Sal Alosi has been indefinitely suspended by the New York Jets for his role in conspiring to obstruct opposing players during a game. Well I thought that’s what football was…

“Over the last day as we continued our investigation we discovered some new information,” Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said. “The players at the Miami game were instructed by Sal to stand where they were forcing the gunner in the game to run around them. Based on that new information we’ve suspended Sal indefinitely, pending further review.”

“We’ve been doing that since the beginning of the year, standing right there. Sunday was not the first time that we’d been doing that,” Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland said.

Whether it was a conspiracy or not, Alosi could be thrown out of the league for sticking that knee out and I don’t think most of us would have a problem would that. But there’s a much easier solution: make the sunuvabitch run inbounds. You know, on the field. I’d hate to see this sort of thing catching on in other sports, although I wouldn’t mind seeing Sidney Crosby skate through the aisles near the glass of the Civic Center to create a little space for himself. It’s all relative, I suppose.
