We know that the New York Jets are a team that likes to be loud and proud about their exploits. They're a team with a lot of swagger even when things are not going well, which they haven't been of late. Less than a week after losing 45-3 to the New England Patriots on Monday Night football, Rex Ryan's bunch lost 10-6 to the Miami Dolphins, and did so in a much more embarrassing fashion...
Go to this link for the rest of the story as this video must be seen to be believed. A member of the Jets coaching staff deliberately trips a Miami Dolphin player who is running up the sideline to cover a punt return.

Unless the rule has been changed recently, attempting to accelerate out of bounds past the blockers rather than returning to the field of play is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
The NFL should adopt another set of hash marks outside the existing ones -- maybe 7-10 yards inside the sideline. No player should be permitted to line up outside those hash marks at the start of a play. This would drastically reduce both intentional and unintentional trips outside the field of play for these players who line up so wide on punts.
That does Not however answer the question of what was the dolphins player doing that far out of bounds on a play like that.

Watch the play from the beginning, on this or any punt. The guys out wide routinely are pushed out of bounds by the return team.
Because the Jets are a bunch of loud-mouth, cocky assh*les. That's why. And it's so much fun stuffing the crow down their throats.
J-E-T-S-U-C-K!
“But for the apology, this coach would be in the clear. The video evidence alone does not show this was intentional.”
I thought so, too.
In fact, do you think the player was actually injured as he put on? Geez...he rolled with the fall. We’ve seen worse falls and collisions on the field and they get up and continue to play.
Sumo Football?
Always been one of my ideas to make football more interesting.
The out of bounds should be a moat with sharks and crocodiles swimming in it.
That makes zero sense - wouldn’t the crocs just eat the sharks?
Probably right, I have a hard time keeping track of that whole animal food chain thing, just sharks would work.
