“Jets Coach Suspended For The Season”

The ReadyWriter

New York Jets trainer Sal Alosi was suspended without pay for the rest of the 2010 season and fined $25,000 for tripping a Dolphins player on the sideline during a game on Sunday.

Alosi was caught on video sticking out his left knee to trip Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll, who ran out-of-bounds while covering a punt in the third quarter of Miami’s 10-6 win.

Sal, while blinking back fake tears, said on Monday, “I let everybody down yesterday with my actions. My actions were inexcusable and irresponsible.”

“I wasn’t thinking,” Alosi said. “If I could go back and do it again, I sure as heck would take a step back. It was just a situation where I wasn’t thinking.”

Carrol, who broke his right leg twice while playing in high school and college, said he wasn’t angry about the incident.

The suspension will begin immediately. General manager Mike Tannenbaum said Alosi will also not be allowed to interact with any players or coaches “as it pertains to his job function.”

Uptown magazine caught up with NBA superstar Dwyane Wade for a revealing look into his private life.

The 28-year-old, who once owned a 9,000-square-foot mansion in a tiny Miami suburb, now lives in a lovely yet modest row house (even though he reportedly earned $15 million last year). Wade explained that as he grows older (and settles down) he’s let go of the flashy, material things that he accumulated in his youth.

On His Relationship With Gabrielle Union:

“I found someone I have a great relationship with and that was the most important thing. You have to like the person you’re around before you can say you love them,” Wade says. “That’s the biggest thing right now; we want to make sure that we stay liking each other.”

“Cops Are Killing Our Young Black Men”

This story sounds too much like what supposedly happened in the Sean Bell incident.

Only this time, cops fatally shot a Pace University football player early Sunday after he supposedly ran down officers during a brawl outside of a Westchester County bar, police said.

It is being reported that officers tried to contain several fights in the parking lot at Finnegan’s Grill, but Danroy Henry wasn’t involved in any of those fights when an officer asked him to move his vehicle, which was parked in a fire lane.

Danroy Henry, 20, (pictured above), a junior defensive back studying at Pace University campus, stepped on the gas, knocking a Pleasantville cop onto the hood, according to police.

A second cop tried to pull the officer off the hood but was knocked to the ground, when Henry continued to accelerate, the officer clinging to the windshield pulled out his gun and fired several shots, police said.

An officer from the Mount Pleasant police, who was in the path of the oncoming car, also opened fire. The bullet-riddled vehicle then slammed into a police cruiser and came to a halt.
Henry, a business management major from North Easton, Mass., was declared dead at Westchester Medical Center.

A passenger, identified as Brandon Cox, 20 – a childhood friend of Henry’s and a running back for Stonehill College, which beat Pace 27-0 in Saturday’s homecoming game – suffered a minor gunshot wound.

A third passenger, Desmond Hinds, a 21-year-old receiver on the Pace team who is from Stamford, Conn., was unhurt. The two cops were treated for minor injuries.

Hinds’ father, Desmond Hinds Sr., said the young men weren’t involved in the fight and called the shooting “senseless.”

“There were no guns or drugs or knives in the car and now somebody is dead for no reason,” he said. “They didn’t even know about a fight. They were waiting for two of their friends … There was no reason to fire shots.”
