The Jets have always played dirty when up against the Dolphins (and a lot of other teams) but to see something like that coming from the sidelines by a staff member was unbelievable. He should be fined and fired.
U would think he would be fired,,,wow,,that was conduct unbecoming a professional,,in the military,,his happy a** would be gone, but he might get a raise and a new condo,,who knows, there is no justice anymore,,,and no ethics in sports anymore,,

Actually, look at the sport as it really is - a group of men tackling each other (contact) while chasing a ball around a 100 yard field of play in order to win. There is as many reasons to put down your opponent than there is strategies to win.
The sport itself is just a combination of wrestling, soccer and strategy and if one is to consider the safety of the players, then it should be considered that changing the game to something else is in order to limit the damage done to these players.
This simply comes down to two things - one is that it can't be played without the contact needed to use offensive and defensive strategies to win, albeit sometimes brutal contact is made only in order to play those strategies ... and the second is that the sport makes money because of the brutality.

looked to me the guy was running down the side line,he shouldn't have been that close to the other players and coaches,still it shouldn't have happened
