For once we have a positive story about Lions’ Ndamukong Suh.  Yes, Suh is a hero.  Check out what he did…

Via TMZ:

Comedian Louie Anderson narrowly averted disaster this week at a taping of “Splash” — because he nearly sank to the bottom of the pool from sheer exhaustion — but thankfully, Detroit Lions star Ndamukong Suh came to the rescue.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ, Louie — who’s a contestant on the show — was practicing his dives on Wednesday when he became a little too bushed to pull himself up the ladder … falling back into the water again and again.

We’re told Louie eventually had to be rescued by Suh and divemaster Greg Louganis — who physically lifted the foundering funnyman to the poolside. Louie then sat coughing up water for several seconds.

Despite the scare, we’re told Louie’s gonna be fine — his rep says Louie is already “feeling great, loving the challenge.”
