I'm too lazy to look it up but isn't this a bit of a back track by Marvin Lewis from what he originally said?
Seems to me he's having to acknowledge something did happen because its been so widely leaked but still trying to deny how bad it was. If it were truely the non event Lewis wants everyone to believe then why did he originally try and deny it and why is he so incensed that it was leaked?
I understand the team loyalty angle but something has to be fairly bad to warrant "team secret" status no? You simply don't see people in any organization get lit up for leaking things that are suppossed to be non events. If its truely a non event then its not a news worthy story and can't be leaked anyway.
Now if the star player goes nuts at halftime, has to be physically restrained and possibly takes a swing at someone(s) then I can see why a coach would be [censored]ed if it were leaked to the media.
Between this and the doctors 180 on his original statement regarding Palmers knee, my bull[censored] detector's on full tilt right now.
I'm thinking things are probably a bit worse than they want anyone to know on both fronts.
