Sal "Loser" Alosi

I rememeber watching a similar incident on Not So Great Moments In Sports about the '54 Cotton Bowl.  Rice's Dick Meagle was headed for a TD when Alabama's Tommy Lewis leaped off the bench and tackled him.  Meagle was awarded the TD.

That said, the '54 Cotton Bowl was a player vs player incident.  In this case, you have a coach tripping a player and hurting him.  That coach needs to be terminated immediately and permanently expelled from the league.

Outspoken Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder had his own take on the play. "I wish they would have tripped me. I would have broken his leg."

there goes ass-clown again, all talk, no action.  I wish his off the field comments would match his on the field play, we'd have all-pro LB playing the Phins.

take a lesson from Dansby there Chowder, let your play do the talking.

He would fit in well with the Jets.

True

[Orlando Rays]

You know, I had no idea the player that was tripped was Nolan Carroll.

As in, the son of our Lieutenant Governor-elect.

That douchebag is really barking up the wrong tree now.

Not that this will justify his actions, but did you notice that Carroll was way out of bounds on the play ?

[Orlando Rays]

It shouldn't matter. The fact of the matter is, a non-player of an NFL team tripped an opposing player intentionally. It doesn't matter where it happened.

[Dave Gray]

The guy apologized for the act, letting us know that it was intentional.  With this new news, I expect bad things for him.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

From his apology...

My conduct was inexcusable and unsportsmanlike and does not reflect what this organization stands for.

Sal, you got that half right.  It was inexcusable and unsportsmanlike.  The second half of that statement is false.

Yes the second half is absolutely false

[StL FinFan]

They are talking about it on the post game show on NBC right now.  They are saying there should be "serious action" taken, but not elaborating if they think it will mean fined, suspended or terminated.  I guess it will depend on if they find it was intentional.

He was knocked out of bounds by the Jets players and was trying to get back onto the field when he was tripped.

“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.   I spoke to Coach Sparano and Nolan Carroll to apologize before they took off. I have also apologized to Woody [Johnson], Mike [Tannebaum and Rex [Ryan.] I accept responsibility for my actions as well as any punishment that follows.”

He admits it was intentional.

[Brian Fein]

Further proof that the Jets are cheating scumbags.  This a-hole should be fired immediately, and Nolan Carroll should be allowed one tackle on him.  Without pads.

[Dolphster]

Can't even say that I was surprised that this doucher pulled a stunt like that.  The Jets organization and their fans have always been completely devoid of any class at all for as long as I can remember.  New Yorkers in general are barely literate, speak as if English is not their first language, and live their lives as greasy, shower-free, guidos.  So no big surprise when one of their staff does something like this.  Just serves as a nice reminder of why it is so fulfilling to hate the Jets.
