NFL to League: Appoint a "Get-Back" Coach on The Sidelines

See what you did, Sal? Now you've gone and made the NFL mad and ruined it for everybody—good grief.

You know the NFL never ceases to amaze me with its rules—a 'get-back' coach—seriously, that's their solution to guys forming "walls" on the sideline? "Get real" is more the approach they need to take. How do they plan to enforce these rules? I mean, assuming they aren't just hoping the mere fact that they've acknowledged the issue as being enough of a deterrent to future attempts?

Honestly, the moment I found out that this was their solution, I immediately thought of the police—no, not the ones with the sirens—the Police. Ya know, the Sting-led group from the 80's? Well, maybe the NFL should find a way to attach a make-shift alarm to the sideline that plays the following whenever anyone gets too close:



Okay...that's a little cheesy but, then again, so is appointing a 'Get-Back' coach. That's too funny.

Makes me think of this...



Alright...still cheesy. I blame, Sal.

The New York Jets Suspend and Fine Sal Alosi—Bad Move, Jets

After Sal Alosi stuck his knee out to trip Nolan Carroll, there appeared to be only one right move for the Jets to make in his regard—fire the idiot.

However, true to their brash and bold nature, the Jets didn't see fit to do so. Instead, Alosi will receive a $25,000 fine, and be suspended for the remainder of the season. Which, if you think about it, is three games—assuming the playoffs aren't included in his suspension—and just a handful more if the playoffs are included. 

Are they serious?

There was nothing accidental about what Alosi did on Sunday. His only error was in getting caught and, honestly, if he hadn't, there would be no apology and no fine because it's doubtful that he or anyone in the Jets organization would have come forward as a snitch—leaving him free to be stupid again at some other point in time.

Pathetic.

Oh, and for those who are making excuses for Alosi, consider this: what if Carroll's fall resulted in a career-ending injury? Would it still be alright then, too?

Better still, what if this happened to a marquise player?

If this were Troy Polamalu, Reggie Wayne, or Darren Sharper, would your attitude towards Alosi's actions change? Honestly, none of that should matter. Alosi's actions were inexcusable, inexplicable, and indecent, and he should have been punished accordingly—period.

The very fact that the Jets didn't see fit to do so speaks more to the frat house culture of Rex Ryan's sidelines than anything. Sal Alosi should be spending his Christmas holiday looking in the want ads for a job—not suffering through a few weeks without pay.

One thing is certain, the Jets just bet their integrity on a guy who is as replaceable as the waterboy in the NFL ranks—sure hope he's worth it.

Channing Crowder on The Jets: "They're Cheaters...I Wish They'd Have Tripped Me"

The Jets are, once again, embroiled in controversy. This time it's for an alleged trip of Miami defensive player, Nolan Carroll as he attempted to make a play during their contest. Miami strength coach, Sal Alosi is thought by many to be the culprit and, thanks to YouTube and Jeff Darlington, we now have the reaction of some of the Miami players—Crowder's comments are particularly hilarious:



Some may still question whether or not the incident happened or not, but you can be the judge:



Certainly looks like more than just an involuntary leg cramp—we'll see what Mr. Goodell thinks, but, obviously, someone will be looking for a job on Monday morning.
