Per @JeffDarlington: Richie Incognito was advised by Joe Philbin tonight he has been indefinitely suspended by team while NFL investigates, Incognito tells me.

Ha ha.

:deevee::deevee:

Billah is such a bully!!!

Just sounds like a shitty Lockeroom all round, no leadership whatsoever.

@nfldraftscout: Garafolo: "Multiple sources told me Martin's camp informed Dolphins and NFLPA that Incognito sent threatening and racially charged texts"

This shit is ****ing stupid in 2013. Donuts are one thing. Duct taping a guy to the goal posts is another.

Extorting people for tens of thousands is a felony.

Fine. If I am the owner and there is proof of it then he gets cut. Then I explain personally to the players that immature behavior will not be tolerated.

yea, there is a big different between funny hazing and bully extortion

what a pos. I am glad that he is suspended

A point I made long ago, and people poo pooed on the idea.

See guys, if it happens to Incognito, is CTE all that bad?

Precisely.

I've agreed with, like, your last 3 posts. You're on a roll.

At least he didn't do something stupid that could be traced electronically via the social media. That would really be dumb... Wait.

Idiot !!!

Seems like something the NFLPA should address. They should be able to self police and get the practice stopped.

Gosh just put them in skirts amirite

Dolphins move swiftly, decisively against Incognito
Posted by Mike Florio on November 4, 2013, 12:35 AM EST


So much for Jonathan Martin being concerned about retribution.

On Sunday, the representatives of the Dolphins tackle provided evidence to the team supporting Martin’s contention that he was harassed, specifically by guard Richie Incognito and more generally by the culture of the team’s locker room.

The decision to promptly suspend Incognito for conduct detrimental to the team necessarily means that the evidence tendered by Martin’s camp was strong, and that it was clear. The evidence is believed to include text messages from Incognito to Martin and at least one voice message.

The plain terms of the team’s statement indicate that Incognito wasn’t merely suspended pending further investigation. The Dolphins already have determined that Incognito engaged in conduct detrimental to the team. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team may suspend a player up to four weeks without pay for detrimental conduct. The NFL also may impose discipline for violations of the personal conduct policy and/or other league rules and policies.

The NFL will review the situation, which means the NFL will investigate. Incognito has rights under the CBA, and he will be entitled to oppose the team-imposed suspension.

While the full story has not yet been told, it’s obvious that the Dolphins have seen and heard enough to believe that Incognito did something wrong, despite his recent rant on Twitter in which he demanded that his name be cleared.

For now, his name has been cleared — indefinitely from the team’s roster.

Sounds to me like you have a perfect storm of a leaderless locker room, Ingognito being a complete, flaming asshole and Martin being a gentle giant who had reached his breaking point.

Everyone has their breaking point, and if Martin had been putting up with this for two seasons - I'd say he lasted longer than most.

Also - maybe Joe Philbin should be more concerned about things like this and less concerned about gum wrappers on the practice field.

Makes me wonder if this started after Jake Long left?

Nope. Long was still there last year when it all started.

Incognito just looks like an over grown 12 yr old bully. I hope Miami releases him.

Philbin looks like a hypocritical joke in this if you watched him awkwardly on hard knocks.

Cuts Chad Johnson because he says he doesnt want any distractions and isnt building that kind of culture and yet he now has the biggest team distraction in the league.

Yup, something I commented on earlier. The guy is a terrific coach, but he comes off as incredibly socially awkward. I don't think it would be hard to know that Martin was going through this. Either he did nothing, or just was completely blind to the warning signs.

All Billay had to do was flex the guns and kids handed over their lunch money.

Bring him in for a look?

Deadspin ‏@Deadspin 40m
Is Richie Incognito's dad posting on Dolphins message boards that Jonathan Martin uses drugs and attempted suicide? http://deadsp.in/CWMYkhM


Worth a read

With Jeff Ireland as GM? Shocking, I say.

WTF?

Swiftly, decisively? Really florio?

@ProFootballTalk: Tony Dungy tells @dpshow that the Colts had Richie Incognito on the "DNDC" list -- "do not draft because of character."

The Incognito Family is a massive piece of shit., especially Father and Son. That shit has been going on since his days at Nubbie

Holy shit.

What a moron. My son is justified in bullying this guy because he tried to kill himself. Nice.

He might be a poster on here. He told Joe Philbin he hopes he dies of AIDS.

