The NFL fined Ndamukong Suh on Wednesday for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden during Sunday's game. The Detroit Lions defensive tackle was fined $31,500, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The team's official website first reported the news.

He gave a worse hit to jay cutler a few weeks ago.basically gave him the flying elbow smash on a tackle,and got by with it.
The almighty Benjamin prevails. He and his goon squad are probably putting together the language for the NFL's fine structure for organizations, coaches and players openly criticizing Thursday games. Headline fixed.
Well, merton hanks, who levies the fines for the league, has flat out admitted it wasnt a horrible hit and that he felt he just needed to send a message to suh. Suh might actually win this appeal.
Suh hasn't received enough messages? I can save Hanks some time and let him know that Suh doesn't give a crap about his messages.
Send a message to Suh that he's not allowed to hit anyone, clean (which is rare) or not? That's just another example of how sad the NFL has become.
Agree with the sentiment here. More about the NFL reacting to Suh's indifference to the fines. Now he's getting attention just cuz 'they don't like him'.
