Coach should be suspended

Postby Littleware » Fri Dec 16, 2011 8:15 am

After reading the following clip, I understand even more of "what REALLY happened" in the Lion's Packers game that caused Suh to get suspended for two games. Here's the quote:

Was Ndamukong Suh's Thanksgiving outburst caused by a juvenile prank ordered by a Green Bay Packers coach? According to former Packers offensive lineman Matt Brock, that's exactly what happened.
Brock was being interviewed on KXTG in Portland, Ore., when he floated the theory that his former teammate, current offensive line coach James Campen, may have told Evan Dietrich-Smith to untie Ndamukong Suh's shoes during the game as a way of getting under the skin of the volatile Detroit Lions star.
[ Video: Don't expect Lions bad boy Ndamukong Suh to change his ways ]
This is the sort of tale that's best served straight from the horse's mouth, so here's a transcript of Brock's interview, courtesy MLive.com:
The center, or one of his guards, he's had like one or two starts in his career and he's got to play against Suh. So he's pretty puckered, right? So, he talking to James, the offensive line coach, going, "What do I do? What do I do?"
James is just in his mind going, "This guy is going to get killed. I got to take his mind off it, give him something else to do." So he says, "Ok, every time you're in a pile, I want you to focus on something. I want you to untie his shoes."
He goes, "What?"
"Anytime you can, just reach in, he's got floppy shoe laces, he doesn't spat or anything, just untie his shoes. It will irritate him."
He untied his shoes three times in the game. That's why he stomped him. That's why he banged his head on the ground and he stomped him. When (Suh) went to the sideline it looked like he was telling the coach, "I didn't do anything" and he put his foot up like, "I didn't stomp him. I didn't do anything." He was actually going, "The damn guy keeps untying my shoes."
That's a heck of a tale and it's just plausible enough to be true. Suh is so temperamental that you can see him getting aggravated by some scrub messing with his shoes. It's something that's easily checked, I suppose. All you'd have to do is go back and look at the game tape to see if Suh was bending over in between plays to tie his shoes."

Talk about a cheap shot?!? Even though the guy didn't throw a punch, it was cheap and unprofessional! Both player and coach from Green Bay should be suspended two games! However, I doubt the league officials will do anything but say "they were unaware, didn't see it" or "it's in the past"!

Walter Payton used to be quite a practical joker, including, on more than one occasion, reaching down and untying the referee's shoes.

The guys on local radio here still talk about it. It's well known that while Walter could dish out practical jokes, he was not a very good sport when he was the recipient. Once, the guys met him at a fund raising dinner, and they all got out of the car wearing Sayers jerseys. Walter didn't talk to them for the entire evening.
