No apologies from Lions' Ndamukong Suh; Tiger rookies in race for honor and more links
Associated Press
Suh's reaction is along the line of, "What? Me?"
In a preseason game on Saturday, Suh reached Cleveland quarterback Jake Delhomme and caught him by the face mask. Delhomme dropped the ball and turned, and Suh grabbed him by the head and neck and threw him to the ground. Suh and the Lions were penalized on the play.
Browns backup quarterback Seneca Wallace said Suh should be suspended for the play, MLive.com reported.
"He already face masked him, then he grabs him by the neck, twists it and throws him down,'' Wallace told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "To me, I think I understand the face mask part, but he horse collared him and threw him down. We laughed about it, but that stuff can get people really hurt.''
Suh said: "That's unfortunate. That's his opinion, which he's entitled to. I mean, I just want to go out there and play hard. That's my main focus.''
