After being helped to his feet, Ndamukong Suh had a sudden and momentary case of vertigo. |
The NFL has decided that they do not believe the Thanksgiving Day resuscitation efforts of the Detroit Lions' Ndamukong Suh and have suspended the defensive tackle for two games.
Suh, who has not yet been reached for comment, is expected to appeal the suspension due to, as one teammate put it, "he don't think he did anything wrong". And yes, most anyone can clearly see that Suh was simply shoving the head of Green Bay offensive lineman, Evan Dietrich-Smith to ensure that he would not become unresponsive. I'm not certified myself, but I too always thought that that was the first step you take when performing CPR. Prior to the decision, Commissioner Roger Goodell had received an apology phone call from last season's rookie of the year, but instead, it was more like pleading his case to a jury. According to reports, Ndamukong Suh repeatedly said to Goodell things like, "his eyes were rollin' back in his head", "hindsight, I might've panicked" and "I was so disoriented when I got up, I lost my footing".
It's just unfortunate that a story that believable warrants a 2-game suspension.
