Now we find out he was the one that summoned the wall of coaches to begin with after denying that....lied about it...and looks like it was premeditated because he did.
facts...all of them.

So the league disagrees with you. The Jets will not lose a first round pick. Rex Ryan will not be fined $500k the maximum allowable (Belichek was). He won't even be fined what McD was fined a couple months ago. Alosi's interference determined the outcome of one play... Best case scenario Carroll gets a fumble and returns it for a TD same outcome at the end of the game except the Fins win by more. Hoodie's cheating affected numerous games and even the Super Bowl.
Alosi should be fired. What he did was abhorable as he could have injured the player. I would say what he did was worse than spygate in a moral context. But, as it relates to the integrity of the NFL it's not even close. If the Rams had won that Super Bowl a lot of people's careers would have turned out differently ie Mike Martz would have lasted as a head coach much longer. I am not saying that they would have won, but hoodie potentially cost Martz and some players millions of dollars.
