Lions Notes: More On Ndamukong Suh's Car Accident

Print- Jahvid Best has been cleared for physical activity (which in this case is a simple workout). This comes a week after he was put on IR, which was decided on after Best met with five specialists, who advised him to sit out the rest of the season.
- If Jeff Backus starts on Sunday night, he will break Dick LeBeau's record for the most consecutive starts in Lions history.
- Portland Police Bureau Sgt. Peter Simpson used the word stomped in describing Ndamukong Suh's car accident.
"He wasn’t drunk and wasn’t driving crazy or anything. He wasn’t a jerk. I think he stomped on the gas when he was going around a taxi and lost the back end, spun around and hit a tree and a light pole and a (drinking) fountain."
Pun intended, right? - An eyewitness to Suh's crash gave a recap of what happened, and this line stood out to me: "Suh watched too much 'Dukes of Hazzard' as a boy." Based on the pictures of the car, that seems like an accurate statement.
- Suh and Calvin Johnson are still leading their positions in Pro Bowl voting. In fact, Johnson is still third overall in total votes (behind Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady). Matthew Stafford, Jeff Backus, Dominic Raiola and Chris Houston are in the top five for voting at their respective positions. Houston is actually second at cornerback behind Charles Woodson. (Via Dave Birkett)
- Business Insider had an interesting take on Suh's suspension by looking at the equivalent to it in other sports leagues.
- Kyle Vanden Bosch was not fined for his hit on Aaron Rodgers on Thanksgiving that drew a flag for roughing the passer.
- Cliff Avril has been working on finishing his degree at Purdue and is on track to graduate later this month.
- Tony Scheffler received an apology from Bob Costas in the wake of Costas' rant on celebrations that included video of one of Scheffler's end zone dances from earlier this season.
- In news that won't surprise anyone, Charles Rogers hasn't changed one bit.
- Saints quarterback Drew Brees is well on his way to breaking some passing records this year.
- The Lions have the second toughest remaining schedule in the NFL.
- I know Lions losses can be upsetting, but do not punch your girlfriend because you're upset like somebody named Michael Ottman did last week.

Check out that dudes mugshot
It might be mullet, but something tells me he would’ve beat her anyway without the Lions loss as provocation
We didn't lose the games, we just ran out of time -- Bobby Layne
ugh... what a shame to have those wheels on such a fine car.
SS Camaro it looks like to me.

I liked big wheels for a month or two, just because it was different.
Quickly came to my senses. Torque thrusts, Rallyes, Cragars, any of those would be way better than 22s or whatever those are.
That goddamn Okra and beans got you Oprah in jeans. Seems to me a little lean cuisine, wouldn't hurt much- Agh don't touch! -Obie Trice

This just in
ESPN is going to dedicate a whole E:60 to the Suh thugary going back to when he was a 6 yr old and said bad things to another kid while standing in line at the lunch counter. It will clearly show that Suh is the most evil man in the world and as a relaxing exersize on the side plucks wings from flies. There conclusion is that Suh needs to be frozen and loaded into a giant BigBoy and shot into space where he can’t harm another living creature.

Good for you Mr Avril! Get that degree!
You never know what will happen in the NFL, so you want to ensure you have something to do for the rest of your life. I wish all athletes were smart enough to think like this.

How bout that... McCluster shows up to play this week! (FF, that is)

I don't like seeing any NYC team win, but I don't want the Packers to win either.
I want to see them get hurt by the Giants. Let them feel some pain for a change.
No slogans. Just win!!!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Denver has all the points they'll need with the one TD.
Fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.
hahahahah
Orton’s first play against his former team and he gets hurt. Broken finger most likley. WOW
The boys are back in town!
I thought I saw a bend in that finger that didn't belong
Fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.
Could someone explain to me how none of the coaches havelooked at the probabilities
of big plays when kicking to Hester? Why would anyone do it unless you KNEW he’d have fair catch it (short punt)?? Dumbest thing in football to happen regularly.
The boys are back in town!
It's probably why special teams coaches are special teams coaches
Too much ego thinking they have the team to shut him down instead of the brain to just kick it out of bounds.
Fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.
Because punting is not as easy as you think.
It’s easy to say “just punt it out of bounds!” if you don’t realize the outcome is almost as bad as kicking it to Hester.
No slogans. Just win!!!
I love Chris Conte!!!
Falco for MVP!

Interesting thing about Matt Forte's knee injury
Jason laconfora is reporting that it may be an ACL tear, and if it is, he is likely out for the season. That would mean the Bears are likely to fall out of the wild card picture, greatly increasing the Lions chances regardless of what happens in this Sunday’s game.
Ndamukong Suh - Bringing 50's football back to Motown!
Frankly, I hope it's not that bad for Forte's sake.
The guy has been a real gamer, playing his heart out even though the Bears management is screwing him over on his contract.
