Dolphins suspend Richie Incognito

[Mr. Scot]

Indefinitely, citing "conduct detrimental".

 

Makes me think they learned something about the whole Jonathan Martin fiasco that they didn't like.

Curious what exactly he did...

 

I think that just calling it "teasing" and "bullying" makes some of these NFL guys think it was nothing big.  I wonder what happened.

[PhillyB]

wow.

[Mr. Scot]

What does it take to bully a grown man? 

 

A pretty big man, mind you, and a professional athlete.  More than that, an offensive lineman who's made his living in the trenches, arguably the roughest place in professional sports.

 

What the hell happened in this story?

I've been wondering that since i heard it.

 

I mean I know some people are more fragile emotionally than others, and even the strongest people can be worn down by repeated teasing and mistreatment, even when it's small, but still...

See, I don't wanna go the route of calling Martin a pansy or something.  That said, I spent about ten years of my life in a football locker room, and that was only up through the high school level.  Even there, it was a pretty rough place.

 

If you're Martin, you're good enough and mentally tough enough to get to the NFL.  You've battled your way through every level to where you're one of the best in the world.  You're clearly not a pansy / wimp / whatever.  You've worked your whole life to get where you are, and now you're making more money than you ever did.

 

So what pushes that guy to the point he walks away from his million dollar job?

For the vast majority of the population, it doesn't take much if you have the right ammo.

 

If he beats the crap out of one of them then HE'S the problem. Fugged up situation...

[Mr. Scot]

Reports now saying that Incognito was using racist remarks and making plausible threats, not just generic 'kick your ass' type stuff.

Oy :unsure:

Tony Dungy and Scott Pioli both talked last night about their respective team's having flagged Incognito as undraftable (Pioli wasn't high on Jonathan Martin either).

A while back someone started a thread on here that we should try and obtain Incognito because he "wasn't a choirboy" and "had a mean streak".

Apparently :blink:

Interesting to note that's 2/5 of the Dolphins starting offensive line gone now.

[Hawk]

he was a punk ass bitch in St Louis...so nothing has changed.

[Mother Grabber]

being treated as a hate crime now.  Schefter has retweeted some of them:

nasty stuff.  he should be in jail, not just suspended.

[X-Clown]

Wasn't this guy one of grits' favorite players?

[Mr. Scot]

If I recall correctly, he and the Rams parted ways before Fisher was named head coach.

Ironic, given that he'd fit right in over there now.
