You have to be a little nutty to do something like that.

Looks like it was kind of a macho thing.....like don't invade my space.

Good way to get hurt.

It was the strength and conditioning coach.

I watched that over and over again.

while yes, it was poor spirit of the game, he really didn't do anything wrong.

The gunner was running OB. The coach stood his ground. He didn't move to get out of the way, which he should have done, but there's no rule about that. He simply stood his ground, which is 100% ok. If a player runs into a coach,(which is technically what happened) there's nothing that can be done. yes, the coach leaned into it, but it was because the coach wanted to be the hammer, not the nail.

It's all in the link including his apology.

That's true, but he just as easily could have avoided the collision completely.

Yes, that's true, but it's not on him to avoid players, its on the player to avoid the guys on the sideline.

IMO, that was unsportsmanlike, but as far as rules go, nothing wrong happened.

I suppose the player coming off the field and crowding the coaches at high speed in their own space could be regarded as a provocative or aggressive act.

LOL! He INTENTIONALLY stuck his knee out to trip the player up. He knew exactly what he was doing.

That whole team is turning into the laughing stock of the AFC. I'd put the NFC, be our team is right up there in that catagory I fear, what with the whole Noodle "Should he play/Shouldn't he play" thing, now our stadium fell down.

When it [strike]rains is pours [/strike]snows enough the roof comes down I guess.
