Talking Points: Not a good day for Suh

What’s the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:

So Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press, tell us how you really feel.

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you get kicked out for acting like an idiot.”

That’s the lead to Rosenberg’s column from Thursday’s Lions-Packers game in which Ndamukong Suh was ejected for what appears to be stomping on an opposing player.

Rosenberg continued: “The Lions lost a big game and a piece of their reputation, and they deserved to lose both. Bad, angry and stupid is no way to go through Thanksgiving, son.”

Much has been made of Suh’s style of play on the Lions defensive line. For a national audience to see it first hand didn’t sit well with those who cover the Lions.

Could you imagine a college football landscape without Ohio State vs. Michigan?

Or even here in the Pacific Northwest without an Apple Cup or Civil War each November.

Once a Thanksgiving tradition, Nebraska-Oklahoma is no more.

Thursday night, after 118 meetings, Texas vs. Texas A&M — separated by 108 miles — is falling off the rivalry map. The first game was 1894.

Even if you aren’t attached to one of the rivalries mentioned above, it’s truly sad to think these long traditions that fans look so forward to are vanishing for what is essentially a larger piece of pie.
