Also, did he immediately step up? Was he the first guy down to Nolan? Did he even approach him to make sure he was alright while he was lying on the field? Did Alosi approach Nolan as he got up to walk away? No. Only after the game, when it was common knowledge he had been caught on film, that Alosi apologized. Maybe it was sincere - we'll never know b/c it wasn't immediate.

He pulled a cowardly act and, as far as I know, acted cowardly immediately afterword. Sure, it's hard to "man up" right away but, to get credit from me for "being a man", you do the hard thing not the easy one. Alosi had an opportunity to show remorse w/out the taint of "oops you caught me" and didn't avail himself of it.

Due to the unsportsmanlike and dangerous nature of the underlying act, and Alosi's failure to show immediate (or nearly immediate) demonstrable remorse, everything Alosi does later is questionable to me.
