Get Started32 games but thanks.
It was exactly game 32 since he got 100 k fine against vikings week 1 last year
I thought it was game 33, but hey, who's counting?!
The arbitrator cannot assign guilty or innocence. The only determine whether the penalty was fair for what was determined.
Game 32 was week 16 of this season against the Bears.
At the conclusion of that game, he was removed from the repeat offenders list. Week 17 against Green Bay he was in the clear.... until he stepped on Rodgers, intentionally or not.
The NFL suspended him for 1 game based on his being a repeat offender. The Arbiter ruled that according to the CBA, he was not.
Yes, he could have come in and said aliens made him do it, and still gotten his suspension overturned.
The only person in this world who knows for fact what his intent was, is him. We can only speculate, as did the arbiter, and the NFL to begin with. The arbiter felt he did it intentionally, but that has no more validity in reality than my belief he didn't.
He's the only guy who knows for sure.
What evidence? That you don't like his answer?
First of all, a "source" within the NFL said he gave that answer. No one outside that room has actually heard the man himself say it, and the NFL has been pretty damned unreliable this last year, especially where "sources" are concerned.
Second, you're assumption is that because you find the excuse stupid, he must be lying. Sorry bro, but your opinion is a far cry from "evidence".
I honestly see it the exact opposite. IF he was going to lie to cover his ass, I would hope his PR people could come up with a better story than that. Something that makes people roll thier eyes and instantly call bullshit.. is usually the truth.
As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.
Not just me. You don't get a 70k fine on an accident..
Does anyone really believe the BS excuse my feet were numb, lol. People are rolling their eyes on his excuse.
How do fans still defend this guy? Most unlikeable athlete in Detroit that I can ever remember, maybe in all of sports.

Guarantee if it was against us some of you supporting Suh would be against the other player.
