Ireland had tension with Sparano. Now he has tension with Philbin. At some point even Ross should be able to see that Ireland is the common thread and a walking dysfunction.
Anyway, the rest of it is pure Mando. Deflecting blame from Ireland here. Deflecting blame from Ireland there. Deflecting blame from Ireland... everywhere. "The most talented roster since he's been there" was my favorite part. How much more patronizing can you get, especially when you're not trying to be patronizing? He might as well have given out a little league trophy for "Most Improved".
My second favorite part was Mando calling to check around on this whole "tension" business and not finding anyone who would refute it. Oh, you don't say? This tension -- nicespeak for "they want to kill each other" -- is not some recent development. It's a ****pot that's been simmering for months if not years yet Mando wants us to believe with his close relationship with Ireland that he's only now getting a whiff? More bull****. He just didn't say anything because dysfunction on this scale isn't good for his #1 source.
Yup. Also, how does he know Aponte badly wants out? Did she tell him that?
In a week filled with BS reports, this one might be the biggest turd of all.
Aponte might want the league job but she also wants to be the second female GM in NFL history.

Just out of curiosity, who was the first? Amy Trask of the Raiders? What was her job title? IIRC, she wasn't at all involved in the personnel stuff.
Ohh, maybe Mike Brown's daughter? :sidelol:
But I don't think she gets along with Ireland so well.

And the players can't stand Ireland either
