Apparently there’s more trouble for the Detroit Lions’ Ndamukong Suh.

The Oakland Press reports that Suh and his sister, Ngum Suh, are being sued by Gregory and Laura Packer, seeking the return of a security deposit.

According to the article, the Packers leased a Birmingham residence from Suh and his sister and are seeking twice the amount of the $100,000 security deposit, along with interest, court costs and attorney fees. Their attorney, Steven Matta, filed the suit Tuesday in Oakland County Circuit Court.

The article reads: “The lawsuit states that the Packers moved into a home in the 800 block of Pleasant in Birmingham on March 15 after signing a lease agreement with the Suhs. The Suhs demanded a security deposit of $100,000, which was to be held in escrow by a title company. On June 15, the Packers moved out of the residence and notified the Suhs. The Suhs have not returned the deposit and have also refused to allow the Packers to retrieve property inadvertently left at the residence. The lawsuit also accuses the Suhs of violating the security deposit law, which states that a security deposit cannot be more than 1.5 times the amount of monthly rent.”

The D (where it's so cold)
Jahvid Best's career is O-V-A.
ALLEN PARK -- Jahvid Best, running back for the Detroit Lions, did not pass his neurological tests last week, and the team does not expect him to play anytime soon.

The move does not come as a surprise considering Best completed his exam last Monday, but Lions coach Jim Schwartz would not reveal the results. According to several sources, Best was never going to be cleared, but the Lions wanted him to accrue another NFL season so the running back could have access to the NFL's pension plan, which is obtained after three years of service.

Here is the statement from Lions general manager Martin Mayhew:

"After today's consultation with medical experts, including representatives from our medical and training staffs, it has been determined that Jahvid will not be permitted to return to play at this time," Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew said.

"Throughout this entire process we always have placed the highest priority on what is best for Jahvid from a health and safety standpoint," Mayhew continued. "While today's decision is disappointing from a football perspective, we fully and entirely respect and support this recommendation.

"Jahvid will continue to work with our medial and training staffs with the hope that he ultimately will be cleared to return to the playing field."

As of today, it appears unlikely that Best will play in another NFL game.

Last season, Best missed 11 games after sustaining a season-ending concussion injury against the San Francisco 49ers. It was at least his third concussion in two years.

Detroit made Best a first-round pick in 2010, despite his history of concussions at the University of California. Best rushed for 555 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie, plus had 487 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Last season, Best had 390 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus 287 receiving yards and one touchdown before his injury.

However, family members have been concerned about Best's long-term health, and have pressured him to retire for months.

Best is slated to earn $645,305 this season, $876,000 in 2013, and $1.1 million in 2014. He received a signing bonus worth $1.6 million in 2010.

:wow:

First off it makes me proud that the Lions let Best remain on the roster so he could receive his NFL pension, that was a great gesture by them. Especially when you consider the whole Best draft pick was a gamble anyway with his history of concussions coming into the draft, you would think the Lions would cut ties ASAP on their failed experiment but the Lions take care of their own.

Despite the problems on offense the Lions were at their best when Jahvid was on the field, I hate it had to be him.

A quick glance through the Lions statistics might leave some people scratching their head when they see that the Lions rank No. 2 in total offense and No. 9 in total defense in the NFL, yet sport a 2-3 record.A quick glance through the Lions statistics might leave some people scratching their head when they see that the Lions rank No. 2 in total offense and No. 9 in total defense in the NFL, yet sport a 2-3 record.

That Monday night game last year against the bears when he took the shotgun draw about 90 yards to the house :wow:. Was a great safety valve for Stafford. But this news isn't surprising at all. With all the college concussions he was a major risk anyway. I was hoping for the best though.

It was sad to read about Best. Classy move on their part to keep him on the roster so they can try to get him that pension.

On a more negative note, most of us figured this day was coming sooner rather than later since draft day. When someone has a history of concussions like he did coming out of college, it's only a matter of time before that player gets more. That was not a smart pick, especially since they traded up to select him.
