Sheldon Richardson took an odd swipe at teammate Brandon Marshall last week, and the two haven't talked to each other since.
"We have one more week. I’m sure we’ll cross paths,” Marshall said Tuesday when asked if he had any plans to talk to Richardson. “We see each other more than we see our families. We’re here six days out of the week, long hours, so I’m sure we’ll cross paths. But that story is in the past. He said what he said, I said what I said, and it’s time to move on and win the ballgame.”

Richardson and Marshall both said they hadn't spoken to one another, and Richardson wasn't in the mood to discuss the situation.
"I’m not answering any Brandon Marshall questions,” Richardson said. “I don’t have a beef (with Marshall). Not at all."
After the Jets' 41-3 loss to the Patriots, Richardson was asked about Marshall, who called the loss "embarrassing." The defensive tackle's response? "He should be embarrassed." Why should Marshall feel that way? "No reason. He just should be. He knows what he did."
Neither player has elaborated on what Richardson meant by his comments, but there's a clear frustration from this team after its immense struggles this season. New York has gone 4-11 while averaging 16.3 points per game (third-worst in the league).
Coach Todd Bowles said he spoke with both players individually and with the team as a whole about the incident.
