PLAYERS: Ndamukong Suh
TEAMS: Detroit Lions

Ndamukong Suh continues to plead ignorance in response to his reputation as a dirty player. The Lions defensive tackle spoke with ESPN’s Hannah Storm and laughed off the charges that he’s dirty.

“It’s funny to me. I don’t have issues of beating up people in bars. I know it’s not right. It doesn’t make sense to me. I think people try and make their own opinion and I think it’s a storyline,” Suh said of his reputation. “It’s a great storyline. I understood this year that a lot of people see me being a dirty player is a fun storyline to have and that’s what it is to me. It’s kind of comical to me keep saying something that really doesn’t have any substance behind it.”

Well Ndamukong, I used to defend you, but then you moved into the realm of indefensible after stomping Evan Dietrich-Smith during a game. No substance behind it? Just look at the picture above. You’re reputation isn’t changing anytime soon, and that’s the way it should be. You’ve done this to yourself, Suh.
