Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was ejected from the Detroit Lions' game against the Green Bay Packers. Suh's Lions were trailing 24-0 late in the third quarter of the traditional Thanksgiving Day game. Get updates here. Suh—voted the dirtiest player in the NFL in a recent Sporting News poll of players—was called for unnecessary roughness after attempting to stomp on Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith, who was on the ground. The penalty came in the third quarter after a third-and-goal play for the Packers; the play was an incomplete pass and would likely have forced the Packers to try a field goal. It gave the Packers a new set of downs inside the 5-yard line, and they subsequently scored a touchdown to make it 14-0. Source: Sporting News
1 game w/paycheck. With a final warning. Anything like this happens again he's gone for a year. Goodell actually needs to snap this kid to attention. if you get fined for having "Too much blue, on your cleats" then this kid needs to be suspended.
Did you saw the crap Cower said during halftime? Schwartz has to take care of it, not Goodell. He shouldn't let him play, if he can't behave. Why not send him to bed w/o having desert too?
Haynesworth was suspended 5 games for stepping on the head of Andre Gurode. How long is Suh suspended?
Suspended rest of this season and the first 5 games of next season without pay. And fine him 50 thousand on top of that. This guy needs humbling. If he wont listen nicely slap the crap out of him with fines and suspensions. Lost balance my butt.
Stepping would indicate he accidently placed his foot on the guy. Suh stamped on him. I hate seeing suspensions, but yeah, he needs one.

2 or 3 games, with pay, and a hefty fine... Anything less than a 2 sit is a travesty. I normally hate all the fines and have defended Suh in the past, but this childish, "I lost my balance" excuse instead of owning up to what you did makes it worse. Suspend him the rest of the season is the most I'd sit him though... If I'm Detroit, I go to Goodell tell him that they want to issue the suspension.. Make one last stand to try and rein in this kid before you are forced to let him go.
He thinks he did nothing wrong!? Gotta be kidding me...the guy is delusional. He needs a reality check and nice suspension to set this guy's head straight.
