DEVELOPING: Carolina's Brayton Fined $15K

((HT: FoxSports))

And we thought the NY Jets Sal Alosi was the only sideline hit out of bounds...

This one is worse...

Carolina Panthers defensive end Tyler Brayton was fined $15,000 for hitting Atlanta's Chris Owens out of bounds in last week's game.

And we mean REALLY out of bounds...

The fine was levied back on Friday, but not made public until Sunday. Brayton will not face a possible suspension or any further disciplinary action since the fine is already in play and announced.

Brayton hit Owens in the head after he was forced off the field during a punt return last week.

The evidence is below...

Here's Jay Glazer and FOSG Curt Menefee discussing the Zapruder-like tape...

But we prefer this kind of elbow if you're gonna drop one...

BREAKING: Sal Alosi suspended for the season

And he should have been fired. There is...and was no excuse for what the Jets strength coach did to Miami Dolphins player Nolan Carroll in Sunday's game. None.

By now you've seen the video of Alosi sticking out his leg and tripping Carroll as he was pushed out of bounds on punt coverage. He should be fired for it. Instead, the Jets have fined him and suspended him for the rest of the regular season.

The ever informative Jay Glazer of Foxsports.com has more RIGHT HERE 

Sure, we get that Alosi has apologized, it's the least he could do. There is also some discussion that the NFL is now looking into the line of Assistant coaches on the sideline. According to a report on Monday Night Countdown, there is concern that teams are purposely lining coaches up there to distract or deter gunners on punt coverage.

Either way, there is nothing that can justify what he did. As the Dolphins Channing Crowder said, it is the ultimate "low class" move. Sorry, my Dolphin allegiances aside, there is no cause for anyone, Assistant coach, strength coach...anyone on the sideline should be automatically tossed from the game on the spot...and fired.

Here is video from the Sal Aliosi "Press Conference" this afternoon:
