It's already in the T-box.

Did he even play enough to be able to claim CTE?

And yeah, the Incognito thing is a valid question. Sad to say somebody will probably go interview him and ask his opinion.

I'm honestly not sure Incognito is smart enough to understand that somebody he pushed around a little too much might someday come back and visit him while carrying a gun.

Yes. CTE is often the result of repeated head trauma. Not necessarily big trauma either, constant small hits to the head build it up. Aaron Hernandez was said to have the most severe case they had ever seen in a 27 year old, and he had been in jail for some time not taking hits to the head. It is very possible that Martin has some degree of CTE.

Terrible situation. Everyone has a breaking point. Kids are merciless in teasing and as adults we generally aren't much better as a species. If you've ever been bullied before you know that at some point the only thing you think about is some way to make it stop. It's a sad reality for far too many people. 

That, and the sad truth that the more things like this happen and get splashed all over the news, the more some misguided soul starts to see it as a viable option.

Obviously, you can't keep things like this out of the public eye. Still...

[Mr. Scot]

I would add that social media is probably considered by most bullies to be one of the greatest inventions of all time.

jesus christ, dude. better start pointing at cte and try to get some sympathy and dollars.

It would surprise me if he didn't. He's always found a way to portray himself as the victim.

To be fair though, Hernandez was a POS long before he played pro or even college football.

The part that is scarier to me is the use of guns is only the beginning. There is way too much info out there on how to crank this up quite a bit and cause major mass casualties.

I don't want to be somebody that calls Martin a pansy or a coward or anything like that (we had a few of those on here) but it is valid that he didn't exactly take a lot of responsibility for his own performance.

I got the feeling that the inside of his head was a very scary place.

Poor little snowflake.  *sniff*

Ol' Richie Incognito really hurt his feelings, guys.  He said mean things and picked on him and stuff.

The victim mentality displayed by Martin and many, many others in our country is a genuine mental illness.  

There was ALWAYS something "off" about Martin and that whole situation, and this just proves it.

Being a victim is not a mental illness. Being tortured relentlessly for years can absolutely have an effect on your psyche. Are there people that say they're a victim when they're not? Sure. But to dismiss what we're doing to each other for sadistic pleasure is beyond foolish. The people that are destroying someone for fun are the ones with a real mental illness.

Does Jonathan Martin have a mental illness and needs serious psychological help?  Yes, of course.

Does it somehow exonerate Richie Incognito or make him less of a dirt-bag for bullying him and hurting his mental state even more?  No it doesn't.

I just hate when everyone tries to take extreme position and don't acknowledge that one doesn't negate the other.
