On Wednesday, the Lions' defensive tackle cut short his weekly radio spot on WXYT-FM when a conversation about culpability took a confrontational turn.

Suh spent the majority of the interview side-stepping questions about fallout from his Thanksgiving stomping incident, insisting he was moving forward. He also declined to speak about his recent car accident, saying he didn't want to discuss his personal life.

When exasperated co-host Mike Valenti told Suh he didn't know what else to ask because he wasn't "getting a whole lot," Suh snapped back.

"You're not getting a lot because of the questions that you're asking," Suh said.

Things regressed from that point, with Suh terminating the conversation soon thereafter.

Suh seems aware -- but not particularly bothered -- by the negative attention he's garnered.

"It's not going to make me cry at night," he said.

He made his mind up that he wasn't going to talk about that stuff, and that's just what he did. He didn't talk about it. On the one hand I can see his point. He doesn't have to explain himself to anyone, and he doesn't have to give the answers people wanna hear simply because they wanna hear something specific. BUT. On the other hand, he DOES have to give some reassurances that he plans to alter his course if he wants to repair his image. And it's pretty important that he acknowledges that he hurts his team in these cases, but he doesn't do that either.

So, that begs the question. Does he give a shit about his image? He knows what he does in the community, for his family, his alma mater, and he obviously has a big heart. Maybe he thinks that's really what's important, and his flipping out in football games doesn't define him. He really should smarten up a little though, because as the interviewer said, players are going to target him now and try to get him to take himself out of the game.

He hasnt said anything about that? At all? If your his agent isnt that something you should encourage him to do?

His job is to smash QBs. Doing that gets him bad press too. I wish we had him on our D-line.

His job is to play within the rules, if he cannot do that then he does more harm than good.
