Tua Tagovailoa's recent remarks have sparked enough outrage to distract everyone from his and the Miami Dolphins' efforts (or lack thereof) on the field. He attempted to walk those comments back when addressing the media for the first time since making them.
Tagovailoa ostensibly knew his questionable choice of words following Miami's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers was at the front of everyone's mind.
He wasted no time cutting to the chase, opening Wednesday's press conference with a sincere apology. While it was nice to hear him take full responsibility for causing an internal uproar, the damage may already be done.
