    I don't care if Suh is viewed as a dirty player, I'd love for him to stay in Detroit. He's not going to though, and next season fans of whatever team he decides to go to will be excited to have him, even if it was Green Bay. The NFL is full of woman beaters, child abusers, rapists, murderers, and cheaters on every level, but somehow Suh is among the most hated, and its simply because of his actions on the field. Off the field he's known as being an amazing personality, and charitable to the community. In the locker room, he's known as a leader. Yeah, he gets caught playing dirty from time to time, but you all can't sit there and act like your teams don't have its fair share of dirty players too. h---, Dallas basically put a bounty on Golden Tate "Within the rules" for this weekends game, because he blindsided Sean Lee last year. Revenge doesn't make it right, but even as a Lions fan I'm OK with it. Teammates should stick up for each other, and had someone stepped up to Suh on the field I'd be OK with that too, whether the step was intentional or not. We, as fans, b---- about the rules and gamepley when they don't benefit us, but love that 15 yard penalty when a player inadvertently touches our QBs helmet on 3rd and long.

    Barry Church saying he was going to get revenge for Lee being blind sided is hardly Dallas "putting a bounty on him" com'on now lol. How do you even know it's going to be dirty or not? He hasn't even done anything yet. He could deliver a perfectly clean hit on Tate for all we know.

    Agree with most of that. Like when a pitcher in MLB throws at the other teams best player in retaliation, everyone just says oh it's an unwritten rule. You have to protect your guys as a pitcher. I would welcome Suh to the niners, dirty or not.

    Not a bounty in terms of being rewarded, but for putting a target on Tate. The fact that its premeditated already makes it dirty, whether within the rules or not. Maybe something happens, maybe it doesn't, I really don't care either way, but the point I was making is that the lack of sportsmanship is everywhere in the league. Some players get a way with it, and some don't.

    Oh, and people upset because Suh didn't apologize to Rodgers when it happened? Really?

    How can it be considered dirty if it's within the rules? Players do that sub-consciously anyway. You see a player that talked s--- to you before or you felt hit you the wrong or did something to your teammate whatever, you're looking to get that person back. The only difference here is Church was vocal about it. I don't think he's going to seriously be trying to hit Tate every play, he's focused on the game itself first and foremost but if the oppurtunity presents itself, yeah he's going to take a shot. This is nothing like Suh kicking, stepping on, or whatever he does after plays. Those actions are completely unnecessary.

    Have a buddy who just moved to Chicago, says he's going for the first two days. Kind of jealous tbh I'd love to go to the very first day of draft and see all the top picks.

    Yeah I've never been there and with it being so close this year I have to go. Should be fun just to actually see and hang out with not just other niner fans, but all other fans in general.

    Every football player is dirty on some level lol.

    If they weren't, they wouldn't be in the NFL.

    I never faced off against someone who didn't "cheat"... I cheated too.

    Suh is just stupid for doing it in clear view of refs.

    Usually when things like this happens is at bottom of piles, or fumble recoveries.

    If anyone has played football, and has ever recovered a fumble, they know that you take a lot of dirty s--- in that pile.

    Camera angles and HD have definitely made it easier for officials to pick up on this stuff.

    I rarely watch college football but I would love the Eagles to draft that #9 WR from Ohio State (Devin Smith). Dude reminds me of a taller Desean Jackson.

    Sounds like Chip Kelly wasnt too happy wirh the firing of Gamble. I say SF should send Philly some draft picks for Kelly. Kaepernick is the perfect QB for Chips offense. I can dream right?

    Edit, chip gets personal power, smart move by the iggles.

    Don't know who I want to win this game tbh.... Kind of leaning more towards Carolina now because while Arizona knows Seattle better and has that defense to match them, I don't trust that offense with their 3rd string QB. Cam Newton as inconsistent as he is has that running threat, Carolina's running game has been very good for the past month and everyone seems to forget that just a year ago this defense was ranked 2nd in the league behind Seattle. They've also played outstanding for the past month.
