Suh’s Shoes Set Him Off On Thanksgiving?

Ndamukong Suh’s recent stomping tantrum on Turkey Day may have been provoked by a childish prank?  Former Packers OL Matt Brock says that would be likely the cause.

From MLive.com:

The center, or one of his guards, he’s had like one or two starts in his career and he’s got to play against Suh. So he’s pretty puckered, right? So, he talking to James, the offensive line coach, going, “What do I do? What do I do?”
James is just in his mind going, “This guy is going to get killed. I got to take his mind off it, give him something else to do.” So he says, “Ok, every time you’re in a pile, I want you to focus on something. I want you to untie his shoes.”
He goes, “What?”
“Anytime you can, just reach in, he’s got floppy shoe laces, he doesn’t spat or anything, just untie his shoes. It will irritate him.”
He untied his shoes three times in the game. That’s why he stomped him. That’s why he banged his head on the ground and he stomped him. When (Suh) went to the sideline it looked like he was telling the coach, “I didn’t do anything” and he put his foot up like, “I didn’t stomp him. I didn’t do anything.” He was actually going, “The damn guy keeps untying my shoes.”

Now if that is the case, it seems awfully easy to get the boy named Suh upset.  Did the prank warrant a stomp?  I think not, but in the end the prank did do the trick, the Packers got Suh off his game, hell they got him kicked out of the game (or rather stomped out of the game).

Pitt Fan Reaction To Todd Graham’s Departure-”Snakes on a Plane”

Here is some backlash from http://www.pittscriptblog.com/, a website in Pittsburgh that covers everything around the university after Todd Graham’s departure.

They are taking shots at their former coach, which I guess you can’t blame due to the circumstances.

Per www.pittscriptblog.com

Lastly, we were able to get a hold of Todd Graham’s prepared notes for his Arizona State press conference earlier today and were shocked…

I want to have my family come up. [Introduce family]. [Ramble on about importance of family].

I can’t tell you how exciting it is to be a part of a dynamic leadership, meeting [President/Chancellor] and [Athletic Director].

It’s such an honor for me to be sitting here and taking over the program that [Previous Coach] built.  This is a dream come true, walking through the halls of [stadium name].  I’m excited.  I’m excited where this program is.  I’m excited about the future.

How will we play [Offense/Defense]?  How about let’s play it like [Famous Former Players] played it.  That’s how we’re going to do it.What’s it going to look like?  Well, obviously our offense is going to be high octane, it’s going to be quick striking, explosive.  Our whole deal is about explosive plays.  I like to see a ball thrown down the field.  People want to come and they want to watch games and I don’t want you sitting in your seat.  I want you standing up at [stadium name], and how you do that is you have explosive plays. [Ramble on somemore. Mention "high octane" 3 times, "explosive" atleast twice].

Our goals as a program is that we are going to first and foremost bring out the best in every single person’s character that’s involved in our program.  I believe that that is the key component to winning and winning every day.  [Ramble on about character and integrity].  That’s what our program is all about, and the “[School Name] Way” is what you’ll hear me talking about a lot, and that speaks to our goals as a program.

I think perception is reality, and we start the perception today that we’re going to build a championship program.  We’re going to win [Conference Name] championships, we are going to win [BCS Bowl] championships and ultimately the National Championship.

Don’t believe me?  Watch the Arizona State press conference here and the Pitt press conference here.
