I believe Hidden Dick will be giving an interview to Jay Glazer in the pregame shows. Since I won't be waking up early to watch, looking forward to J.R.'s recap
I would think that he would mostly regret his past because its a large reason (probably the largest) why he can't shed this thing. Hell, I haven't heard anything about Riley Cooper since the season started. His past is finally catching up to him, and instead of acknowledging it (granted I haven't seen the full interview....they've GOT to touch on it), he's essentially only apologizing to what he feels has caused the most anger. He's living in his own world, at this point. From the sounds i of it, he has been for a long time. * I realize I'm jumping to conclusions a bit here because I only have a few lines of contextless stupidity.
I am guessing martin was just trying to fit in just go with, but at some point realized he was tired of this crap and decided to blow the whole thing up. http://www.trentonian.com/sports/20131106/who-is-jonathan-martin-and-why-was-he-bullied
Part of the Jay Glazer interview: You've become the face of bullying in America. When someone thinks of a bully, they think of Richie Incognito. This isn't an issue about bullying. This is an issue of my and Jon's relationship where I've taken stuff too far. I did not intend to hurt him. What I was going for, I was going for "I haven't seen my buddy. I wanted to shock him. I wanted him to call me back. When the words are put into the context, I understand why a lot of eyebrows get raised but people don't know how Jon and I communicate to each other. For instance, a week before this went down, Jonathan Martin texts me on my phone, "I will murder your whole f--ing family." Did I think Jonathan Martin was going to murder my family? Not one bit. He left that text for you? He texted me that. I didn't think he was going to kill my family. I knew it was coming from a brother. I knew it was coming from a friend. I knew it was coming from a teammate. That just puts into context how we communicate with one another. Glazer: There are so many ugly subjects. I asked Richie about them all. The only one he sidestepped is "Did the coaches order a 'code red'? He sidestepped it and said I can't talk about it.

Pretty much sums it up. I think what caused Martin to lose it is also his poor performance on the field, and losing his starting position. And now he wants a pay day from the NFL. That's all it really is.

kinda feel really bad for Incognito after seeing these texts...seems like two dudes just having a normal time. Trying to build a friendship, but somewhere along the lines, Martin felt that this life was too much for him...and became toxic. Where all of this was wrong was accusing Incognito as the cause of all this. There is still a lot that is left out of the story, but these text reveal a teammate that was just that...a teammate, a guy who was being a normal dude. Martin really looks bad.
