on ESPN shortly ago, he said when O'Neill was summoned to meet with Philbin, Aponte, and Hickey in Indy where they abruptly fired him, Aponte asked him if he had anything to say and his response was "talk to my lawyer". so we can assume he might be filing some sort of lawsuit against the team.

but even more important, Mort said he spoke with people close to O'Neill and he was told O'Neill actually told management about the harassment. When asked if that included Philbin, Mort said he didn't know. Now why O'Neill refused to cooperate with the investigation is anyone's guess, but I don't see this mess going away anytime soon.

There were orders from the commissioner and the owner to fully corporate with the investigation, not doing so could be a firable offense don't ya think?

Unless it is documented, then it is he said she said

hmm this could get tricky could be they told him not to talk then blamed it on him and fired him. So now hes like o yeah well i told them the whole time so talk to my lawyers. Could explain why he got fired at the combine maybe he felt they were trying to dump it all on him so he started to fight back.

The sky is falling.

Losing Kevin O'Neil is pretty big. He was one of the best if not the best athletic trainer in the NFL. When you think about the lack of injuries we have had on the OL and DL these past two year's, I'd attribute a good bit of that to O'Neil. We'll see, but my guess is this loss will be felt along the starting OL and DL.

Incompetent ownership trickles down and becomes incompetent management. This is the result.

If something actually comes of this, it will be a big deal.

Until then, it could just be the angry outburst of a terminated employee. Plenty of people have shouted "You'll hear from my attorney!!!!", without ever actually going through with it

We have had years of a lot of injuries.

WOW, holding the trainer responsible for not policing players.....only in Miami. Guess we need a trainer to keep players in line, thought we had a Head Coach and Assistants for that, guess we have an interesting management structure.

The Dolphins are making the Titanic appear to be a successful pleasure cruise with plenty of ice for cocktails.

Some of you guys want Dan Marino to step in on this?

Yeah; not so much now. This figures to get a lot worse before it goes away.

Well that is a bit of an overkill. Dolphins will be around in 2014 and beyond. Also worst thing that can happen here is Ross loses some money.
