Theres no way he committed those atrocities on purpose to get media. He could have been suspended and lost a good amount of money. It sounds like a good theory but because he's so smart is exactly why he wouldn't have done those things on purpose. That was game emotion caused.
I'm not staying up late worrying about it but it would be challenging as the whole D will hinge on him. Once we see them play WITH Suh it'll be agony no tot have him even for a game.
The theory may not be very common the people normally do, but if you look at all the evidence, it could be very well be possible.
1. Suh is a very different person off the field, then he is on...very doubtful a person can be so Jekyll and Hyde unless there was at least a bit of calculation involved.
2. As you said he is a very smart individual, so if anyone would do something like that, it would take someone smart enough to know that a suspension and the money lost would be nothing compared to the amount of money teams would pay after know how much he could take over a game.
3. If he really was such an out of control player, why did those horrible incidents happen so rarely and so far apart. If he was out of control, he would be out of football right now, because he would have 2 or 3 every year, and would have been suspended indefinitely by now. Instead they happened just in time to bring the spotlight on him again.
4. He played for the Lions, if he did not do that, he would have been thought as a great talent, but because teams and fans saw so little of him, there is no way he would have had such a payday.
OK, my conspiracy theory rant is over.
I will just end it with believing he might do some dumb things from here on, but you will not see what you saw with the Lions anymore miraculously.
