Stats section

Should we include a stats section for Mr. Suh? Swarley55 (talk) 22:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

A picture would be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.96.42.76 (talk) 05:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Academic pursuits of this Scholar-Athlete

Should not his earning a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, etc be pointed out ? — 69.20.198.44 (16:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)), — (continues after insertion below.)

Yes it should Thank You! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.106.168.45 (talk) 02:22, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

That underpins his donation of the funded scholarship to the NU College of Engineering, as well as his stated desire to work with his Father after football.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.20.198.44 (talk) 16:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

If this is so important to include, why does it keep getting reverted? Is there some edit war going on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.21.254.133 (talk) 04:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

WP:ENGVAR

This is a bit of a weird and nitpicking question, but when I read the personal section, I noticed a small issue. The article states Ndamukong's sister, Lennon Ngum Suh, plays for the "Cameroon women's national (association) football team". My question is, because the article deals explicitly with an American, and specifically an American who plays American football, should this be rephrased as the Cameroon women's national soccer team? My first instinct would be to say yes, but the reference to Cameroon makes it clear to anyone familiar with the country which game is being refered to. So, my best idea is to change the wording to qualify it is "association football", the official term for the game. Any ideas or suggestions? (yes, I know I'm meticulous) :) JakeH07 (talk) 22:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Not notable?

Recently an attempt was made by editors, myself being one of them, to include the fact that Ndamukong Suh was voted the “dirtiest player” in the NFL. These edits were deleted by another editor with the explanation that “its (sic) not notable at all”.

The voting results were from a poll conducted by the Sporting News, and these results have been further reported by many other reputable news agencies. (The particular source cited for its inclusion in this article was from an article by ESPN.) The poll was taken of active NFL players and Suh was the highest vote getter by a 4-to-1 margin. Of the vote the Detroit Free Press stated, rather dryly, that “This doesn't exactly come as a surprise…” Indeed, Suh’s style of play has received a great deal of national attention. A quick search of the net shows no lack of coverage and from a wide variety of sources. Additionally, this story clearly has legs. In a different article in the Detroit Free Press it was written, “This week's topic was an old one -- is NdamukongSuh a dirty player…”

But does this make it notable?

Well, one of the most prominent players in the most popular sport in the US is having his style of play discussed on national level and on a continuing basis, and in a poll taken of his peers in the game he was judged the “dirtiest player”. I fail to see how this can be dismissed as “not notable at all.” Hammersbach (talk) 03:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I came here to say, did he have a history of "over aggressive" play in college, for instance a pattern of penalties or ejections that drew attention? Something like that should be in this article. In answer to your question, I'm not sure about this particular poll (I would ask questions such as, in other years has this poll or this polling style/methodology consistently been corroborated by other objective measures, when applied to other players?) But I think this section of the article is beginning to need a heading or subheading of it's own, that would at least reflect the types of commentary and reporting that the sports media is engaging in. 96.224.42.141 (talk) 00:05, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

The entirety of his career should not be judged on the basis of a few unfortunate incidents, especially those that have occurred recently and thus may seem to be more significant due to their recent prominence in the news. That said, however, the fact that Suh has been fined and/or suspended for personal fouls several times throughout his relatively short professional career cannot be ignored. 66.234.204.13 (talk) 00:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Memory

I'm not very good at editing wikipedia, so here is my best attempt to add to this page: I read in this months GQ that Suh supposedly has a photographic memory (it was an interview with him and his sister), which i thought was interesting and salient due to the mental demands that memorizing football pays puts on you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.57.32.190 (talk) 19:55, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Kicking Matt Shaub in the groin

i don't see it on here but i just read up on the incident. --Stxk188 (talk) 15:08, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm gonna add a subsection since these incidents seem to be mounting. BTW, feel free to be bold and add to the article yourself in the future. Cheers, Chimino (talk) 11:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism?

"Ndamukong Suh (pronounced /ɨnˈdɑːməkɨn ˈsuː/ in-DOM-ə-kin SOO, born January 6, 1987) is a dirty American football defensive tackle..."

I believe that the word "dirty" in the first sentence is vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.137.78 (talk) 23:10, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

This is not vandalism. Suh's reputation as a "dirty player" is not disputed by anyone. It's like pointing out that Babe Ruth was overweight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.143.11 (talk) 22:46, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 December 2014

the word 'by' needs to replace 'in' in this sentence: "Suh has been criticized in the media, other players, the public and Lion's fans for his aggressive [2] [3] style of play and has been fined a total of $216,875 by the NFL for 4 violations thus far in his career." in order to make the sentence gramatically correct. 69.125.225.99 (talk) 18:23, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Not done: Sentence reads correctly. Why do you think it should be changed? — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 18:47, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

The prepositional phrase includes the other prepositional objects listed. Therebore, "in.... other players, in.... the public, and in... Lion's fans." It means something different than you'd think. MMetro (talk) 18:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

2014

The article needs an update for the 2014 season and his current status after the Lions declined to place the franchise tag on him. MMetro (talk) 18:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
