Jets suspend coach for tripping playerFLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Minutes before the Jets' strength coach, Sal Alosi, expressed remorse Monday for purposely tripping an opponent on the sideline during a game the day before, Dicky Maegle answered his telephone in Katy, Tex.
Maegle predicted exactly what Alosi would say in his defense: that he was not thinking, that he made a mistake, that it took place in the moment. Maegle knew this because something similar happened to him in the 1954 Cotton Bowl, and when he watched the replay of Alosi's gross misconduct, the memories came rushing back.
"People don't understand," said Maegle, 76, who changed the spelling of his name from Moegle to make it phonetically correct. "It's not funny. When someone blindsides you like that, you could be injured for life. That's why they put the chalk lines on the field. To keep your butt behind them."
