Right now, they're teetering on a mutiny in that locker room. I don't want to be hyperbolic, but I was in that locker room after the game on Sunday. The defense is mad at the defense, the offense is mad at the offense. You have young receivers who are throwing tantrums on film in Pop Douglas and Ja'Lynn Polk.
A short time after getting posted, however, the YouTube link was no longer working while the video of the segment also was made unavailable on patriots.com. The clips being made unavailable quickly began making the rounds on social media, and created more traction than Lazar's original statements seemingly would have on their own.
Lazar himself appeared on 98.5 The Sports Hub on Thursday night to discuss the controversy. He claimed that he got "carried away" during the recording of the episode; the statement was not intended to ignite any issues within the organization.
To make matters even more curious is the fact that the audio version is still available on the Patriots' website and podcast players alike. However, the part in question - starting at 57:40 - has been edited: the sentence about the locker room "teetering on a mutiny" has been cut out of the show.
