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:

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By frankw · Posted

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
