New York Jets Strength Coach

So, he was caught in the act of purposely tripping a player from the Dolphins, during a play. He made a major mistake.

However, what was lost in all of the hub-bub was that he apologized. He apologized to the player directly. The coach of the other team. His head coach. His owner. He also did it publicly. Finally, he stated that he would accept, without reservation, whatever punishment he would be dealt.

We are all entitled to make mistakes, however it is how you deal with them, that is the true measure. He has done and said everything right.

In the end, he has been suspended for the remainder of the year, without pay, and fined $25K. Good for this guy for being a stand-up individual.

UPDATE: Clearly this post was made long before they found out he planned this, and that he lied...I completely retract my post. Good for the NFL for fining the team another $100K for this rediculous act.

...and he withheld information about making the players line up on the sideline.

All around classless character. He was apologizing solely to keep his job, which he no longer deserves.

its something he will def. regret one day...hopefully. Right now i agree the apology was just a feeble attempt at keeping his job....what mindless stupidity.
