Would directly contradict Philbin's first press conference, where he said neither he nor anyone on the Miami Dolphins had had it expressed to them by Jonathan Martin that he had any issues with the personal conduct of anyone on the team. Now maybe they went with some legalese there since it was Martin's agent, rather than Martin.
Anyway, this will be the story tomorrow. We're seeing some very staged point/counterpoint here between the team and Martin's camp, just as I thought there would be. Although there will be some he said/she said about what Martin specifically said to Philbin in their conversations, the presence of a third party here in the agent will give credence to Martin's side of the story in general.
The only part of this that hasn't been staged is the players' reactions. That was very genuine, and based on what the players are saying, not something Philbin wanted them to do.
There's a lot more to come, guys. I wonder whether we'll get some of these voicemails and texts tomorrow. I tend to think we'll get more than usual, rather than getting some tomorrow and Friday. As everyone who works in the news business and PR knows, no one pays attention to the news on Friday. They actually call it "Take Out the Trash Day". The West Wing even had an episode called that. Thursday is the last big TV day of the week until Sunday.
