Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh has helped demonstrate the different between reality and reality TV.
NFL.com reported that Suh recently made an appearance on the Discovery Channel's reality show, "American Muscle." One of the show's regulars, a man named "Tank Dog" enters a room wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey in front of Suh, who is sitting down.
Suh playfully begins banter with Tank, telling him to "take that weak jersey off."
Suh's comment, likely coupled with the television camera in the room, prompts Tank, a personal trainer, to mess with the Lions' player.
NFL.com printed a transcript of the conversation between the two.
Tank Dog: A lot of Packer fans don't like you. (rolling up Packers championship banner)
Suh: Hey, that's all right. A lot of people don't like me.
Tank Dog: I'm trying to help bridge the gap between you and Green Bay fans. So I don't want you trying to kill anybody on Green Bay. It's kind of like a conflict of interest; you see what I'm saying?
Suh: So you want me to just go out there and just say hi to them?
Tank Dog: I don't want you to kicking them in the nuts like you did Schwab (He's probably referring to Matt Schaub). That whole stomp thing, what did he say to you, dog? He did something. Did he grab you? He held you and you was like, 'Get the (expletive) off of me. Something happened!
Suh: Man, that's in the woods, man.
Tank Dog repeated asks whether Suh and Schaub hugged after the game, in which Suh repeated, "It's in the woods, man." Then Tank Dog pretends to be Schaub asking Suh for a hug. Tank Dog hugs Suh, but it's unclear whether Suh hugs back.
That's the beauty of reality TV, which created an amusing moment for "American Muscle." Had that conversation played out without a camera, odds are pretty good that a different outcome between Suh and Tank Dog would've taken place long before Tank Dog asked for the hug.
Do you think it was a good PR move for Ndamukong Suh to go on "American Muscle" and allow a little levity at his expense? Comment below or tell us @SportsWN.
