ALLEN PARK, MI (AP) -
Detroit Lions defensive
tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $30,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, but says he
didn't kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on purpose.
That's why Suh insisted he doesn't need to
apologize to Schaub.
The Portland native spoke to reporters
Wednesday for the first time since his left cleat connected with Schaub's groin
area in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday.
Suh dodged another suspension from the
league, which has fined him instead for his latest questionable move on the
field.
His reputation, though, has taken another
hit.
The
NFL suspended Suh for two games last season after he stomped on Green Bay's
Evan Dietrich-Smith in a Thanksgiving game. Suh said he was sorry to
Dietrich-Smith.
