With the Dolphins being selected as one of six clubs to represent the league in regular season contests while facing off against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, it’s an honor for the entire franchise, including Head Coach Joe Philbin.

Philbin needlessly made an issue of this, and it suggests he still doesn't fully understand the nuanced demands of being the "one voice" of his team.
