LMAO

Martin......you ****ing pussy-ass redskin!




That'll toughen him up for sure...

I just wish this mess happened to a more prominent franchise. I just can't find the give-a-**** to care that this is going to wreck the Dolphins.

Could you imagine the backlash if this were the Patriots or Broncos? Ah, a man can dream..

Approaching Kotter territory. Is it just a thing with teachers?

Rut row, Miami is ****ed!!!!!!

Welp, there you go. That franchise is completely ****ed.

Yep. It doesn't look good for them.

:(


Jonathan Martin is now the owner of the LA Dolphins

Not surprising. Well it is... but Miami has been a circus under Ross, this kind of takes it to a new level though. They have never appeared to have solid leadership at any level.

They need to lean on Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony, the Williams' sisters and Fergie a little more

He ordered a code red?

Did anyone figure out why we should be outraged yet?

Hold on, I'm gonna go turn on ESPN, I'm sure they will tell me.

An NFL team was run poorly and displayed no regard for the feelings of those they employed.














Like every other NFL team...

I see what you did there!

Sounds like my job

:LOL:

Yeah, maybe just a smidge.. Nothing would make me want to hop on an airplane and join my teammates like one of them telling me he was going to shit in my mouth and kill me!

I can only assume the coaches were thinking Incognito would guilt trip him with some you're a selfish pussy who is making this team worse type stuff.

You're still as much an idiot as you've always been.

Incognito wasn't hazing Martin. He was harassing him, inside and outside the facilities. To his own ****ing teammate. On the same offensive line he plays on.

Yeah, I'm sure what happened here is exactly like your job. I'm really sorry about that $15,000 flight you had to pay for our coworkers' trip to Vegas.

No wonder Martin didn't go to management with his concerns.

Hope the Dolphins enjoys paying out a huge settlement.

Richie Incognito had a brand new black Ferrari delivered to his Miami home this morning ...



Hope you enjoy it before turning it over to Martin.

I almost feel bad for the fans and people within the organization that had nothing to do with this. For the Dolphins franchise to be "completely ****ed" over something so silly and stupid...I've never seen anything like it on the pro level. And of course the non-stop 24/7 sports news is blowing their load over it. This is why I stay away from sports radio, ESPN, NFL Network, and all that stuff. Better to just watch the games. And hell, not even watch the halftime show because that little twit Costas will come on and preach some bullshit.

This is one of the most ridiculous stories I've ever seen. Who gives a shit.

I have a feeling that article was written before it came out that The coaches had Incognito toughen him up? Because now, Martin can sue them too. PAYDAY!!!!!!

"had to", hmmm?

I was trying really hard to give a shit but left a wet fart and gave up.

is that an F12?

no way a dick/douch like that deserved to drive such a piece of engineering art.

Now's the time when the media and social media cry and rant until the Dolphins offer up a sacrifice from the coaching staff or front office.

Sadly, those are almost always the types of people that DO get to drive them/own them.

stupid ol' media.


(kicks rocks)

bein' all reasonable...

(mumbles under breath)

If he never wants to play in the NFL again, he can sue away.

If he wants to continue to play there or elsewhere, he'll probably want to work something out behind closed doors.

Yeah. They know all the facts, I'm sure. Better fire everyone.

I just can't believe this story is for real happening in the NFL. Bullying. In the NFL. Between 2 adult 300 lb offensive linemen. Hard to wrap my head around that.

yeah; you're probably right :shake:

One of these days, Dayze. One of these days. We'll get our own super sweet car. Or have a cool dream about getting one....:(

I've been on a work deadline and had very little time to keep up with this so if this has been asked my apologies,but how the hell did this kid make it this far if he's a big pvssy?

I'd seriously let someone cut off my pinky toe with a steak knife to have a car like that.

Be sure to stay tuned because it'll change hour to hour.

so, what's Tebow's take on all of this?

and why your good common sense is questioning this, however, remember we live in a country now where political correctness (hatred of America created by the Marxist Dem party that attempts to control "We The People") RULES !!

Again, I say IF Ritchie Incognito is black is this a HUGE Nat'l story ?????

NOPE !! It becomes a small sports footnote blip on the NFL network and ESPN because it's just one bro giving another bro 'the business':rolleyes:

You've apparently never been hazed before. You think he has a choice?

I already told you the Ryan leaf story. He refused to pay the teams exorbitant dinner and seau wrestled his credit card away. Then he popped leaf hard in practice to send a message. Dez refused to do the same and complained about carrying Roy Williams stuff and got blasted on social media for it.

You are blind if you don't think it's a huge problem that veteran players are using locker room pressure to force rookies to take money out of their own pocket to pay for BS.

This was huge news before anybody knew it was incognito specifically doing the harassing.

Either you have finely-tuned sense of sarcasm or you're just a run of the mill moron? Which is it?

