Jonathan Martin leaves Dolphins after 'breakdown'

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.

You have a coaching staff oblivious to this happening. An organization working off prepared statements and probably covering this up. Nutcases being appointed to leadership councils. Harassment that went way beyond the locker room to your own teammate, no less. Potentially group harassment.

And if Incognito's Dad's story is true that Martin tried to commit suicide several times, then this behavior goes from terrible to puke-worthy.

Of course not. And most players don't feel comfortable doing the same with other dudes that like their parts.
Non story being made a big deal by costas and those that beat off to his picture inbetween protesting redskin name, seaworld and the circus all while supporting obamacare

You should stop posting on this subject. Unless you're trolling and if that's the case, bravo!

ForeverChiefs58 should come out of the closet. It's okay, we're not all Richie Incognito... this is a safe place.

Incognito has just been trolling Martin in COD matches online.
Incognito is damn near impossible to see when he's camping.

Maybe we can cut to the chase here and move past the passive aggressiveness. Are you offended in some way because I raised the possibility that Martin might be gay? You won't be the first clown to misconstrue it as some kind of accusation instead of a simple question. Can I take it for granted that you've already read my previous posts on the subject or do we need to do this dance all over again?

Keyword being limited. The reasoning you posted for questioning his sexuality has about as much to do with said sexuality as with the things I listed. That's the point. You made assumptions about what he was without any evidence whatsoever, besides the "He's being bullied, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, so he might be gay" thing.

Bald Bryan on Carolla show used to coach at Martin's High School, and he says that the culture at that school was 'massive pussies.'

Parents would pull kids from football practice, I mean mid-practice, to study or for a violin recital.

The head coach pulled Bryan aside if he cursed or even got a mean voice while urging players on in practice.

Regular conversations about phrasing coaching in positive, not negative, terms.

'Lily-white rich private school pussies'

Just passing it along, no knowledge of it's veracity or applicability to Martin personally.

It doesn't matter where Martin came from period. I dgaf if he came from a insane asylum. We are judging the actions of incognito not wether or not Martin is too big of a baby because of where he grew up

It's not a good point. I didn't make any assumptions about him. I did what a good doctor does when presented with a handful of symptoms that could be caused by several different things. I identified a reasonable possibility (as opposed to the ludicrous possibilities you identified) and pursued a further examination (one that involved low cost testing, no less) to either confirm or rule out that possibility. I have concerns about whether or not you're cut out for this medical thing.

So they were smart, is that what this information implies...you know being that 99.9999% of highschool football players don't receive scholarships.

Basically, Martin is a nice guy and Incognito is scum. End story.

Why don't.ask if Martin is available? I've seen many posts bout Incog-****face-o being available, but what about Martin? Obviously the kid can play OLine as well, he just couldn't do it with Richie anymore. I'd rather the younger kid who can play who might be a bit reserved in his personality, than a giant ****ing asshole cancer who can play the game. Even if Martin is a pussy, he isn't on the field.
I get that he isn't available, but I love that people would rather have the cancer in our locker room than someone who can play but may have had a timid upbringing and it shows in certain ways.
So let me say it,

Martin? Bring him for a look? God knows we need help.

The trade deadline passed and he hasn't been put on waivers where I'm sure someone would claim him before us.
