I kind of thought one of the purposes of defense was to take down the man with the ball. If you don't want to risk being hit, don't step on the field.
Ndamukong Suh won't change style

Allen Park -- You want to steal from Ndamukong Suh's wallet?
Fine. Go ahead.
But don't expect him to be happy about it. And don't expect him to start carrying a purse, either.
"A fine is a fine," the Lions' All-Pro defensive tackle said Wednesday, not long after he found out he'd been docked $20,000 by the NFL for his hit on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton in the exhibition season opener. "And I can't do anything about that. It's not my decision. It's something I have to deal with."
But so will the rest of the league. If Wednesday's fine from the league office was intended to send a message, as Suh's teammates were quick to suggest — "20,000? In the preseason?" receiver Nate Burleson said — that's the reply the authorities got, in 140 characters or less.
"I'm not necessarily happy with everything," said Suh, who made that clear when he took to Twitter to effectively announce the fine, writing, "$20,000 Really???" followed by 108 exclamation points — no, really, I counted — and NFL and BIGFAIL hashtags.
So, no, he's not happy about it. And, no, he's not going to pay this parking ticket without first contesting the charges.
"Am I gonna appeal it?" Suh asked. "Who wouldn't? That's my motto."
Actually, as a Nike ad pitchman, the latest motto is: "Be the hammer or the nail." And clearly, Suh intends on being the former, no matter how many times he gets nailed for violence the new-and-improved NFL deems unnecessary or excessive.
"I'm not going to stop playing hard," Suh said Wednesday, reiterating comments he made Sunday. "I owe it to my teammates, I owe it to the coaches, and I owe it to the fans, first and foremost. That's the reason why they watch the game. It's one of the reasons football is football, because it's physical contact, aggression that makes it exciting."...

"MY NAME IS SUH, HOW DO YOU DO? NOW YOU GONNA DIE!"

due to Hurricane Irene, Giants/Jets preseason game has been moved from saturday to monday night.

Seems like a bit of an overreaction to something Ochocinco didn't say but whatever..

Sounds like Bruschi roid rage to me. Makes no sense at all.

actually i believe ESPN told him to 'make news' in the way skip bayless,trent dilfer,herm edwards, and the idiotic colin cowherd on a daily basis.

Yeah, he did seem like he was trying to pump himself up to be angry about something.
