Ndamukong Suh

Ndamukong Suh is a defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions and he is the scum of the earth.

He has been repeatedly involved in situations in the NFL where he has been fined for overly aggressive play designed to hurt other players, and that is putting it nicely. What he has been really doing is going out of his way to brutalize other players..

The NFL has fined him upwards of $160,000 for these incidents, the last time being the most costly - $100,000 - the highest in NFL history - and it is meaningless. That is pocket change for this chump and it is merely a gesture on the part of the NFL.

The guy has a $9.25 million contract. You want to hurt him? Fine him $9 million.

The most infamous incident was one where he repeatedly banged another player's head into the turf and then got up and stepped on his hand.

He should have been banned from football at that point.

I don't have to prove to you this man is scum. The evidence is right before your eyes. YouTube this jerk. He is a maniac.

What I am even more pissed about is the ball-less way his teammates, former players and sportswriters talk about him.

I was indulging my addiction, the NFL network, and listening to a discussion of whether or not Suh should be considered a dirty player.

A teammate of his said he wouldn't call him dirty, he would call him nasty. He said he meant nasty in a good way. He called Suh a competitor and said that sometimes what he does fires up the team.

Of course part of the deal here is the spineless code of ethics adhered to in sports that says you don't publicly criticize a teammate.

I get that, but not when your teammate is a psycho hose beast who explodes in anger and deliberately hurts other players. In that case his teammates should be saying "This guy is a lunatic, he is dangerous and he should be run out of the league."

Maybe they are afraid of him.

An former player, now a commentator, on the program went out of his way to raise the question of whether Suh was being singled out for punishment or whether the NFL was establishing a consistent policy that could be applied in every violent situation like this.

In other words he refused to admit that Suh is a dangerous man who is not good for the game and should be publicly executed.

Refused to admit it because he is a former player who allows his skewed loyalties to override what his brain is telling him, which is that what this man is doing is not good for the players or the sport.

A sports writer on the show went a little further, repeatedly highlighting the fact that the $100K fine is based on prior violent history. He hinted at the fact that Suh is not being singled out but that he deserves exorbitant fines because he keeps repeating this brutal and unacceptable behavior.

But even he would not come out and call Suh a dirty player.

Apparently he wants to protect his locker room access.

All of this cowardice exposes a dark side of the NFL. Violence is part of the game and even deliberately hurting other players is tolerated, maybe even celebrated.

I don't get this because they are all in the same boat. But then again they didn't graduate college because of their intelligence.

The irony is that football players project tough guy images. They are celebrated as The Ultimate Man. The toughest of the tough.

But when it comes down to exposing a vicious truth, they shy away like ball-less wimps.

Ndamukong Suh is a piece of crap. He deserves to be banned from the league.

What will probably happen is that he will end up signing an endorsement deal with Pampers, which will prove to the public what a gentle lamb he really is.

Until he bites some guy's ear off and turns to face the camera as he calmly chews and swallows the thing like he is eating a wholesome snack designed to replenish electrolytes.

Goddamn it I love football but I despise hypocrisy.
