09:28 AM ET 12.04 | If Ndamukong Suh has been slow to apologize to Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith for his infamous stomp, there is a reason for it. According to a source from the Suh camp, the Packers were goading Suh, and there were more than 15 instances in the game in which a Packers blocker either grabbed his facemask, gave him a shot to the face or held him around his neck. Those instances were undoubtedly pointed out to NFL official Art Shell, who heard and rejected Suh's appeal last week.

Whether he was goaded or not is irrelevant. He lost control when he stomped the Pack's lineman. He should be thankful that his suspension is only for two games.

This happens on every play. What a bunch of b.s. Yes, Stuart, I agree. Thought he would get 3 games.

Absolutely. If I were a coach about to face the Lions you can bet I'd have my guys trying to push his buttons on every snap, too.

I think we've found Mr. Suh's achilles heal.

Ask the fire hydrant he hit last night....pure taunting....

Uh oh. Now Jolly Roger is going to try to change the rules to penalize teams for "goading" the opposition. It's going to be like elementary school, with sensitivity training for 8-year-olds and detention for making someone else feel bad.

Hey, lets make the Pro Bowl game 6 hours long so everyone can play and get a trophy. Wouldn't that be nice? Works in youth soccer.

My favorite line from Major league to taunt a player...."How's your wife and my kids?"....

I'll just bet that tree was goading Suh too, and the tree never got the penalty.

"a source from the Suh camp"
Would that be the same camp that said he was just trying to get his balance and was not stomping a a guy on the ground?

The sad part is he is driving around in the early morning hours in a 70 chevy and he loses control. Supposedly clean and sober. He can be replaced, but there are only so many of those cars left.
Glad to see he is using his suspension time to better himself. What a maroon.

The more I watch him the more I think this is another case of a million dollar talent and a five cent head. He'll need a separate jet to carry all his baggage by the end of his career.

I still say, someone will take Suh out, not a career threating injury, but one that will keep him out for a year. I have watched not only this video, but several othe videos and the guy is a dirty player that will someday get his just due!!!!

That camp needs to stop throwing those funny weeds on the camp fire.
