Possibly because Philbin made it clear to Martin that he would expect him back with the team, and Martin's only ammo to keep himself away from the team (for whatever personal reasons he has) was the Incognito stuff.
Miami Dolphins Press Conference 4:15pm est
- Thread starter Chubby
- Start date
What were you honestly hoping for? It's a press conference by a pro football team. Did you think Philbin was going to come out and break character and just have some "tell all" with the press? lol
Not really. Someone else in the organization should be handling this entire thing, IMO. Philbin should be making sure only that he's monitoring future occurrences of it adequately.
It's very clear that this was the only detail they wanted to come out of this press conference. No details about anything except the fact that Philbin met with Martin and Martin never conveyed any of this to him.
It's a bunker, war time strategy, designed to shift the focus from the team to Martin. What did he say? When did he say it? Why didn't he say so and so? RATHER than addressing the widespread criminal conduct that's been going on right under their noses.
yup
It wasn't more or less than I hoped for. Doesn't it mean it wasn't bull****, however.
Wtf are you talking about. Philbin said Martin never told him of any abuse. When he was informed, he acted. What more do you want him to do at this point. Break down like a little b**** on stage and beg for forgiveness?

If only he was Mike Mccoy...amirite?! :rolleyes2:
And I should believe him why?
Reporter -- "Is there racism on your team, coach?"
Philbin -- "Again, that's going to fall within the review of the NFL."
Seriously? You can't find room for one non-robotic passionate sentence.
It's like he took lessons from Michael Dukakis.
The opening statement wasn't bad, although I thought he should have been more specific regarding the communication with Martin. I doubt the Dolphins asked enough questions or the appropriate questions, if Martin didn't offer any specific complaints. This is hardly a typical situation, leaving the team in midseason. What's going on? Probe him. Ask the 4 or 5 or 25 follow up questions, even if they are uncomfortable. Where's Larry King when you need him? It's my annoyance with this era in general. The premier investigative reporters are gone so nobody seems to understand that the typical questioning they witness is not sufficient or effective.
The questioning segment was nervous and weak, highlighted by the exchange I led off with.

Really?
What the hell did people expect to hear? That Joe knew everything and it will all be solved over a beer and some wings?
Get a grip people. Joe says one wrong thing and you are talking million dollar lawsuits.
Of course he would say nothing and we would get nothing other than what we already know.

Winning is a Habit
On going is a way to hide behind the shield. Dolphins PR game plan to to not talk about it and hope it goes away.
