Incognito’s Entries in the Fine Book
Incognito made a number of notations in the offensive line’s fine book
following Martin’s departure. He recorded a $200 fine against himself for “breaking
Jmart,” awarded Nate Garner a $250 bonus for “not cracking first,” and wrote down the
following fines for Martin:
100 pussy
100 pussy
100 pussy
100 pussy
1,000,000.00 pussy

When interviewed, Incognito acknowledged that these fines were levied in
response to Martin’s decision to leave the team but claimed that the entire fine book was
no more than good-natured joking among the offensive linemen. At first, he claimed that
he did not know why he had been fined for “breaking Jmart.” Upon being told that the
notations appeared to be in his own handwriting, he did not deny that “breaking” another
player meant causing that player to have an emotional reaction as a result of verbal
taunting. He also said that the running bet on the line was that Garner would break first
from the verbal taunts, which is why Garner got a $250 bonus for “not cracking first,”
and that Martin was fined for being a “pussy” because no one just walks out of practice.

Incognito’s Attempted Destruction of the Fine Book
On November 3, Incognito wrote nearly identical text messages to both
Pouncey and Garner: “They’re going to suspend me Please destroy the fine book first
thing in the morning.” When asked about these text messages, Incognito claimed that he
believed it would be “misunderstood” if it was reviewed outside of the offensive line.
Neither player destroyed the fine book, and it was recovered weeks later.
