A coach and I were talking yesterday (he hadn't heard this story), and he played college ball at the UofA. He was telling me about a guy they started callingTNT because he got "blown up" by a defensive back in spectacular fashion once. It evidently started really bugging the guy, so he asked the coach to intervene and make the players stop calling him that... evidently that didn't go so well and the ridicule just got even worse. Boys will be boys, even when they're in their 30s.

My first thought when I heard the report was 'roid rage, but your theory is a pretty good one.

I have little respect for people that revel in alienating others and making them feel like shit. Some people are different. Some are so different they come off as "weird".
Let that be that and go on about your business. |

It's widely believed Rhodes is gay, but he's not on a roster anymore. I don't think Jonathan Martin is the first gay player in the NFL, but the theory that he's gay could explain the hazing that set him off.

They said that the prank was because he was coughing and shit and when he sat down everyone else got up, evoking the 'don't get me sick' deal.

I feel like the psychology aspect of coaching is so underrated. I know guys like Belcher and Martin are unstable and maybe were doomed no matter what. But it's fair to ask if either Romeo or Philbin are the right guys to identify the problem, and fix it. I don't know. I just feel like there are lots of coaches in the NFL that would never, ever stand for this kind of locker room behavior. |

Jonathan Martin - T - Dolphins
FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo reports Dolphins RT Jonathan Martin's (illness) absence is considered "indefinite." He'll be placed on the reserve/non-football illness list shortly. It's believed LG Richie Incognito -- one of the heads of the Dolphins' team leadership council -- was at the forefront of the "bullying" that led to Martin's mental meltdown. The Fins will move forward with Tyson Clabo at right tackle. Figures it was Incognito...heard that guy is an epic douchebag. |

It's been pretty obvious that he is human garbage since college.
