So much for the so-called "Freudian slip". All these "expert" beat writers were so convinced that Ireland screwed up and let a secret slide that they saw things that didn't even happen. One herald writer, don't remember who, wrote he saw Irelad's face turn red when he had his slip up. I watched that video several times. It was someone behind Ireland who pointed it out. It had to be a Dolphin employee, so those idiot writes would pick up on it. Ireland played those guys like a musical instament. Now none of them has the guts to admit it. Instead we get articles about how there was a better player available. I'm real tired of these morons who alway think they know more than those who are on the inside and have proven track records.
Writers are looking pretty stupid right now!

It was so obvious that whole thing was staged.
Definately very true...
I never take much credence with what these beat writers have to say. We are far more knowledgeable about this sport than they are and they have proven this time year after year

They would rather put a spin on an untrue story (Phins wanted someone else) then admit they got played.

It could very well have been a slip-up. I see no proof that it was intentional.

Can't be a slip up if we signed our first overall pick. Ireland ****ed with the media; all I got left for them is LOL.
I doubt the comment was made on purpose. Ireland would be a very good actor to pull that off. I think it was a slip of the tongue that really didn't have any significance.

Didn't he correct himself and say he meant offense or defense??? I still think it's possible he just slipped up and said something he didn't mean to say. Not meaning he slipped because we were going to pick a defensive player and didn't want anybody to know. Has anyone ever said something bumeant to say something else, or said something and missed a part of what they meant to say??? It happens to everybody, people are just blowing the whole thing WAY out of proportion but the bottom line is...... WHO CARES!!!

Occam's razor is a principle that states that all things being equal in a given situation, the simplest explanation is most likely to be correct.
GM says "pillar of our defense" rather than "pillar of our franchise" during a press conference. Which is more likely?
1. In an effort to foster interest in the #1 pick, GM purposely misspeaks to lead teams picking below to believe that the Dolphins will select a defensive player (presumably Long or Gholston--two players for whom there has been no speculation of teams trading up--unlike say Ryan, McFadden, and Dorsey)
or
2. He misspoke
