[QUOTE="TJV, post: 590096, member: 4300"] I don’t think he disgraced himself more than ever before because it wasn’t as blatantly obvious as most of his other temper tantrums – the stomp of EDS, kicking a QB in the nuts, and slamming an OL's head into the ground several times, for example. I believe this is his eighth fine for this kind of behavior (and of course he came into the league in 2010). Two and half seasons into his NFL career he was voted the dirtiest player in the league in a Sporting News poll by those who would know best – other NFL players. That’s what made the one-game suspension ridiculous and his winning the appeal even more so. Perhaps the only thing that has a chance of getting through his thick skull is multiple game suspensions. He’s already been suspended for two games, IMO this one should have cost him 4 games. And he should have been warned the next one will be 8, then a full season and then lifetime ban. Perhaps losing one-quarter of his annual compensation would wake him the hell up. (BTW, I think all NFL fines should be based upon game checks, whether or not the player is actually suspended. The impact of a $70,000 fine on a player making $500K a season is obviously different than it would be on one making $5M. If the NFL wanted to be even more precise, they could use a percentage of the player’s cap hit since that would incorporate signing bonuses.) But let’s not fool ourselves, unfortunately Suh will get a huge FA contract because of his talent and unfortunately talent wins over character in the NFL. Even a few Packers fans would probably drool over having him line up for Green Bay, even after last Sunday. [/QUOTE]
