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...

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:

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
