While Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick and golfer Tiger Woods remain the most disliked professional athletes, Ndamukong Suh is making a charge. The Detroit Lions defensive lineman placed fourth on a poll of most-disliked athletes, as published in Forbes magazine.
The Detroit Lions were one of the NFL's biggest stories in 2011, jumping out to their best start in over 50 years and making the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

The strangest coaching decision during Super Bowl week wasn't when Bill Belichick ordered his defence to act like matadors and wave Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw by for a touchdown from six yards out with less than a minute left in the game. That's just the one people will remember.
