Reports: Flozell Adams will not be suspended

[Poiuyt]

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Flozell Adams will not be suspended for shoving Giants defensive end Justin Tuck in the back on Sunday, according to two newspaper reports.

The Dallas Morning News and Newsday are both reporting that the NFL will not suspend Adams.

It should probably go without saying that the league is expected to fine Adams -- if there's no discipline at all for the play, it will basically serve as an invitation to every offensive player in the league to take all the cheap shots he wants at the end of the first half.

1. I actually thought they would suspend him

Primarily because his behavior wasn't only against the Giants but two other teams,

The first was in Week 1 against Tampa Bay, $5,000 for unnecessary roughness for striking an opponent on the head.

The second was in Week 2 against the Giants, $12,500 for two kicking fouls, one of them against Tuck that left Tuck with a shoulder injury.

The third was in Week 3 against Carolina, $7,500 for unnecessary roughness, kicking an opponent.

Also be sure to read about the loophole when it comes to fouls at the end of a first half.

8. Wow - that's about $75,000 for the year!

I know he has a lot of money but still that is a load to lose for dirty play.

6. If only they would quit giving me reasons...

Don't defend the indefensible. It's beneath you.

3. Why? This bastard is a repeat offender, fines haven't done a thing

And anyone who thinks I belive he should be suspended because I hate the Cowboys is an idiot. He should be suspended because he's a nasty bastard. It begs the question if he was on a different team would he be suspended though...
