PFT: Suh's ex-teammate says Lion's 'out of control'

Detroit Lions v Miami DolphinsGetty Images

Criticism of Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is coming from all corners, including a college teammate of Suh?s who says it?s time for a suspension.

Jets guard Matt Slauson, who played with Suh at Nebraska, told Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post that the NFL should suspend Suh because fines haven?t curtailed his on-field misbehavior and, Slauson says, ?he?s out of control.?

?Somebody needs to get him under control, because he?s trying to hurt people,? Slauson said. ?It?s one thing to be an incredibly physical player and a tenacious player, but it?s another thing to set out to end that guy?s career.?

Suh and Slauson lined up against each other in practice, and Nebraska practices frequently featured problems related to Suh?s temper getting the best of him, Slauson told Hubbuch.

Although Suh was one of the best defensive tackles in college football history ? being named Associated Press College Football Player of the Year and winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy in addition to being a finalist for the Heisman Trophy ? Slauson says his teammates didn?t like him. And he says people at Nebraska like Suh even less now that he?s making the football program look bad with his tactics in the NFL, including stepping on an opponent on Thanksgiving, resulting in an ejection.

This isn?t the first time Slauson has indicated he didn?t particularly enjoy being Suh?s teammate. Asked about the then-rookie for the Lions a year ago, Slauson said, ?I wouldn?t say me and Suh were best friends. There were times we got in fights during spring ball, during camp. Emotions go, you get tired and Suh just happened to be the guy I was going against.?

It seems that pretty much everyone is fed up with Suh right now. The next question is whether Roger Goodell is so fed up that Suh is suspended.

Small Business Saturday In New York: A Primer And A Guide

Mayor Bloomberg in collaboration with American Express started Small Business Saturday last year to spur sales for local shops that weren't retail monsters like Walmart or Target. And this year more stores are taking part in the incentive as New Yorkers emerge from their turkey coma to buy more stuff -- but not get crushed in the process.

Paper magazine recently teamed up with AmEx to produce an incredible guide for New Yorkers of all boroughs to have on hand for the second annual Saturday shopathon. (READ IT HERE). Some of their highlights, and ours, below:

Brooklyn Wine Exchange
Home to really knowledgable and friendly wine people, the BWE is a place where you can bug experts about anything and they'll talk your ear off with their boozey brilliance (in a good way).
