If, when you ask if it matters, you mean do I think that would justify mistreatment, the answer is no.

I kind of think the "more" part is Incognito being voted the NFL's dirtiest player, being kicked off two college teams for bad behavior, and being labeled as undraftable for character reasons by at least one NFL team and likely many more.

Perhaps Incognito is keeping Martin from morphing into The Beast by constantly bullying him and that's why he's doing it. Or, perhaps an asshole with a history of being an asshole at Nebraska, Oregon, St. Louis, and now on voicemail in Miami, is just an asshole.

Furthermore, I suggest you look up what a connotation is, because either you're willfully being obtuse and full of shit (which is the likely case) or you have no idea what the connotations are of the words you use and how you structure them.

I looked up the word "unspeakable" instead in an attempt to figure out why you think it's so important for information about Martin's sexuality to be kept hidden? What is it you think is so bad about homosexuality?

Martin is notoriously soft mentally. Maybe he lets trash talk into his head during games, so Incognito said that he would harass Martin until he learned to ignore it...kind of like what drill sergeants do.

I think it's worth hearing his side.

If Incognito has a story, he'd better share it really, really fast, because the story is growing far past his ability to impact it. I think if he had a story he would have shared it by now.

You can drop the act now, it's pretty clear why you are fixating so much on Martin's sexuality.

Do you think that's why Mike Wallace has so much respect for him?

I agree...but I'm not talking about the likelihood of him having this alibi. I'm just trying to establish that context could, in fact, matter.

I tried to make it as clear as possible. I'd be fascinated to hear your take though.

Obvious red herring is obvious.

I'm not the one who mentioned his absence of a girlfriend/wife as though it is relevant to this story. Does it matter if Incognito is a homophobe in addition to being a racist? Does that make him less heinous? What relevance does Martin's sexuality have to the story?

I don't know enough about Mike Wallace to know whether I value his opinion or not. Or whether Incognito told him, "Tweet something nice about me or I'll kill your parents." Wallace's statement seemed pretty stilted.

It's not a surprise that the guy who pouts even when his team wins if he doesn't get the number of targets he wants would come out and defend a team cancer like Incognito.

My guess is Mike Wallace had no clue what was really going on.

Incognito has, was, is, and always will be a piece of shit.

I can't believe people are using Mike Wallace as a barometer of anything. This is the same guy who pouted after the Dolphins won in week 1 because he only had 1 catch.

Rain Man 11-04-2013 10:12 PM

I found it interesting that one of the ESPN segments said, "The Dolphins said that Martin in no way accused or blamed Incognito of anything," and yet the league has the voice mails and texts. That tells me that, rightly or wrongly, Martin is truly frightened of what Incognito might do.

How did the Incognito connection first emerge, anyway? I don't recall. I know he was involved in the cafeteria incident, but how did he get accused of a bigger role?
