The worst part for me was after having half the nation watch it on national TV over Thanksgiving Suh tried to deny it saying he was just trying to keep his balance. I think the suspension is fair based on his previous instances on the field this year.
Anyone see Bob Costas last week after a game when he spoke about how he is growing tired of the unsportsmanlike behavior in the NFL and how he misses players like Barry Sanders who after scoring on a great touch down run he would simply hand the ball to the ref and quietly jog back to his team's side line? Costas talked about one player last week who's name I forget
that scored a touchdown late in the game which helped put his team in the lead and then went through this whole routine that included his imitation of Plexico Burress (who was on the opposing team) shooting himself in the leg . After several seconds the refs flagged him for either delay of game or unsportsmanlike behavior. This met his team had to kick off deeper then normal which in turn helped the opposing team get better field position and made it easier for them to go down and get the winning score before time expired.
Costas said he hoped some coaches would start cracking down on this poor behavior which has become common place in the NFL and other sports. It is now common to see a player make an average play at best but still do some type of look at me theatrics. Makes me miss the days of Lombardi when players acted like professionals as opposed to spoiled children starved for attention acting out on the play ground.
I've been a Packer fan my entire life and even I think the Lambeau Leap pushes the envelope for what constitues
unsportsmanlike behavior. The one good thing about the Lambeau Leap is it is something that allows the fans to get involved and closer to the players.
