Ref gets attacked by high schooler [video]

From the YouTube description:

The game ended in forfeit after the player from Desoto High School in Arcadia, FL attacked the referee after being issued a technical foul and was ejected from the game. The player has been banned from all extracurricular school activites according to the coach, suspended till January 10th as of now, and a police report has been filed. However, the official involved chose not to press charges at this time.

Skip ahead to the 1:20 mark and watch the player in the white jersey inbound the ball. His defender bodies him up and the player responds.

I didn’t think the player deserved to get tossed until the second shove on his defender. Obviously, his reaction to the play was completely inappropriate.

Video of Jets’ strength coach tripping Dolphins player

I wrote about this incident in my six-pack of observations on the Dolphins-Jets game but as soon as I found the video I wanted to post it.

This has to be one of the most unprofessional and classless moves I’ve seen in the NFL. This moron is the head strength and conditioning coach for a professional football team and he decides to sideswipe an unsuspecting player, who gets hurt in the process. So in essence, he helps the players avoid injuries throughout the week and then injuries an opposing player come Sundays. Well done, jackass.

Since the incident, Sal Alosi has issued an apology (from ESPN.com):

“I made a mistake that showed a total lapse in judgment,” Alosi said in a statement. “My conduct was inexcusable and unsportsmanlike and does not reflect what this organization stands for. I spoke to Coach [Tony] Sparano and Nolan Carroll to apologize before they took off. I have also apologized to Woody [Johnson], Mike [Tannenbaum] and Rex [Ryan]. I accept responsibility for my actions as well as any punishment that follows.”

Thanks to Mark Sanchez and the rest of the Jets’ offense being just as embarrassing as Alosi’s decision-making, the Dolphins got the last laugh in the end. With their 10-6 win, they handed the Jets their second-straight loss and are now back above .500. It’s a long-shot, but Miami could still make the playoffs if they win out. They host the Lions and Bills over the next two weeks before going on the road to play the Patriots in Week 17. If New England has the top spot in the NFC wrapped up by then, they may rest starters and Miami could get a cheap win (just as the Jets did last year when they beat the Bengals’ backups in Week 17).

It’s not unrealistic to think the Dolphins couldn’t finish 10-6 and make the playoffs.

Video of Metrodome roof collapsing

This is absolutely insane:

What was the roof made out of, Charmin extra soft? Thank God nobody was in there when the snow started to break through.

The Giants-Vikings game that was scheduled for 1:00PM ET Sunday has been moved to Detroit’s Ford Field on Monday night. Kickoff is set for 7:20PM ET and tickets are free to anyone who comes. Those who had tickets at the Metrodome will get “priority seating” and for those who can’t make the trip to Ford Field, the Vikings are refunding tickets.

As for the game from a football standpoint, this is great for the Giants outside of all the rescheduling. Yeah, they have to play the Eagles now on a short week but the Vikings’ home field advantage has been completely stripped. In terms of the Minnesota game, the Giants now get the Vikings on a neutral field, which is huge at this point in the year.
