In response to "At some point, after getting that many texts and stuff...wouldn't you just kick the living shit out of the guy?" by Jim

I find the story fascinating, in that this big tough football player basically went home crying.

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Nov 4 '13, 09:08

while I do not agree with some of the stuff that has come out, why would Martin not have went to the team with this stuff before it got out of hand?

And Martin's mental state is certainly in question going forward.

I swear, I would have never thought a football player would get "bullied"

Responses:

Given the stories coming out, it's entirely plausible. There's more than 1 veteran 300lb guy on the team; - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:19
when this first all started coming out someone in the Miami organizarion said that Incognito was a 'model citizen'. - Diva Nov 4, 09:18 22
- Right? Makes you question that story that was posted on NFL.com (that GregW posted here) about his "reformation." -- (link) - Stephen Nov 4, 09:49
- agreed. if someone in the organization is saying that they're not helping Martin. - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:21

  - I think this nails it right here. Rookies carrying pads, doing laundry, getting stuck with checks and all that stuff... - Jim Nov 4, 09:39
  - Or they realized they weren't going to be able to bury it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:22 14
    - and also, how fucking stupid is Incognito for putting this shit down in a text? - groiny Nov 4, 09:25 12
      - Brains has never been listed as one of his strong suits. Plus, I doubt this is the first instance of this. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:26 11
        
        well, I would think someone with a high school level education could see that. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:27 10
        
        It's about arrogance, not stupidity. -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:34 9
        
        I'm not sure it's an either/or proposition -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 09:37 2
        
        Perhaps not in this case. But I'm thinking of the current crop of financial scandals like LIBOR - traders documenting their own fraud in emails, etc -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:42 1
        
        yeah, that's pure arrogance. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:43
        
        maybe, but still, I would think you would not want anything to tie back to you. - groiny Nov 4, 09:35 5
        
        eh, seems like he's wrong-o in the head. he's not going to make these rationalizations like other people would. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:39
        
        I'd think so too - but plenty of smart people get burned by paper trails they control. - Roger More Nov 4, 09:39

        don't commit murder and you can have all this money. - Diva Nov 4, 09:43 1
        
        this will always be a mystery to me... - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:45
    - yonh. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:23
  - that I can see. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:22
  - agreed and I think it changed as part of getting ready to deal with a hailstorm of crap that's about to come down. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:22 1
    - it is CYA at it's finest. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:22
Anyone can be bullied, not just 57lb weaklings. And maybe he doesn't trust the Dolphins organization to take his side over Incognito's -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:18 6
- Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 09:20
- I would think the Dolphins have to provide a safe work enviroment for employees.... - groiny Nov 4, 09:20 4
  - The last line in your IM is pretty much what I am saying. -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:23
  - With the contract terms in the NFL....that's a potential monster lawsuit. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:20 1
    - Yup. -- nm - pmb Nov 4, 09:21
  - re the last line in your im: yup. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:20
No shit...a 6'3" 300 pound offensive lineman is getting bullied. Really? - Jim Nov 4, 09:12 1
- It's not like Incognito's a little guy. And if he's as unhinged as he seems and others seem to follow him (which is part of the impression I got), I - pmb Nov 4, 09:20
