ESPN making things up?

This is what ESPN has become.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Mark Schwarz — a non-NFL beat guy — contacted agent Rick Smith to discuss Jonathan Martin. Schwarz then reported that Smith said Martin had issues with multiple players on the team.

After Schwarz’s report appeared on ESPN, Smith denied providing that information to Schwarz on Twitter: “I have no independent knowledge of anything Mark Schwartz from ESPN attributed to myself. I’ve never heard of [Schwarz] until today.”

If there is any good to come out of this situation its that ESPN is revealed to be a cesspool of journalistic "integrity". There are A LOT of ugly characters bubbling up to the surface due to this story.
 
wouldnt suprise me in least.

and If I am in the dolphin organization, I cut off Armando, Omar, and Jimmy JJ Walker.

I dont give them anything if I am a football player. I tell them to suck it. and do it on camera.
 
What makes me sad. No matter what comes of this situation even if Martin made up the whole thing (which I realize is unlikely) the Dolphins organization has already been executed in the court of public opinion. So there is nothing I think that can come out of this without the dolphins being torn to shreds.
 
Hard to say. Rick Smith may have realized how poorly Martin is coming across, and regretted saying what he said. So he now denies it.

Martin not getting along with several players is pretty damning.
 
Everything is already bad enough, they want to jump on the Dolphins so bad, looks like they want to make up stuff.
 
I guess it's possible but it looks like all the media is after is somebody's head.
 
So the NFL is going to meet with Martin supposedly next week. It all comes down to that IMO. What his laundry list says and how much more there is.

I wonder if Incognito has councel and if they can get a hold of those emails, texts, and VM so they can refute and put things in context. But until then, the media will drip and drag and damned be incognito.
 
I think Martin's lawyers called the agent and said...."NOT YET"...we leak this next week"
 
I think this is one case where the modern age is killing us. We hear one thing one minute and a contradictory thing the next due fast news, twitter, etc. If this happened in the eighties we probably would have never heard anything and if we did it would be only after the conclusion.

Seriously, I'm suprised Nando and Omar haven't been cut off already; because they've been making false claims about the club for years
 
:lol: I was going to say you can't make this stuff up, but apparently you can!

He's never going to answer any questions ! Shark vs Shark.
 
To me it looks like the work of Martins new lawyer. Smith probably did talk to this reporter. Then after getting reamed by martin's counsel, decided to do damage control.

The most damning information against Martin has been the other players themselves. If there is going to be anything that trips up Martin's lawsuit it will be that locker room.

I don't anticipate a lawsuit until the NFL investigation is complete.
