Ravens' Suggs says Brady and Manning get preferential treatment.
Terrell Suggs can’t bring himself to feel bad for anybody who plays for the Steelers, but the Pro Bowl linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens can’t help but feel that James Harrison is getting a raw deal from the NFL.

Suggs said during today’s conference call with the Pittsburgh media that there has been injustice with Harrison when it comes to being fined by the league.

“Your guy over there, 92, I think he is red-flagged,” Suggs said. “The referees are kind of looking for him. Even if he breathes on a quarterback wrong, he might get a flag.”

..snip

Suggs also went on to say that quarterbacks like New England’s Tom Brady and Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning get preferential treatment over other quarterbacks in the league.

“The league has their favorites,” Suggs said. “One being in Indy and one being with that other team up north. Besides those two, everybody is fair game. Some quarterbacks are getting the calls right away. Some quarterbacks they don’t care.

1. Sure they do. They're the faces of the league.
It's all about the money. A hurt Manning or Brady brings the value down.

2. Imagine how many picks Manning would have thrown by now if he didn't.

:rofl:

Besides, it's quite a bit younger than the NFL soap opera routine. Heck, I suspect Days of our Lives actually offers up an actual change of plot now and then.

12. One deserves it, one doesn't. Bill Burr epic rant.
Bill Burr's post Super Bowl anti-Peyton Manning Monday Morning Podcast rant.

NSFW.

Not even close.

It's also not safe for use of the "C" word, and I don't mean 'Cock.' if that bothers you.
