The SUH Interview.

they will be pushing him that much harder to see if they can get him to crack (on the field, more than anything.) I sure hope he is ready to handle himself.

No comment.

How can people want an apology to him??
That’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard regarding this.
Did these people see the play??
Was Dietrich-Smith even injured??
It is very well known the Packers were instructed to get under Suh’s skin and attempt to get a reaction. With all that dirty, illegal shit Smith pulled on that play in a blatantly obvious attempt to get Suh to react and these idiots want a freakin’ apology?? Screw that. Maybe Suh should apologize, but most certainly not to that guy. That was his plan for crying out loud.

“I’m sorry your illegal play got the reaction you were hoping for.”
Ridiculous.
Damn that’s got me all worked up. I’m glad Suh ignored that question. It doesn’t deserve a response. Maybe next press conference Suh just shouldn’t take any questions from that guy.

It’s like teasing a pit-bull and then demanding an apology when you get bit.

how does a

a real NY Douche bag

Is it that we have more teeth or a higher intellect?

How can they say he cut the interview short, he did the full 10 minutes. If I were a Lions player, you wouldn’t catch me dead talking to Mike Valenti or Terry Foster….

it’s fully in his rights to say as little about it as he wants. And I do respect him wanting to keep most of it in-house. As for the hosts… yeah, they just want a story. They are owed exactly shit by Ndamukong. They failed in their attempt to stir the pot further… even though I think they were fine asking the questions initially. At the point they realized he wasn’t giving them anything, they should have moved to different topic… like the game against Oakland. They chose to get pissed because they failed. Big deal. If anyone with any objectivity can look at this and truly say that Suh “tarnished” his rep further by not succumbing to prodding radio hosts, they are a boob.

What an asshole, where he won’t even answer the easiest of cupcake questions thrown his way.

I’m not surprised in the least.

Maybe he was told by JS and the Lions that this is now an in house matter and you are not to divulge any info to the media. Even JS wasnt saying much about the whole situation.

Also, I dont blame him for not wanting to answer the questions at all. The event was two weeks ago and there are bigger things coming up this weekend like beating the Raiders to get to 9-5. I dont care if he tells a reporter to F-off as long as his on the field actions help the team from here on in. Lets remember he is paid to be a football player…not to boost the ratings of some individual radio show.

If I were the guy doing the interview knowing full well what has gone on the last few weeks I would have sent him or his PR staff a list of questions before hand to find out what he was willing and wanting to talk about. Thats how you get a good interview.

Who ever hooked him up to talk to these 2 jerk off’s should be fired, I never heard 2 bigger jerk off’s than these 2. They kept saying there asking the questions the fans what to know. I don’t want to know any of those questions they were asking, those to fuck heads shouldn’t be even on radio.

I hope to God fans called in a ripped them a new asshole…

If anything Suh should be getting support from local TV and local radio, not asked questions any moron can tell he doesn’t want to talk about…

they can go jump off of a cliff. He conducted himself professionally and I’m glad he handled this interview the way he did. These guys were trying to get a sound byte, and Suh was trying to focus on the team and those two chumps were not asking the questions that had to be asked. Suh made the mistake of being selfish on Thanksgiving, and now he’s trying to not make it a Terrell Owens type issue.

Suh was the bigger man in this instance and it just proved what I knew all along…Valenti is a tool and shouldn’t be on the air.

Im glad he cut it short.

Regardless of whatever he’s gone through the last couple weeks I hope this makes him hungry and out to prove he’s dominate not dirty.

Right now he can’t seem to do anything right off it.

Right up to the point Valenti comes on the air. I cant stand that retard yelling over everyone for four hours. No thanks.

He kept asking him the same questions over and over to get him to try and say something when he obviously didn’t want to talk about it. This is the first time I’ve ever listened to an interview from this guy and definitely the last.

This shit has to get on the players’ nerves. I wonder if other teams’ plarqwyers and coaches get badgered over the radio, or if they just ask questions, accept answers, and keep it movin’.

Could this possibly have a psychological effect on players when it comes time for them to get a new contract. For guys like CJ, for example, when he used to get harrassed for losing on a weekly basis. It just doesn’t seem like supportive networking to me.

I’m sure a lot of people want these players to be held accountable for their actions, as do i. But, I don’t see local interviews as a place for this to come from, unless it’s something the player is comfortable addressing. I just don’t see what it accomplishes. It’s not a gain to the Lions’ players or the organization.

As for being held accountable, that isn’t accomplished by answering interview questions. They should feel priveledged to have the opportunity to get into the minds of the Lions’ players and coaches. Something, that they don’t deserve.

It happened, he agreed to do an interview. What did he think they were going to ask him about?

James Harrison didn’t seem to have a hissy fit on air when asked about his suspension and if he plans on changing the way he plays.

I heard the audio it wasn’t going overboard to ask nor how it was asked. Suh seems to have an attitude off the field as well (“I want to be a star on MY terms”). It is giving me some flashbacks of Charlie Batch after his rookie year was over and they gave him more money.

Very humble. And he isn’t being that.

He politely said he wasn’t going to get into private business, multiple times. Valenti kept pushing and pushing, and what he was doing was no better than when Rob Parker asked Marinelli about his daughter and son-in-law.

However, all I heard in this interview is Suh channeling Schwartz, which I think is great.

He doesn’t owe anyone an apology. He served the ordained time that the league decided was applicable to his ‘crime’ or whatever. Case closed. Move the fuck on.

Freddie Coleman was going on and on about how this was a huge mistake for Suh, not answering questions, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Coleman then played the last minute or two of the interview. I appreciated Suh saying that he would respond to goading and guys trying to react by “killing them with kindness and making plays at their expense”. That is exactly how I think he needs to react. Beat them on the field of play, rather than getting caught retaliating after the whistle stops.

Not only is Valenti a tool, but then this story goes national, with good o’l Freddie saying this was another black mark against Suh and that it appears he once again is hurting his image by not answering the medias questions, etc.
