Let's hope it's behind him after $100 mil.

Point is, perhaps we're more forgiving when the "thugs" are on our side. Either way, there's a good aggression that doesn't hurt anyone but kicks ass on the field. I sure love seeing Romo & TO getting the living snot smacked out of them..

ps. I miss Sean Taylor, what a freaking defense it could have been. sigh.

Well, I think there was a comment or two about AH's on the field and off the field issues as he was coming here. I think you're right that we tend to be forgiving of the overly aggressive players when they have on a Redskins uniform, I mean that's just natural. (Although, the funny thing that Suggs is not a Redskins, and my criticism of his overly aggressiveness has touched off some nerves in here apparently) I think (and hope) that AH's issues are behind him and well I think he got a lot of heat for the stomping incident.

In case anyone cares, T. Suggs has 12 personal foul penalties (i.e. unnecessary roughness, roughing the passer, etc., etc.). I think right now Adrian Wilson leads the league with 17. Still can't find a website with this info though, had to do a manual count.
