The Miami Dolphins on Sunday lost their defensive identity, their best player on offense and their place atop the AFC East.
But roughly an hour after the Dolphins fell to the Bears 32-21, things truly took a turn.
James Gould, the agent for oft-injured receiver DeVante Parker, ripped Dolphins coach Adam Gase in a way you rarely hear on the record.
Parker was inactive for the fifth time in seven games this year, and Gase told reporters that Parker, who has been dealing with a strained quad, “is not completely healthy yet.”
That incensed Gould, who released a blistering statement to reporters Sunday evening:
“I am responding that he is not telling the truth and his decision was an example of poor management and cost the team the best opportunity to win,” Gould wrote.
