This one is going to get ugly.

Martin has lawyered up.

Which makes sense that all the Miami players have come out supporting Incognito, since the Dolphins organization could be paying several million to Martin. They have been good little soldiers. Did exactly as they were told.

This isn't a move to appease people. This is a move to steer clear of a law suit.

Of course all the players who have been interviewed in the last couple of days are toeing the company line, as they have been instructed. It's all one big happy family, allegedly, and Igcognito is up for the next Mother Theresa award.

Pretty amusing.

Well they won't be able to avoid that, it appears.

On the surface, vile and vulgar, but IMO, it's taken out of context. Haven't you ever had this kind of banter with your bros?

Read this. It's by a former Dolphin O-lineman Lydon Murtha, who was released last year, so he has no self serving interests either way. He went to Nebraska with Incognito, so he's been privy to his character for a number of years. He considers himself a friend of both Incognito and Martin.

http://mmqb.si.com/2013/11/07/richie-incognito-jonathan-martin-dolphins-lydon-murtha/

Here are some excerpts:

Murtha depicts Martin as a loner who never opened up to players on the team, and one who overreacted to normal occurrences within Miami’s locker room. He said coaches told leaders on the team to bring Martin "out of his shell," and that is when issues started to occur.

“That’s where Incognito ran into a problem,” Murtha wrote for MMQB. “Personally, I know when a guy can’t handle razzing. You can tell that some guys just aren’t built for it. Incognito doesn’t have that filter. He was the jokester on the team, and he joked with everybody from players to coaches. That voicemail he sent came from a place of humor, but where he really screwed up was using the N-word. That, I cannot condone, and it’s probably the biggest reason he’s not with the team right now. Odd thing is, I’ve heard Incognito call Martin the same thing to his face in meetings and all Martin did was laugh. Many more worse things were said about others in the room from all different parties. It’s an Animal House. Now Incognito’s being slandered as a racist and a bigot, and unfortunately that’s never going to be wiped clean because of all the wrong he’s done people in his past. But if you really know who Richie is, he’s a really good, kind man and far from a racist.”

Murtha also offered an explanation for the accusations that Martin was forced to pay for a Las Vegas trip that he did not want to attend, and eventually skipped.
“Every year, as tradition, the offensive line goes on a big Vegas trip,” Mutha said. “Everything is paid for in advance, from hotels to a private jet to show tickets. Martin originally verbally committed to the trip, then later backed out after everything was booked. Now, if you can’t go because of an emergency then it’s okay, but to say you’re going and then decide you don’t want to spend the money later? Everything was paid for, and then when it was time to pay up he didn’t want to go anymore. You don’t do that to your brothers. The veterans who paid for it, including Incognito and others, asked for Martin’s share, and he gave it to them. End of story.”

In addition, Murtha said Martin overreacted to a cafeteria prank, which involved the lineman down at a table and everyone else getting up and leaving.
“The silliest part of this story, to me, is the incident at the cafeteria, in which Martin was supposed to have been hazed when everyone got up from their seats as he sat down. Whoever leaked that story failed to share that getting up from a packed lunch table when one lineman sits down is a running gag that has been around for years. It happened to me more than once, and it happened to Martin because guys on the team say he was overcoming an illness. Just like when a guy is hurt, the joke is, I don’t want to sit with you, you’ve got the bug. Perhaps for Martin it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but when Incognito reached him after he stormed out, Martin told him the departure had nothing to do with Incognito. Martin said it was something else. Then the media onslaught began.”

I agree. Dudes go at each other like that sometimes. I woulda said: "oh....for real? You must'a watched the video me and your momma made last night."

LaSalleAve when in doubt, mumble

Martin is a pussy. However Incognito is a terrible person. Apparently it's coming out that he sexually molested a woman at a Dolphins sponsored Golf Tourney with a golf club. The Dolphins knew about this and still named him a captain, and team leader.

I don't think anyone disputes either of these statements. Strictly speaking about the Martin incident, it was blwon out of proportion, IMO. If it was anyone else but Incognito, it wouldn't have gotten this much attention.

Almost.

The correct response would be:

"Oh yeah, well I been eyeing your momma, and I wanna have my cousin who is HIV positive fuck her til she bleeds to make sure she is infected."

Something along those lines. That would have really slayed them.

I know you're probably trying to be sarcastic, but the truth is that dudes go at eazch other like this all the time. Even though it's vile, most of the time, there's no ill will intended. They're just 'janking'.
