this site would NOT care about traffic violations if they had 20million in the bank.

The only reason I don’t drive 90 everywhere is because I can’t afford the tickets. He can. Plus, he’s in a vehicle that can handle at that speed. If you got the toys, play with him.

The ‘Suh Hate’ on this site is palpable…

Because of his status, this kind of scrutiny will not go away. The best thing he can do is not respond, Or at least say the right things. That doesn’t excuse the way the media is. They LOVE watching talented and noteworthy people self-destruct.

From what I read and what I observe in my own experience, 50% of drivers on 94 in Detroit do exactly what he did on a daily basis. That also doesn’t excuse what Suh did. He is held to a higher standard and should accept that soon, or at least learn how not to get caught speeding.

Never hated Detroit like I do the packers and bears. I’m not a big Suh fan.

I think he is dirty and tried to justify it with thought, “just playing to the whistle”.

However here I kind of read into the twitter thing. It sounded to me that someone (maybe ESPN) reported that he didn’t have insurance and that was driving the “hater” comment?

I love that the thread is twice as long as the article. I wonder more about people supporting him by saying they speed too or that you have to in Detroit. This was 90 in a 55???????

I also find it funny in our current society that these players think they can tweet something and not have it taken out of context. Golden rule with email at work… keep it brief and only facts cause people will read emotions into it. Anything else you better make a phone call……………..Why don’t these guys understand that twitter makes things worse.

Twitter should be for telling fans what your eating for dinner. Not trying to dispute a news article. Jeeze and people say Suh is smart – I don’t think so!

when multiple media outlets report on a traffic violation, which IS unprecedented in sports media, the use of the word “hate” in modern slang is absolutely appropriate and justified.

i think he’s a turd but I think you’re also trying to justify blogging about this, too

Since ive lived in Detroit and Oregon the last couple years, i would say this in Detroit you HAVE to drive fast or you will get ran off the road. In oregon the people drive like pansies with their little 55 mph speed zone . I got some tickets there because you get fed up of being stuck behind someone that hasnt experienced real city driving

In all fairness to Suh, he did call the “start of the engines” at the NASCAR Subway Fresh Fit 500 in Phoenix recently.

I hope the dude settles down at some point. With his driving adventures, you have to worry that he might becomes the next Jerome Brown (also was into driving fast).

Why won’t he just shut up… I don’t consider speeding tickets to be news, everyone gets one (except me?).

Suh speeding isn’t news….Suh stomping on other players isn’t news…Suh being a dirty player isn’t news…Suh continuing to think he does nothing wrong and NOT owning up to anything IS news…

Last year he crashed into a fire hydrant and then a tree and no report was filed because it was in inanimated objects’ fault. Now he’s ticket for doing what he actually got away with last year, he’s pissed. I guess does take the media placing him into that elite group of “untouchable” media darlings a bit to seriously, isn’t he.

If that was me going that fast , I’d get 2-5 in Jackson. Quit driving so fast and keep your azz on the field and out the joint. Reeeediculous. Calling for this guys head for this is retarded. Bad attempt at a story actually turned good for you mad hatters.

Well, I’m on the second week of a virus, my fever is up, and I’m annoyed at the world, so let me come onto PFT and rag on Ndamukong Suh for going 91 in a 55 zone because, heaven knows, I’m a lil angel who has never done such a vile thing in all my perfect lil life …

Give me a break! Guess all the church pews will be empty tomorrow since all the saints are on the football blog

It’s ok keep taking cheap shots at Suh. You’re becoming indistinguishable from MDS.
And, yes, if he actually did have his insurance papers and these outlets are failing at their jobs and reporting facts inaccurately then I can see how he would consider it hate. I sure wouldn’t want the same think to happen to me but then again I’m sure he’s used to it by now.

In Metro Detroit it’s pretty common for people to drive 90 mph on the freeways.

———

You’ve obviously never driven in Portland. 91 is not remotely normal. Not that no one ever does it, but it’s not normal. Your talk about Detriot doesn’t mean much when Portland is where Suh is from.

Suh is an accident waiting to happen. Another prime example of an NFL player who will throw his talent away and end up on the has been list.

The speeding says he hasn’t learned. His response on Twitter suggests that he may not have the necessary tools to learn.