What a ****ing mess. ROFL

Yikes...

Apparently the douchebag doesn't fall too far from the tree.....

Dick Incognito's Dad's post:

Cognito will end up with the Raiders, or in professional wrestling.

Pretty easy to see why Richie is as ****ed up as he is. What a piece of shit human being this guy demonstrates himself to be with that post.

how or why did they think signing this dude was a good idea

and i find it hard to believe Ritchie whatever the **** is the toughest guy in that locker room. That someone can't just pull a Thomas Jones and break him.

Jeff Ireland should be fired lol

Yeah and the fact that he posts it on a public internet forum tied to the Dolphins with a username that is easily traced back to his identity means that he's a gigantic ****ing moron on top of being a piece of excrement.

Related to Peeholi?

Heh. He said "True Fan"...

Where did Carl Peterson work after leaving KC? I forget...

I see this as a potential win win. The line gets upgraded and CP gains a valuable poster :shrug:

Wow. You kind of suck.

LMAO The dude kind of WOULD fit right in here. Sadly enough.

You know he's used the phrase "pussification of America" a time or two.

Insanity is the great uniter..........

Among the texts that Jonathan Martin made available to his parents, and then, eventually the Dolphins and the NFL, include those in which Richie Incognito refers to Martin, who is biracial, as a "half-n*****," according to a source who was privy to the communication.

DOLPHINS HARASSMENT CASE
Latest updates from the Martin-Incognito situation
There are several instances of threats as well, the sources said, and overall disturbing exchanges, including one in which Incognito refers to defecating in Martin's mouth.

Incognito also made reference to tracking down members of Martin's family and harming them in the texts as well, according to a source.

In some instances, that kind of rhetoric might be shaken off or ignored, but, given the track record of incidents between Incognito and Martin, and how sustained it had become, Martin truly felt that Incognito might be capable of inflicting harm, and for his safety getting away from the team was in his best interests.

The NFL, apprised of the evidence, began upper-level meetings on the case this morning as it launches its investigation. People with access to some of the exchanges believe in time this situation could become a springboard for further policies and practices at the league-wide level in regards to hazing, verbal harassment and perhaps also stricter codes in terms of financial harassment and actions whereby rookies are required by veterans to pick up excessive tabs and bills as a rite of passage.

FYP

Also, what does Niger have to do with anything, especially world war tow?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-Niger_sat.png

I'm afraid he's spend most of his time in DC.

Wow Richie's going down

The key question is whether he would bully us or we would bully him. I wouldn't bet against us.

Make sense. After all, his interest in Niger clearly shows that he follows global issues.

Of course black artists use the word Niger. It's really hard to find a rhyme for Mauritania.

Probably because of their unique cheetah population.

Holy shit. Threatening his family is way out of line.

Via text too, you know because they are untraceable and stuff.

That's a permaban. Mods?

this guy needs to go to "federal pound me in the ass" prison.

Any legitimate chance that Incognito gets a ban?

Wow, holy shit. Richie's dad sounds like a pissed off 15 year old.

An official or unofficial one? If the results of this investigation comes back and shows pretty much what we all think it will, what team would sign him? I'm not sure if even the Raiders would take a flyer on that shithead.

Yeah, I could see this guy getting the Terrell Owens treatment. It's not a ban, but who would want a guy like that on their team? He just won't get signed because he makes other players around him worse.

look at this douche

His career is toast

Damn wtf. I am kinda interested in seeing what Martin said to him in response to all this shit. Then again, I'm kinda not...

Jonathan Martin clearly needs a change of scenery. And he should probably move to guard.

Come on down!

Incognito is on the team leadership council, lol. What a dumpster fire on top of a train wreck.

And to think they shit canned Chad Johnson for being a distraction....

Cary Williams plans to fight Incognito for this.

Typical Husker.

They'd have to. I think Jonathan vilma would be pissed if they didn't. Considering the extortion piece.

Does this also warrant legal action? This isn't just detrimental to team conduct, sure sounds like illegal harassment.

My twitter account showed "@68incognito responded to your tweet". I didn't recognize the handle but when I clicked on it it showed Richie Incognito's account. But it didn't show any tweet from him to me, so I don't know if he immediately deleted it or what.
I thought it was interesting. Too bad I didn't catch it quick enough.

If nothing else, he would certainly a valuable addition to DC.

what did you send him?

ask him if he was recruited by Sandusky