I can assure you this is not sarcasm.

Please go away. KTHXBAI.

It's most definitely the latter

Cough.... Jeff Ireland.... cough.

Of course I have, and I had a choice to play along or not, just like Martin did.

Was some Las Vegas airfare a huge financial hardship for him? He signed a 4 year, $4.7 million contract when he was drafted and he received a $1.9 million signing bonus.

Is it right that the rookies pay for this trip every year? Well, no, but if I'm the rookie and I just got paid $6 million, and the choice here is between building a relationship with the rest of the team by adhering to social conventions and respecting this tradition, going on a trip where everyone parties together and if this is going to help my career, I wouldn't make a huge issue of it. It's a business expense. It's like buying a set of golf clubs so you can play with the guys in the office at a new job. Even though I dont particularly enjoy golf if it helps my career get off to a good start, why not?

In any case, even if I decided not to go along with it and refused, and I received harrassment about it, I wouldn't quit over it.

Except the golf clubs are 10% of your after-tax salary....

The difference is that if you decided not to buy golf clubs, I doubt you'd receive a voice mail telling you that someone is going to slap your mouth, slap your mother, and shit in your mouth. If that did happen and you reported it, that employee would be fired that day.

This....I am sorry, but this is unacceptable behavior in any workplace, including the football locker room.

FYP :D

I really can't stand when people say just because athletes make millions, that justifies fleecing them. 15,000 is a shitload of money. Whether that is half your salary or a percent of your salary. And no workplace should be that toxic where people go beyond harassing you outside of work. There is nothing right about this, whether at work or not at work. And no, I don't think this happens everywhere in the Nfl to this extent.

So what we have here is a 6'5" 320 pound extremely athletic 24 year old man getting bullied? What am I missing?

For some reason this reminds me of the Sopranos scene where Pauly buys a bunch of extra food and drinks just to run up Christopher's tab and stick it to him.

I think there are some common sense boundaries for hazing/initiating and Richie Incognito ignored every single one of them.

There are always a few guys who have no idea how to handle a position of power.

Obvously you've never been to a Turkish prison...or maybe you have and just deleted it from memory.

Martin didn't have to participate. Sounds like he chose to.

Incognito is a toxic person and should be released. That doesn't explain why Martin had to be a pansy about it or why this is a story.

whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me?"

The question is who ordered the code red on Jonathan Martin.

$$$ as in the MILLIONS Martin will receive for this > Money he would receive for trying to play...

:clap: This is exactly the case. Why quit???

Although I don't necessarily like the way you are framing your argument, I do agree with you that the correct course of action is most definitely NOT to quit.

people so anxious to make Martin the problem


human beings are such assholes

I'm glad you're human so I don't have to call you an asshole...

The Martin crucifiers are definitely in the wrong. Incognito is the villain here.

I, however, do not believe that quitting/running away should be viewed as noble or correct. I understand why Martin did it. Martin must have felt there was no other course of action. A lack of resolve/determination/resiliency

That's what I am saying.

Incognito is just one of those people you fire because he's toxic. That doesn't make this a story.

Honestly, if the N-word hadn't appeared in those voicemails, this would have been a minor story, if a story at all.

Especially if the one he should of gone to were behind it. Hard to go to your superiors about a problem at work if your superiors side with the person in question

Who is trying to make Martin the problem? I haven't really seen much of that at all. Sure there were people calling him a pussy early on, but alot of that seems to have subsided or at least taken on a tone of "both sides were wrong".

That said, without knowing more about what went on, it's way too early to determine that Martin made the right decisions at every point along the path.

Apparently Incognito is black now

In an honorable way too :rolleyes:

Just read that.


Apparently Martin wasn't fully accepted because his parents are lawyers and he went to Stanford.

Yep. If the "right" race angle wasn't present (white on black) this would not be much of a story. It wouldn't be much of a story if the angle was black on white either.

Because he didn't want to continue to put up with the bullshit?

Everyone has their breaking point. Martin's may be significantly lower than that of the average NFL player. Is he a pussy for it? Yeah, he probably is in the minds of many.

But the reality is, these guys doing the hazing have to recognize where "all in good fun" goes beyond fun. So Martin is a pussy that can't take a joke? Then back the **** off and leave him alone.

True. I also feel Martin KNOWS that he can make a hell of a lot more $$$ when he sues the NFL / Dolphins over this, then he could playing football. He is a very smart individual. He's in over his head in every way in the NFL and he knows it. In a court of law, he's not.

This was a bug story well before it was clear incognito was the primary harasser

I agree with everything you're saying here.

He's a pussy.

Incognito is the prototype "big guy" asshole.

Perfect storm.

We don't even know that legal action is being considered by Martin.

We don't know there is life on other planets for sure yet either but...
