An unusual situation is unfolding in Miami, where Dolphins right tackle Jonathan Martin has left the team after suffering an "emotional breakdown" this week.

NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Wednesday that Martin is currently seeking help with his family after an incident at the team's cafeteria, according to team sources.

Martin is listed on the team's injury report with an illness, and is doubtful to play Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that Martin was the victim of a prank at the cafeteria, becoming enraged enough to "smash his food tray on the ground."

The second-year pro has not been with the team since that time. Darlington reports that Martin immediately sought treatment at a local hospital. He has since left the hospital and is now spending time with his family, according to team sources.

Martin opened the season as the Dolphins' replacement for Jake Long at left tackle. He was moved to right tackle when the team acquired Bryant McKinnie via trade last week. Tyson Clabo is expected to start in Martin's place on Thursday.

Dude has no business whatsoever putting himself out there like that.

I don't know. Given the culture here at ChiefsPlanet, I could see some of our posters acting that way on the team boards of their sons.

I didn't realize until just a few minutes ago that Incognito was kicked off Nebraska's football team, then Oregon's team before he even played a snap.

What an epic asshole this guy must be.

What "tone" could possibly soften this? This pretty clearly isn't good-natured bantering. This is a flaming A-hole doing what flaming A-holes do.

"Hey, wassup, you half n----- piece of s---. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. [I want to] s--- in your f------ mouth. [I'm going to] slap your f------ mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face [laughter]. F--- you, you're still a rookie. I'll kill you."

If only douche bags had a way of marking themselves so we could pick them out of a crowd.

What if Richie said this to Martin in response to something Martin said previously? Would that change things? What if Richie and Martin said this type of stuff back and forth to each other, and Martin ended up getting his feelings hurt? I'm just saying we don't know the whole story.

people keep trying to make this a problem with the victim

Why aren't you saying 'what i don't understand is why cognito wanted to torment a fellow teammate'?

i'd rather have a world full of 'pussies' than a world full of jerks.

And you're clearly uninformed.

Stop the baseless speculation.

They do. Did you not see the tribal tattoo along with the dumb **** look on his face? The signs are everywhere. You just have to look with a keener eye.

There's plenty of back story where Richie is involved though.

mcaj22 · 11-04-2013, 04:10 PM

lol how did he get kicked off Oregon before ever even seeing a snap

I can see him just showing up and trying to do his schtick and Oregon saying yeah, scram. Think about it they had guys like Legarette Blount and the bozo QB that did whatever he did, stole stuff? So how bad of an asshole do you have to be for them to say not a ****ing chance.

I'm not making it about the victim. What Incognito did us inexcusable and I hope he never plays again. I was just a little shocked at Martin's reaction based on my limited experience with black people being called the n-word. Martina's reaction is his and I'm not saying it's wrong and I'm not calling him a pussy. I just expected something different when I read the transcript of the voice mails.
