Suspended

I heard some interesting thoughts on sports radio today:

1. If the incident would not have been on Thanksgiving and/or national television but instead just a regular 1:00pm Sunday afternoon game, would that have changed things?

2. If he would have owned it right from the beginning instead of the denial, same penalty?

3. If it was any other player in the league and/or without the "dirty" player reputation, same suspension?

1. I think the incident would have been replayed so much after a normal game it would have made little difference.

2. The denial makes him look stupid, but I don't think it changed the outcome.

3. It seems like Suh's reputation, or more specifically past discipline, had a major impact on the fine. If he didn't have all these fines for other incidents this one would have been less.
