Yes and no. How much does a strength and conditioning coach make? $100k, $200k? $25k is a pretty good portion of whatever he is making. Plus; does he lose a pro-rated portion of his salary the way players are suspended do?
On the other hand I agree it would be very easy to kick money back to him. If somebody else ordered and organized those guys to form that wall, they surely want to Alosi happy and in their good graces, and keep him from speaking up.
Big Christmas bonus coming his way this year. This is a 100% cover up. There were 6 of them standing man to man with orders to "get in the way"

Yeah, Goodell's going to do something all right - he'll change the rules to prevent the Gunner from running out of bounds at all and fine the Dolphins player for doing it. The Jets will receive a commendation from the league for bringing this gross infringement of the spirit and intent of the rules to his attention.
Just like he did with their sexual harassment this year and with Farve, and just like he did when they held illegal practices this year. Just like he did when they admitted to filming the Patriots a few years ago but said the Patriots said it was ok even though the patriots denied this. Oh yea, they might lose a 7th rounder if they pull off a contract hit.
Bump. Please get this stream of thought in the national media. Someone?
But let's not take any draft choices away from them; that's like taking a gun from a child. It's the second most productive method they have for creating dead cap space, following only the signing of old vets to contracts they'll finish off on IR.
They have 6 men here to get in the way. You can see Rex 6 feet away and slightly behind. Is he looking at the ball which was kicked to the other end of the field? No he is watching his guys about to take out the Miami player out of bounds.

Who knows? If it is true the Jets are handling the punishment, there is no way to verify that this guy will be impacted in any way. What prevents the Jets from collecting $25K and then giving him a $25K Christmas bonus in a couple of weeks. Or they could just do nothing and say they did. There are no salary reporting or cap situations so the Jets just drop this guy $100K for a job well done and keeping his mouth shut.
Why don't all teams get to handle their own punishment? Besides the obvious Pats example, what about all the teams that were caught tampering? Because that would be stupid and stink of favoritism and cover-up.

It isn't the crime that gets you...its the cover-up. There were 6 guys in a line where they weren't supposed to be...obviously with an agenda. Check the video, they were right next to Rex. If you were in the middle of a huge game and there was a chorus line of strength coaches, practice squad players, turf specialists and web admins next to you, you don't think you would notice and ask WTF they were doing?
If Rex had come out and said that he lined up those guys to "discourage" the Fins from running out of bounds (which is a penalty) and this bozo went too far, Rex gets a reprimand, it is called gamesmanship and the story dies except as a "Spygate" comeback...and who really cares about that?
Now Rex and the Jets organization are on record as having no knowledge of what was going on. They are lying and people always lie for a reason. The facts of this story will drip out over the next couple of weeks and be a lead weight around their necks. Just what you want as you head out on a 2 game road trip against division leaders, going without a TD for 10 quarters and counting, facing the possibility that your 9-2 team may now need tiebreakers to make the playoffs and your SOV is .383 and only getting worse.

As heard on the Dale and Holly show today: Thighgate!

The fact that every one of them was still right on the line, that not one of them took even half a step backwards with the Dolphin's gunner racing up the sideline makes me think that this most likely was a planned tactic by the Jets. Of course unless somebody talks we will never know who organized that sideline wall. But it goes against basic human instinct to stay in the path of a player in pads running full speed right towards you. One guy I can see, but every one of them not moving, staying as close as they are allowed to?
Hold.....Hold.....Hold.......Hold

Happy Holidays, Rex.
Yep, think back to the original "(fill in the blank)-Gate": Watergate. It wasn't the original crime - the break-in - that did Nixon in; it was cover up and the lies about any knowledge of anything that occurred. Interesting parallels here.
Goodell may be in a tough position here. As a Jet fan he'll want to sweep this under the rug and not even comment on it. But with the CBA negotiations going on, if he does nothing the NFLPA could use this against him in the court of public opinion, pointing out how he has a double standard for players and non-players, and his talk of concern about player safety and integrity of the game is BS.
On the other hand I agree it would be very easy to kick money back to him. If somebody else ordered and organized those guys to form that wall, they surely want to Alosi happy and in their good graces, and keep him from speaking up.
As we say in the music industry; Payola, whats that? Oh here's a $5,000 visa gift card someone gave me, but I dont want it. You can have it. By the way, here's a cd of a new artist that i'm sure you'll want to put into your rotation
