The sports world is abuzz over the clip of Sal Alosi, a conditioning coach with the New York Jets, tripping up Nolan Carroll of the Miami Dolphins during a special teams play on Sundays game when the Dolphins upset their divisional rival. Carroll is not a bad rookie cornerback but he is probably best known in Tallahassee because of his mother -- incoming Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll. Its being reported that Alosi apologized to Carroll but tripping someone from the sidelines is never the correct thing to do -- and in this case, its clearly not politically correct.

CBS Sports is reporting that Will Muschamp, who served as defensive coordinator at the University of Texas, LSU, Auburn University and had a stint on the coaching staff of the Miami Dolphins, will be announced as the next head coach of the University of Florida Gators on Tuesday.

While former House Speaker and incoming U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has not even served a day in his new position yet, an activist out in Texas has created a Draft Marco Rubio website to promote the Floridians chances for the presidency in 2012.

As a Republican, I think its crucial for the health of our nation that we beat Barack Obama, wrote the founder of the site, who identified himself as a late 20-something Texan.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, a noisy critic of the Federal Reserve, will finally get the chance to have oversight of the group that directs the country's monetary policy. It was announced today he will chair the Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee when Republicans take over the House next year.

Paul has consistently called for the elimination of the Federal Reserve, and actually wrote a book called "End the Fed."

At least one prominent politician is open to challenging President Barack Obama in the Democratic primaries.

Bob Burleson of the Florida Transportation Builders Association (FTBA) cheered the news that Florida Republican U.S. Rep. John Mica would chair the congressional Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Count Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Posey as a fan of Space X -- the first private company to launch a spacecraft around the planets orbit.

This is a great moment in commercial spaceflight, said Posey on Thursday. I offer my sincere congratulations to the Space X team, and their founder Elon Musk.What they achieved yesterday -- the successful launch and recovery of the space capsule -- is not only a significant step forward, but it is a historic achievement for a commercial firm. This bodes well for Americas future in space.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown weighed in on Thursday when it was announced that $342 million in federal funds would be headed to Florida -- instead of to Ohio and Wisconsin as was originally planned -- for high-speed rail projects.

The DREAM Act has been tabled in the Senate as key Republicans show no sign of backing it -- including U.S. Sen. George LeMieux from Florida.

No surprise here as he was the ranking member before they won the majority, but U.S. Rep. John Mica was selected by his fellow Republicans in Congress to chair the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure -- giving a Floridian the gavel over the committee overseeing highways, aviations, rail, maritime shipping and the Coast Guard, among other tasks.

We must begin immediately to address the significant needs and challenges facing our nations infrastructure, and create jobs, said Mica.
