Is Nick Fairley in the same league as Ndamukong Suh?

Nobody can touch Tom Brady, we all know that. However if he ever "shoves" Jamaal Charles helmet into the ground, I doubt we'll hear too much crying about it.

I disagree. A pro offensive line will not allow Fairley to get away with it.

yep, an OL is like the secret service for the guys behind them. Fairly takes a couple cheap shots and he may not want to be at the bottom of the next pile

There will be no whining, just a finger to the eye or a knee to the head.

And so the dirt will go both ways, and be unnoticed. Thankfully, we'll no longer have to suffer through the incessant crying over it.

The NFL is full of Nick Fairley's, and always has been. His mean streak will do him well.

I agree that an anti social streak doesn't hurt. His extracirricular antics will be challenged nonetheless. I doubt they continue with the prevelance we've seen this year.

Neither of which offends me. It's football, it isn't a game for the weak. Hence the reason I've refrained from overly critiquing Fairley's antics. They aren't all that uncommon. However, based on public reactions to his style of play, you'd think he were out there with a razor under his tongue shanking people.

Prevalent? Outside of the title game, he was flagged with personal foul penalties twice throughout the season. His antics have been sensationalized by the media.

He had two that weren't flagged in the SEC championship game.

Don't misinterpret my intent. It is a man's game. I'm fine with it and don't disagree at all. I'm just saying that there are grown up cures for this childish behavior.

Fairley's style of play is cheap. It's not uncommon but NFL OL's tend to take care of guys playing like that.

This is what I'm saying:

Yep... Fairly may have a nice career in the long run, but if he acts at all the same way as he did in college, he's going to get his **** ruined by most of the o-lines he faces. Fairley better already be thinking about protecting his neck and eyes.
