Well, well, well...
As Brian Tuohy would quote: "There are no coincidences."
One of the oddest stories of later in this season is the complete collapse of the New York Jets.
After a 23 point win over the Dolphins and 17 over the Packers, the Jets were 5-2.
They've lost six of eight and are basically out of the playoffs, losing tiebreakers to most of the teams around them (Jacksonville and the Patriots)...
What we found out today, I think, answers the question...
Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin has been thrown out of the NFL, banned for life, reinstatement in at least one year -- gambling.
The NFL had been investigating him for some time, ESPN sources noted, and there is at least the violation that it appears some degree of sports gambling was taking place on team property (which is one violation).
Even gambling on sports at all is a second, but the report indicates the NFL or college football was not involved.
In a twist: Players could at least gamble on non-NFL sports. Team personnel like coaches cannot.
