Out of Control

When I returned home from our family dinner Thanksgiving night, I went straight to my dictionary. I wanted to see if there was a picture with the definition of the word STUPID. I just knew there had to be. I was expecting to see the picture of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh next to the word, which means "low in intelligence" and "pointless." That is a pretty good description of Suh. He was ejected again during the team's Thanksgiving Day game with Green Bay after he slammed an opposing player's head to the ground, not once, but three times. He then stood and stomped on the opposing player's bare arm. Suh just does not understand how to behave. He has as many personal fouls as any player in football. He has been fined multiple times. He just has not learned how to play the game within the rules. I read an article today that quoted a former college teammate as saying Suh was not well liked in college. Oh really. I wonder why? Do you suppose it might have something to do with the fact that he has no class? The guy even tried to defend himself following the game. He might have muttered a weak apology but he was not remorseful. National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell is a no-nonsense guy and will take care of this matter. There will be a suspension and a heavy fine. It had better be real heavy because the others have not phased Suh. The sad thing is there are some great young men out there who have worked hard for an opportunity to play this great game. And for whatever reason, they did not get a chance to play in the big leagues. Suh did. He has been given many chances. Far too many. He does not respect the game or the people associated with it. This should be his last chance - after a lengthy suspension and astronomical fine. The next time it happens, he should be banned for life. Today's Winning Thought: Ndamukong Suh is out of control. His behavior cannot be tolerated a minute longer. If he is not careful, he is going to find out the NFL means Not For Long.
