Jonathan Martin
« on: November 01, 2013, 09:53:50 pm »
Anyone following thus story?  I honestly cannot think of an analogy in the pros.  There isn't much in the way of information out there other than rumors, but it sure will be interesting to see how the five key stakeholders (NFL, NFLPA, Dolphins brass, Dolphins teammates and Martin) ultimately deal with this issue.  I wonder if he'll ever play again.

The fact that Incognito's name is the first to leak out as one of the perpetrators isn't surprising.  Schiano's probably trying to trade for him right now.

I read a story earlier that he and Incognito exchanged texts where Martin told him he didn't blame him but the locker room stuff got to him. It also said that he had been dealing with issues that were "personal in nature" for months. That being said, I certainly don't feel the "personal in nature" is any of my business, but at the end of the day it will probably be revealed he is homosexual and some of his teammates are homophobic.

Maybe his teammates in the cafeteria were worried about catching the gay?

How much longer until Incognito releases a statement that he is being bullied by the media?

To the mouthbreathers saying that this shows that the NFL is getting "too soft":

Go tell a Marine that he's too soft.  Or, at least, try.  I doubt you'll finish.

It's looking more and more that it was the case of somebody with low tolerance for assholes was put under the leadership of a giant gaping goatse-level asshole.

I'm confused some people are saying that Richie Incognito is a giant turd and others are saying he is a giant asshole. Can we at least agree he is one fucked up dude?

He is very fucked up. He has major rage issues made worse by abusing performance enhancers.

His past is checkered to say the very least.

So can we hope that Incognito's (presumed) PED use has rendered him sterile? I'd prefer to see that particular genetic line come to an end.

Martin is less black than Incognito, it seems...
