It’s always a tradition for the Detroit Lions to play on Thanksgiving Day and this year they were scheduled to play the Green Bay Packers. It was nearly a blow out for Green Bay Packers besides the last couple plays toward the end of the game when the Packers sat out their starters while Detroit scored to make the ending score closer than it actually was. This was beside the point, and was far from the highlight of the game. What everyone was talking about afterward was the unsportsmanlike conduct call on Ndamukong Suh. Suh was ejected from the game when he was shoving a Packers player helmet into the ground then when he was being pulled away from the situating he stomped on the player arm while he was on the ground. A fine and a suspension will follow this incident but what will this mean for the already struggling Detroit Lions. Suh is the cornerstone and poster boy for their team and their was no excuse for his behavior, or was their? There seems to be a reoccurring theme with the Lions this season and that is erratic and violent behavior not only by the players but the head coach as well. It seems that the teams frustration is taken out by acting in immature manners and seems that it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. If they are going for the vintage Detroit bad boys image it seems to be working, not only by their manners on the football field but by the win column as well.
