Yo Sal, why you trippin'?



Sal the Tripper

 I'm sure all of America by now, is aware of the antics of Sal Alosi, a staff member of the New York Jets.  In a city full of bright lights, sights and all the highlights, Sal Alosi wasn't about to left out of the headlines.

During Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, several replays showed him trip Nolan Carroll as he ran to cover a punt.  The player lay on the turf for a while, obviously injured from the fall, but was able to get up and walk off the field with some assistance from his coaches.

Initially, Sal was fined $25,000 and suspended for the rest of the season.  That suspension was upgraded to "indefinite", after the team got "new" information that he had instructed his players to form a wall; forcing a  player to have to run around it.  Had that been accomplished, what's to stop us from thinking that he would not have tripped a player running behind him?  I'm guessing that the purpose of this "wall" was to shield the cameras should the opportunity have presented itself. 

And according to Jets' player Jeff Cumberland, coach Alosi has summoned players to "form a wall" before, never giving them a reason why.  Now, if that's not mafioso, I need to enroll in a "crash course" pronto.  I know the mob might run the streets, but the sidelines?  C'mon man!!

Sal Alosi has apologized for his actions and reportedly even apologized to Nolan Carroll.  A lot of people have called for him to be fired, and rightfully so, if I might add.  What the Jets do from here on out only remains to be seen.
