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:

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
