🏈 Martin/Incognito - another classic case of ESPN flaming the wrong fire

[riz]

I posted this at the beginning of the thread :biggrin_blue:

Deja wut?

Honestly I dont care what they think. When someone calls another person a "half breed n*gger" it's pretty much an open and shut case that that person is a piece of sh*t. But we have hear a guy who was suspended by Nebraska repeatedly and then finally kicked off the team. He then went to Oregon and got kicked off the team before playing a game. He once attempted to break a defensive lineman's ankle during a game... I mean I really don't need any more evidence to know I think he's an asshole and a douche bag.

So, what's your thoughts on Icognito?

1. Regardless of what you think of Martin, Incognotio is an asshole.

2. There will be more stuff come out on this.

lol did I not make it very clear? He's an asshole, and the two people I talked to that are Oregon fans said that he was a total douche and they were glad he got kicked off the team...

I don't have very high opinions of his teammates or coaches either. I dont care about hazing, we've all been hazed whether in football or just school but when it crosses from hazing to just plain abuse whether physical or emotional its wrong. If his teammates saw him saying and doing some of the things that Incognito supposedly did, they're all punks for not handling it especially the veterans. They're just as big of punks as Martin was for not standing up for himself. And if it's true that one of the coaches told him to "toughen" Martin up, that coach damn sure shares some of the burden on this. You tell someone thats pretty much a damn psychopath to "toughen" a player up? I mean really?! And the fact that some teammates were okay with Incognito using the N-word and saying he was blacker than Martin blows my damn mind. Regardless how any of them could be OKAY with him calling Martin a "half breed n*gger" is unbelievable.

This name calling thing is childish. The owners, coaches and higher position people are fully to blame here. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. This should of been handled internally and instead was turned into a childish pee wee league outcome. Incognito is a joke, Martin is a joke, and the higher ups in Miami are a joke. The whole thing reeks of childish BS that is ran by a bunch of pre-school hall monitors.

Sounds like someone needs to evaluate the evaluators.

Is it a shock that Bill Parcells leaves and the place seems like noone is actually holding anyone accountable anymore?

Yeah, or they all need to man up and handle things without the drama. Bunch of pansies!

Hmm...maybe its a Miami thing. Remember a certain HC making a lineman cry.

No doubt, no wonder he left Miami.

Yeah, it's BR, but an ex-NFL player looks back at his experiences with the Raiders and Jets, and team culture. It's actually really interesting and not so much about Incognito/Martin. Definitely worth a read.

Also this .. Features a timeline of both Incognito's and Martin's experiences (although Incognito's history is more colorful) in college and pro football.
