Other than the actual tripping, I really think this whole thing has been overblown. That said, I love watching the Jets* on the defensive making this whole thing worse than it would have been if they just shut up. I am convinced the league wants this to go away, but the Jets* are actually starting to make it impossible to do so.
Westoff should have never said what he did. By constantly on the defensive and trying to preserve his reputation, he only casts more suspicion on himself. He figured throwing the Pats into the situation would cause misdirection. It made him look like an idiot.
I also think it is funny that a no name back up player would tell the press that the sideline wall was coached all year. Could you ever see a Patriots player say something like that? Not that the Pats would cover it up, but Belichick would never let his players speak out of school or off script no matter the subject. It tells me that Ryan has no control of his lockerroom that a no named TE who can't even make the active roster on gsmeday can contradict everything the Jets* are trying to put out there that this was an isolated incident and Alosi acted alone. Jeff Cumberland is quickly becoming the Deep Throat of the Jets*.
I am glad that instead of preparing for Steelers, the Jets are in spin mode for Trip Gate. I think it will further cause the downward spiral of the team. I can't see them acting like the Pats post Spygate and circle the wagons and dedicate the rest of the year to one season long "FU" to the league.
