To say that Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has had a rough go of it lately would be a massive understatement. It all started on Thanksgiving Day. First he stomped (and yes, it was a stomp) on Dietrich-Smith’s arm, then he was suspended, yesterday his appeal of that suspension was denied, and this morning Suh crashed […]

The Colts’ on field performance really can’t get much worse this season, but at least they’re getting good off-field news. Peyton Manning’s neck is healing, and he’ll likely start to throw the football again soon. Dr. Watkins had this to say of Manning’s latest check-up (from Fox 59 in Indianapolis): “X-ray and CT examination of […]
