Oh yeah, good memory you have. I had high hopes for him and then always wondered what happened to him. |

Incognito is a genuinely bad guy. You don't do this kind of crap to destroy team chemistry. It's selfish and stupid. I'll bet the Dolphins jettison him right after the season is over.

Perhaps he and Nacho can fist each other none too gently?

SPN: Martin fears retribution from Incognito Posted by Mike Florio on November 3, 2013, 10:59 AM EST Incognito AP Yep, the Jonathan Martin situation keeps getting weirder. At a time when the Dolphins claim that tackle Jonathan Martin hasn’t alleged that he was bullied or harassed by any teammates and Incognito has demanded on Twitter that his name be cleared, Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen of ESPN report that Martin hasn’t formally accused anyone of bullying or harassment because he fears retribution. Per the report, Martin specifically fears retribution from guard Richie Incognito (pictured). Schefter detailed a situation in which Martin was intimidated by Incognito to contribute $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas by the team’s offensive lineman. Martin, according to Schefter, didn’t want to go and ultimately didn’t go — but he surrendered the money anyway. If true, it’s the really rich guy example of someone stealing someone else’s lunch money. Schefter also explained that there are text messages and at least one voice message proving harassment and justifying Martin’s fears for retribution. Schefter added that Martin’s recent comments to Incognito explaining that Martin doesn’t blame his teammates for harassment also arose from concerns by Martin that he’ll face retaliation if he accuses Incognito of doing anything wrong. Until Martin makes a formal complaint of bullying, the Dolphins will be able to declare that everything is fine. Even if the truth is that everything is far from it. |
Why not just cut Incognito now?

Martin headed for NFI list, may never return to the Dolphins Posted by Mike Florio on November 3, 2013, 10:17 AM EST Jonathan Martin AP The situation involving Dolphins tackle Jonathan Martin continues to get more and more bizarre. In the wake of the Dolphins issuing an “all is well” statement, it’s clear that all isn’t well. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Martin will be placed on the non-football illness list as soon as Tuesday. Per Rapoport, Martin doesn’t feel comfortable returning to the team “unless the situation changes drastically in the Dolphins locker room.” So Martin hasn’t complained of bullying, but he thinks things need to change dramatically in order to return to the team? If the problem for Martin flows not specifically from the Miami locker room but generally from the culture of the NFL locker room, changes would need to happen in every locker room before Martin could play again. Then there’s the question of whether the NFLPA is or isn’t investigating the situation. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has called the situation a “major priority,” and subsequent reports indicated that an investigation was occurring. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN the probe initially focused on guard Richie Incognito. Now, the NFLPA has said there’s no investigation, and Incognito has demanded via Twitter that his name be cleared. To add even more confusion to an already confusing situation, Rapoport says that “the NFLPA has not launched an investigation” but the union is in “information gathering mode.” How is that different than an investigation? Our guess based on all the available facts and reports and circumstances is that Martin believes something happened beyond the confines of the normal and accepted behavior of an NFL locker room, but that Martin realizes it’s not in his interests to officially complain about bullying. Instead, Martin likely hopes that things will change without Martin causing specific problems for any of his teammates or for the organization. Regardless of the truth, we’ve got a feeling that this specific story has plenty of remaining twists, turns, and contradictions. |
