TMZ caught all the action on film
Ndamukong Suh has built a reputation around the NFL of being a guy who plays dirty and goes out and tries to hurt opposing players. Â He is most famous for the “Thanksgiving kick” in which he stomped on the arm of Green Bay Packers player Evan Dietrich-Smith after the play had ended and then kicking Matt Schaub in the “groin area” exactly one year later. Â Whether or not the second kick was intentional is up for debate, but it was pretty clear the kick on Dietrich-Smith was meant to hurt him. Â He has long been considered the league’s dirtiest players. However, Suh, who is not playing in this week’s Super Bowl, has taken on a new venture in reality television. Â He is competing on a new show called “Splash” in which ‘celebrities’ dive into a pool. Â It doesn’t real sound like an entertaining show, but instead a way for people to get hurt.
Suh’s teammates felt the same and discouraged him for participating in the show. Â However, it seems that the show has done something positive for Suh’s reputation. Â Yesterday, during taping for the show, fellow contestant comedian Louie Anderson was so exhausted that he could not get out of the pool by himself and looked like he might drown. Â Luckily, 6’4″ 307 pound defensive linebacker was there to save the day! He ran to Anderson’s rescue and lifted the comedian out of the water. Â Louie was fine and Suh can now be considered a hero! Â It’s funny how reality television can help some people, but honestly this show sounds awful. Â If this show lasts more than one episode, I would be surprised.
