Brandon Marshall, Jets beat writers discuss player-journalist relationship on 'Inside the NFL'

Boomer Esiason jokingly called it "The Tabloid Summit That Saved New York," but later added, "I don't know if we got anything done there, folks."

Regardless, the segment on Tuesday night's "Inside the NFL" on Showtime in which Jets receiver Brandon Marshall attempted to broker peace and understanding with three beat writers - including Newsday's Kimberley A. Martin - was unusual and interesting.

The approximately eight-minute segment was designed as a follow-up to an exchange on the previous week's show between Marshall and Judy Battista of NFL.com/NFL Network.

Marshall had alleged there is too much media access to NFL players these days and Battista bluntly explained the absurdity of his position, with subsequent backing from fellow journalists.
