    People who are saying that he should have stood up to his bullies, in this situation that's much easier said than done. It might work, which is great. Or it might end up blowing up in your face, in which case you could become an even larger target of ridicule. It's not like we're talking about someone he could physically intimidate or rationalize with.

    After following this story, I can't decide who is a worse human being. Incognito or Mike Pouncey? After all Pouncy is also the one who wore the "Free Hernandez" hat when the patriots murderer got arrested. **** these guys.

    All in all, he shouldn't have ran to the media about it. Now he put his whole professional career in jeopardy.

    He didn't. He went to a hospital. From his perspective, his well-being probably trumps career.

    IIRC, the twins were around one of the violent incidents linked to Hernandez that happened at Florida. They surely seem to be scumbags.

    I hate to say this, but this is happens alot in our society ... quite honestly to unassuming and normal or even reserved people. Bully or person bothers you ... you are a coward/a certain word that means kitty cat and woman's anatomy/quite simply not worth anyone's time or worth being helped. You slug someone, resort to extensive violence that leads to bully being injured, harmed, hospitalized, or killed, all of sudden, bully was a harmless party, while person in question intentionally harm someone or took it to far. I've seen several situation, like this happen, there was a girl who I knew who went ahead and got a GED, because she got EXPELLED from school because basically used a blunt object against one of the girls that was bullying her. She had hard time even getting into the night school gig she had, because of that one incident, no other troubling issues in her school history. Another incident a girl (at very affluent) who was being bullied ended up dropping out of school, because kids were teasing her and playing pranks on her, she actually find something outside of school she wanted to do (which is good), but she said she had went to the principal and did nothing about it. Yes, school officials, teachers, and staff members do not always go vigorously after certain students, especially if their parents are influential in the community or if such a student is athlete or person of "importance" at the school. I mention this Incognito case now, because Incognito's behavior went beyond the code of the locker room and effected someone who was "not" on his level training assistant, while his antics with Martin already bad enough...it is starting to look worse for the Dolphins , like any institution that protects guilty party and ignore/demonize a victim of such.

    All in all, you are going to continue to try to find a way to put blame on Martin.

    Why not? Especially, when you have one guy who has harassed what, not one, not two, not three, but four different people (maybe more) in a span of less than two years. 2 teammates, an assistant trainer, and a female volunteer at a charity event.

    I'm not making this up.

    I'm trying to fathom why should Incognito's behavior is acceptable at any level, why shouldn't Martin have kept his mouth closed, especially when Incognito is harassing other people ... WHO ARE NOT "ACTUAL" NFL PLAYERS and not a part of the 'so-called" sacred lock-room club.

    People who are trying to blame Martin, or resolve Incognito a little, need to see the forest and not the trees.


    Tree (arguments): Martin, not being tough enough for the NFL (locker room). Incognito being a simple, yet harmless bully.


    Forest (arguments): Incognito harassing Martin, along with other players, staff members, and non-team members who are not inviting to his form of humor or harassment.

    In an ironic twist, Incognito couldn't handle all the heat/bullying he was getting on Twitter and he deleted his account last night.

    His people probably told him to do this so he wouldn't have another idiotic meltdown.

    He was having an idiotic meltdown shouting-fest tantrum with people on there last night and then at the end basically said he'd had enough and deleted his account.

    Would you want the guy on your team? I'd take him if he was an upgrade. He can't do that much damage anymore.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he is in something deeper than what anyone knows, and the Ferrari was damaged as a message, and he copped to it not to alarm anyone.

    Yeah, that sounds like some movie ish, but this guy is legit bad news.



    *Total speculation on my part.
