NY Jets assistant coach trips player...

[Archae]

They still lost. :-)

New York Jets assistant coach Sal Alosi admitted to intentionally tripping Miami Dolphins player Nolan Carroll, who was running along the sidelines while covering a punt during Sunday's game.

"I made a mistake that showed a total lapse in judgment. My conduct was inexcusable and unsportsmanlike and does not reflect what this organization stands for," Alosi said in a statement.

"The team is reviewing the situation and is looking into the appropriate next steps," Jets public relations chief Bruce Speight said in a statement Sunday night.

The video shows Alosi leaning in and using his knee to trip Carroll, who went tumbling to the ground on a punt in the third quarter. Carroll was not injured during the play.

"I just remember running and then next thing I know I'm on the ground, 'What happened?'" Carroll said to ESPN. "I remember I split the double-team and after that couldn't tell you what happened."

The Jets lost the game 10-6.

I haven't been very much of a sports fan for decades, but that behavior was
so far beyond acceptable that he should be, for all intents and purposes,
unem-fucking-ployable in any form of professional sports for life.

That's not a momentary lapse in judgment -- that's deep DEEP character flaw.

His behavior risked a career-ending injury to that player who was so intent on
his game that he didn't even know what had happened -- absolutely vulnerable.

5. I'd think he should get some serious punishment.

The player was running full speed and it could have ended really badly for him.

2. The Eagles are looking for men of his character.

If he gets fired, maybe he could get a gig in Philadelphia.

4. What a cheater.

He could get a job with the Eagles. They'll take anybody.

11. To those picking on the Eagles:

Would you please let us know where you're from so we can find the flaws in your guys. Thanks.

Note, Vick disgusts me.
